Plumbing emergencies do not wait for business hours. A pipe bursts at 2 a.m., a sewer backs up on a holiday weekend, a water heater lets go while you are asleep — and every minute of standing water means more damage. When that happens in McKinney, you need someone who actually answers and actually comes.
We keep 24/7 emergency service with a 60-minute response promise anywhere in Collin County, dispatched from our McKinney base and routed by whichever roads are fastest — US 75, US 380, SH 121, or the tollway. North Texas hands us plenty of after-hours work: hard freezes split exposed pipes the way Winter Storm Uri did, storm season overwhelms drains, and our clay soil moves lines until a joint gives when you least expect it. Whatever the cause, we come ready to stop the damage first.
When you call, a real person helps you shut off the water and talks you through the next few minutes while we roll a truck — no answering service runaround, no waiting until Monday.
Call us right away for
- A burst or leaking pipe flooding the home
- Sewage backing up into tubs, toilets, or floor drains
- The smell of gas (leave the house first, then call)
- No water at all, or water you cannot shut off
- A water heater leaking, or leaking gas or carbon monoxide
- An overflowing toilet you cannot stop
- A slab leak soaking floors or the foundation
- Frozen pipes during a hard freeze
How we handle it
- 1
Call and stabilize
A real person answers 24/7 and walks you through shutting off the water or gas to stop the damage while we dispatch the nearest truck.
- 2
60-minute response
We roll from our McKinney base and aim to reach you anywhere in Collin County within the hour, taking the fastest route for the time of day.
- 3
Control the damage first
On arrival we stop the water or gas, contain the flooding, and make the situation safe before we move on to the repair itself.
- 4
Repair and give options
We make the emergency repair, then explain what caused it and what a permanent fix looks like — with clear pricing, even at 3 a.m.
What counts as a plumbing emergency
If water is spreading, sewage is coming up, you smell gas, or you have no water at all, treat it as an emergency and call now. These situations get worse and more expensive by the minute, and some — like a gas leak or sewage backup — are health and safety risks, not just property damage.
Gas leaks come first
If you smell gas, do not flip switches or light anything. Get everyone out of the house, then call us and the gas company from outside. We handle gas line repair and leak detection, and safety comes before the repair every time.
While you wait for us
- Shut off the water — at the fixture stop valve, or the main by the meter for a big leak
- For a water-heater leak, close the cold-water supply valve on top of the tank
- Kill power to the affected area if water is near outlets or the electrical panel
- Move valuables and furniture away from the spreading water
- For a gas smell, leave first and call from outside
- For a sewer backup, stop using every drain and fixture
Why call us in an emergency

Work is performed under our Texas Responsible Master Plumber, licensed and insured, and we quote clearly even after hours — no taking advantage of the moment. One call gets you a plumber who answers, arrives, and fixes it.
