Best Plumber Near You — Available 24/7
Emergency plumbing, drain cleaning, water heaters, slab leaks, and sewer repairs handled by licensed Texas professionals.
When water is where it should not be, every minute counts. A burst pipe can pour hundreds of gallons into your walls before you find the shutoff valve, and a backed-up sewer can turn a normal Tuesday into a health hazard. Tetra Plumber Texas answers those calls day and night, dispatching licensed, insured plumbers to homes and businesses across the state’s five biggest metros.
We are not a call center and we are not a referral service. When you dial +1 (332) 242-2989, you reach our own dispatch team, and the person who shows up at your door works for us. Ten years in the Texas trade means we have seen what this state’s expansive clay soil, hard water, and sudden freezes do to plumbing systems, and we arrive prepared for exactly that.

Emergency Plumber on the Way — Burst Pipes, Sewer Backups, Gas Leaks, and No Hot Water
Some problems tolerate a wait until morning. These are not those problems. If a pipe has burst, your sewer line is backing up into the house, you smell gas near an appliance, or your water heater has quit on the coldest night of the year, call +1 (332) 242-2989 now. Our dispatchers answer around the clock and can usually get a fully stocked truck to Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Austin, or Fort Worth homes the same day, often within hours.
While you wait, do this
Shut off the main water valve first — in most Texas homes it sits in the garage wall closest to the street or near the water heater. For a suspected gas leak, leave the house before calling and do not touch switches. If the water heater is leaking, cut power to the unit at the breaker and close its cold-water supply line. These three steps, which take under two minutes, routinely save our customers thousands of dollars in water damage before we even arrive.
what we handle as emergencies:
- Burst pipe repair and emergency water leak repair, including frozen pipe bursts after Texas cold snaps
- Emergency drain cleaning for clogged toilets, standing water, and main-line stoppages
- Emergency sewer repair when sewage backs up through floor drains or tubs
- Emergency water heater repair when the tank fails and there is no hot water
- Gas line leak repair and pressure testing
- Slab leak repair when you hear water running with every tap closed
One call reaches a 24 hour plumber who is already working in your metro, not one being routed from another state.

Plumbing in Texas Is Different. Ten Years Here Taught Us Exactly How.
Ask a plumber from Ohio to diagnose a slab leak in Katy and you will get a guess. Texas punishes plumbing systems in three very specific ways, and a company that treats this state like anywhere else will miss the real cause of your problem.
The clay soil moves, and your slab moves with it.
Much of the Gulf Coast and DFW corridor sits on expansive clay that swells after rain and shrinks in drought. That seasonal heaving flexes the copper lines buried beneath your foundation until they fatigue and pinhole. This is why slab leak detection is almost a routine call in Houston, Dallas, and Fort Worth while it is rare in most other states. We locate the leak with acoustic listening equipment and thermal imaging, then recommend the least destructive repair — a direct repair by tunneling, or a reroute through the attic when the line is too far gone.
The water is hard, and it is quietly killing your water heater.
Much of Central Texas draws from limestone aquifers, which means dissolved calcium and magnesium flowing through every tank. Sediment bakes onto the bottom of conventional heaters, the anode rod sacrifices itself years early, and tankless units lose flow to scale. Regular flushing and descaling, which we include in maintenance visits, routinely doubles the life of both.
The weather has two violent settings.
Summer heat bakes exposed PVC and stresses fittings, and when a blue norther drops temperatures below freezing in Houston, Dallas, or San Antonio, unprotected pipes in attics and exterior walls burst by the dozen — usually at 2 a.m. We keep winterization supplies on our trucks from November through February, and our crews know which older neighborhoods still run vulnerable galvanized and cast iron lines.
Code knowledge is not optional.
Plumbing work in Texas happens under the Uniform Plumbing Code and International Plumbing Code as adopted locally, and permit and inspection rules differ between the City of Houston, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, and Fort Worth. Because we hold a Responsible Master Plumber designation through the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners, we pull permits where they are required and our work passes inspection the first time. If another company tells you a permit is not needed for a repipe or gas line job, ask them why.
From Your First Call to the Final Walkthrough
You reach a person, not a machine.
Describe the problem — or send photos on WhatsApp to +1 (332) 242-2989 — and we give you a realistic arrival window.
We diagnose before we quote.
A licensed technician inspects, explains what failed and why in plain language, and tells you exactly what the repair will cost before we begin. You pay nothing until the job is finished and you have seen it working.
Most repairs finish in one visit.
Trucks carry the fittings, valves, water heaters, and disposal units we use most, so jobs rarely wait on parts.
We test, clean up, and stand behind it.
Every job ends with a function test and a walkthrough. If something we repaired fails, we come back and make it right.
What Texas Homeowners Say After the Water Stops
Water heater died Sunday night. They picked up on the second ring, had a new tank installed by lunch Monday, and I did not pay a cent until it was running and checked.
Two other companies guessed at our slab leak. Tetra found it with the camera and listening gear in under an hour and tunneled to it without breaking our kitchen floor.
Our restaurant's grease trap and floor drains back up every few months. Their hydro jetting program has kept us open through three busy seasons.
Slab leak under the master bath was located with electronic detection the same morning we called. Repair was clean, drywall patch included, and no further issues after three months.
Main sewer line backed up during a heavy rain. Camera inspection, hydro jetting, and root removal finished the same day. No more backups since.
Burst pipe in the garage at 2 a.m. Emergency tech arrived in under an hour, shut the water off, and completed the repair before sunrise.
Full repipe of our 1980s home took three days, stayed on schedule, and the new fixtures work perfectly. Crew was respectful of the house the entire time.

What Plumbing Costs in Texas — Straight Answers Before You Book
Nobody likes a price that changes after the work starts, so here is how pricing actually works. The U.S. EPA estimates the average household loses more than 10,000 gallons a year to leaks — water you pay for and never use — which is why a modest leak-detection visit often pays for itself within months. For bigger failures, the difference between a fast response and a slow one is measured in thousands: water damage restoration typically runs from roughly $1,400 to well over $6,000 depending on severity, while the emergency plumbing call that prevents it is a fraction of that.
A few honest ranges we see across our five metros (every job is quoted before work begins, and you pay nothing until the repair is finished and you are satisfied):
- Drain cleaning and simple repairs usually land in the low hundreds.
- Water heater replacement varies mainly by tank size and whether you switch to tankless.
- Slab leak and sewer line work is priced by access method — a spot repair is far cheaper than a full replacement, and trenchless options often sit between the two.
If a quote from anyone, including us, ever feels vague, ask these three questions: what exactly is included, what could change the price, and what warranty covers the work. Any professional will answer all three without hesitation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you really answer 24/7, including weekends and holidays?
Yes. Burst pipes, sewer backups, and gas leaks do not wait for business hours, so our dispatch line at +1 (332) 242-2989 is staffed around the clock, every day of the year, across Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Austin, and Fort Worth.
How fast can a plumber reach my home?
For emergencies we typically arrive the same day, often within a few hours, because our crews are already working inside your metro rather than dispatched from a distant hub. You receive a realistic window when you call and a heads-up when the truck is close.
How much does an emergency plumber cost in Texas?
Emergency repairs in Texas metros are usually quoted between one and a few hundred dollars depending on the job, timing, and parts. We quote the job before we begin, and you pay nothing until the work is finished and you are satisfied — the number you approve is the number you pay.
How do I know my Texas plumber is actually licensed?
Any legitimate Texas plumbing company operates under a Responsible Master Plumber registered with the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners. Ask for the license number and verify it yourself on the TSBPE public license search — we encourage you to check ours before we start work.
What should I do while waiting for an emergency plumber?
Shut off the main water valve — usually on the garage wall closest to the street. For gas smells, leave the house and avoid light switches. For a leaking water heater, cut its breaker and cold-water supply. These steps take two minutes and can prevent thousands in damage.
Do you handle both residential and commercial plumbing?
Yes. We service single-family homes, rentals, and restaurants, offices, and retail spaces. Commercial work includes grease trap cleaning, commercial drain cleaning, backflow preventer installation and testing, and commercial water heater installation.
Is hydro jetting safe for older cast iron sewer lines?
Usually yes, but the line should be camera-inspected first. Sound cast iron handles high-pressure jetting well; badly corroded sections can be damaged, which is exactly why we inspect before we jet and show you the footage.
Which areas do you serve?
Our five metros are Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth, San Antonio, and Austin, plus more than sixty surrounding communities including Katy, Plano, Arlington, Round Rock, and New Braunfels. If you are between cities, call us and we will tell you honestly whether we can reach you fast.
Traditional tank or tankless water heater — which should I choose?
Tanks cost less to buy and suit most households. Tankless units deliver endless hot water and save space but need periodic descaling in Texas hard water. We walk you through payback math for your household before you decide, then install to local code.
Why does my hot water smell like rotten eggs?
That sulfur smell usually means hydrogen sulfide produced by bacteria reacting with your water heater’s anode rod — common with Texas well and municipal water. A plumber fixes it by flushing the tank and often replacing the anode rod, and the odor typically disappears the same day.
One Call Ends the Problem
A slow drip behind a wall and a slab leak under your foundation both start small, and both get more expensive every day they wait. Whether it is an emergency flooding your kitchen right now or a water heater you already know will not survive the winter, the next step is the same one our Texas customers have taken for ten years.
Call or WhatsApp +1 (332) 242-2989, or email info@tetraplumbertaxes.com. You will reach a real person, get an honest quote before we start, and have a licensed Texas professional at your door — today, tonight, or this weekend. And you will not pay a cent until the job is done and you are happy with it.
