What Our Emergency Plumbing Service Includes
Every emergency call includes the essentials: diagnosis, repair and testing. We do not charge extra for the things that should be standard.
Work order
Emergency Plumbing- Full Diagnostic Assessment: We inspect the problem area, test water pressure with a gauge and use a sewer camera or leak detection equipment when needed. You see the findings and understand the cause before we quote any repair.
- Water Shutoff and Damage Control: If water is still running, we shut the main valve or isolate the fixture. We also help you move valuables and contain the water to limit damage while we work.
- Repair or Replacement: We fix the failed component, whether that is a burst pipe section, a water heater element, a shutoff valve or a drain line. We use copper, PEX or PVC as the job requires.
- Pressure Testing: After the repair, we pressurize the line and watch the gauge. If it holds steady, the fix is good. If it drops, we keep working until we find the remaining leak.
- Cleanup and Written Summary: We clean the work area, haul away old parts and leave you a written summary of what failed, what we fixed and what to watch for next. You have a record for your files.

What Emergency Plumbing in schertz Actually Involves
A plumbing emergency never waits for a convenient time. We stop the damage, fix the cause and test the repair before we leave. That is how you protect your home and your wallet.
When a pipe bursts at 2 a.m. or a slab leak soaks your foundation, we shut off the water, diagnose the failure with leak detection equipment and sewer cameras, then repair or replace the failed section using copper pipe, PEX tubing or PVC pipe that meets Texas code. We test every repair under pressure before we leave.
Schertz sits on clay soil that shifts with every wet and dry cycle, and that movement cracks pipes and opens slab leaks. Summer heat pushes water heaters to failure, and winter freezes split outdoor spigots and hose bibs. We carry RIDGID press tools, Milwaukee drain snakes and Rheem water heater parts on every truck so most repairs finish in one visit.

Our Emergency Plumbing Process
Every emergency call follows the same disciplined sequence.
Tools and Methods We Use
Each method answers a different question. Together they leave very little to guess.
Acoustic and thermal sensors pinpoint hidden leaks behind walls and under slabs without tearing up your home. We mark the exact spot before we cut.
We use RIDGID press fittings to join copper and PEX pipe in seconds. No open flame, no waiting for solder to cool, faster repairs.
Powered drain snakes clear tough clogs in kitchen, bath and main lines. We match the cable size to the pipe diameter to avoid damage.
High-pressure water scours grease, scale and roots from drain lines. We use it after snaking to restore full flow and clean pipe walls.
When to Call for Emergency Plumbing
A pipe bursts under your kitchen sink at 2 a.m. and water is spreading across the floor.
Call us immediately. We dispatch the nearest plumber, who shuts off the water, replaces the failed pipe section and tests the line.
HomesYour water heater starts leaking from the bottom on a Friday evening before a holiday weekend.

How Emergency Plumbing Works in schertz
Schertz plumbing fails in predictable ways. The clay soil expands and contracts with our wet and dry seasons, cracking pipes and opening slab leaks. Summer heat pushes water heaters past their limit. Winter freezes split outdoor spigots and hose bibs.
Schertz Heights
Older homes here often have cast iron drain lines that scale and clog. We camera them before recommending repair or replacement.
Cibolo Valley Ranch
Newer construction with PEX supply lines. We carry PEX fittings and press tools to match these systems.
Universal City
Clay soil movement causes slab leaks here. We use acoustic leak detection to find them without breaking the slab.

PhotoBurst Pipe in Universal City
Before: A supply pipe burst in the wall of a Universal City home, spraying water into the hallway. The homeowner shut off the main valve but the drywall was soaked and water was spreading toward the living room.
After: We cut out the failed copper section and replaced it with PEX tubing and press fittings. The repair took 90 minutes. We pressure-tested the line, restored water and helped the homeowner dry the area.
Slab Leak in Cibolo
Before: A slab leak was feeding water under the foundation, threatening cracks in the tile.
After: We used acoustic leak detection to pinpoint the leak under the kitchen. We rerouted the line through the attic, avoiding concrete demolition. The water bill returned to normal within one cycle.
Sewer Backup in Live Oak
Before: A Live Oak family had sewage backing into their laundry room. The line was clogged with tree roots and years of grease. Multiple drain cleaners had failed to clear it.
After: We camera-inspected the line, found a root mass 30 feet out, and cleared it with a hydro jetter. We then repaired a cracked section of PVC pipe. The line flowed freely and the backup stopped.
Plumbing Emergencies We Solve in schertz
These are the calls we get most often from schertz homeowners. Each one needs a fast, correct fix to prevent lasting damage.
Burst pipe flooding your home
Water can soak drywall, ruin flooring and spawn mold within 24 hours. The longer it runs, the higher your repair bill climbs.
Slab leak soaking your foundation
A slab leak can undermine your foundation and cause cracks in walls and floors. It also spikes your water bill by hundreds of dollars a month.
Sewage backing up into your tub
Raw sewage in your home is a health hazard. It contaminates surfaces and creates foul odors that linger for weeks.
Water heater leaking or dead
A leaking tank can flood a closet or garage. No hot water disrupts your morning routine and can force a costly hotel stay.

What Schertz Customers Say
A pipe burst under our slab at 11 p.m. on a Sunday. Pro Plumbing Schertz answered on the second ring and had a plumber at our door in about 45 minutes. He found the leak with acoustic equipment, rerouted the line and had water back on by 2 a.m. No overtime charge. These guys know what they are doing.
Our water heater died the day before Thanksgiving. I called three plumbers and only Pro Plumbing Schertz called back. They installed a new Rheem unit the same afternoon. The technician explained everything, cleaned up the old heater and left the closet spotless. Fair price, no surprises.
We manage several rental properties in the schertz area. When a sewer line backed up at one of our units, Pro Plumbing Schertz sent a camera truck and found tree roots in the line. They cleared it and repaired the damaged section in one visit. Our tenants were happy and we saved money on multiple service calls.
