What We Handle

We Respond to These Situations.

Not every plumber picks up for emergencies. Shane does. If you have one of these situations, call — we will tell you honestly whether it requires immediate response or can wait for a scheduled visit.

Burst or Ruptured Pipes

Active water from a broken supply line, copper pipe, or PVC fitting. Shut off the main immediately, then call. Every minute of flow increases water damage and remediation cost.

Home Flooding from Plumbing

Water on the floor from a failed appliance connection, toilet supply line, or supply valve. We locate the source, isolate it, and make the repair.

Sewage Backup

Sewage coming back into tubs, toilets, or floor drains is a health hazard that needs same-day attention. Indicates a main line blockage or failed sewer lateral — not a plunger problem.

No Water to the Home

Complete loss of water pressure can point to a failed shutoff valve, a broken main supply line, or a meter issue. We diagnose the source and restore supply.

Failed Water Heater — Active Leak

A water heater leaking at the base or from fittings needs immediate attention. Shut off the cold supply to the unit and call. We assess and replace same day when stock allows.

Toilet Overflow or Continuous Run

A toilet actively overflowing or running without stopping is an emergency depending on the cause. Shut off the supply valve at the wall behind the toilet, then call if you cannot get it under control.

What Happens When You Call

Call. We Triage. We Fix It.

No call center, no dispatch queue, no hold music. Shane picks up, asks the right questions, and gets moving.

You Call, Shane Answers

No automated system. Describe what you're seeing. We triage the severity on the call — and if you can stop active water flow with the main shutoff, we walk you through it while we're on our way.

We Arrive and Diagnose

We find the source before we quote the work. No guessing, no recommending a repair without understanding the full problem. You get a price before anything is touched.

We Fix It and Confirm

The repair is done to code. We test before leaving — no return calls for the same issue. We also document what we found so you have a record if you're dealing with an insurance claim.

Shane Picks Up the Phone

When you call in an emergency, you reach Shane directly — the licensed plumber who will be showing up. No hold queue, no call center routing you to whoever is available, no callback window.

Licensed for the Work He Does

Texas Residential Master Plumber RMP #46840. Emergency plumbing involves shutoffs, pressure systems, sewer lines, and sometimes gas. It should be handled by someone licensed for it — not a general handyman.

Price Before Any Work Starts

Emergency pricing is different from standard scheduling — we are upfront about that. What you will always get is the quote before the work begins. No one should receive an invoice surprise on top of a plumbing crisis.

We Know When to Stop and Refer

If a situation involves structural damage, mold risk, or water intrusion that requires a remediation crew, we say so. Getting the plumbing fixed is one part of a bigger problem — we help you understand the full picture.

FAQ

Emergency Plumbing Questions.

Shut off the main water supply to your home immediately. In most Austin homes the main shutoff is near the water meter at the front of the property or at a wall-mounted valve near the water heater. Once water is stopped, call a licensed plumber. Document the damage with photos before any cleanup if an insurance claim is likely.
Response time depends on current call volume and your location within the service area. For emergencies involving active water flow or sewage, we prioritize and move as quickly as conditions allow. Call 512-285-7400 directly — Shane answers the phone. Do not submit a web form if water is actively flowing.
Emergency and after-hours work is priced differently from standard scheduled calls — that is true of any licensed plumber. What you will always get from SolidStreams is the price before work starts, not after. No invoice surprise when you are already dealing with a crisis.
Any situation where water is actively flowing where it should not be, sewage is backing up into living areas, there is no water supply to the home, or there is a potential gas line concern. A slow drain or dripping faucet is not an emergency — schedule that during regular hours. When in doubt, call and describe the situation. We will tell you honestly whether it needs immediate response.
