Check This First
For these water or sewer problems, call us from a safe place. Stay out of standing water near electrical equipment and keep people away from sewage.
Active flooding or water spreading across the floor
Sewage backing up into a tub, sink, or floor drain
No water at all, anywhere in the house
A burst or split pipe under a sink, wall, or slab
A real person answers, day or night. Tell us what's happening and where the water shutoff is if you know it. We'll discuss safe next steps and confirm availability and an estimated arrival window.
Our plumber comes ready for the situation you described, with the parts and tools most emergency calls need. We find the source fast, stop the damage, and explain your repair options before touching anything else.
We confirm the fix is holding, clean up the work area, and make sure your water is running the way it should. You'll get straight pricing with nothing added after the fact.
Any Emergency, Any Hour
PlumbSmart trucks carry the parts and tools for the emergencies we see most in San Antonio homes. Whatever is happening, you get a licensed plumber who can actually fix it on the first visit, not just stop the bleeding.
Call our 24/7 line to describe the problem and check availability. We will discuss an estimated arrival window based on your location and the plumbers available.
Ask about visit, diagnostic, and after-hours charges when scheduling. We explain the repair options and quoted scope before work begins. Ask which warranty terms apply to your specific repair or installation.
Pipes burst at midnight. Water heaters fail on a Sunday. A backed-up line doesn't wait for Monday morning. PlumbSmart built its emergency service around that reality. Call day or night to discuss the problem, safe next steps, and current availability.
We help with emergency plumbing across San Antonio: slab leaks in older neighborhoods, water heater blowouts in new construction, and every kind of burst pipe in between. Whatever set off your alarm bells tonight, we've likely seen it before and know how to stop it fast.
The moment you call, we get your address, a quick description of what's happening, and discuss current availability and the estimated arrival window. If you know where your main water shutoff is, we'll walk you through closing it while help is on the way. That single step can be the difference between a repair and a full remediation.
Here's what we check on every emergency visit, no matter what brought us out:
Emergencies are urgent, not complicated. We keep pricing straight even when the clock says 3am.
Fast Response, Citywide
PlumbSmart trucks are spread across the San Antonio area, not parked at one shop waiting for a call. That means a shorter drive to your door whether you're downtown or out toward the suburbs.

I am having a weird issue with intermittent dampness in my garage. Roger spent about 1.5 hours trying to locate the problem. He assured me it was not a plumbing problem and told me not to worry about the service call.

PlumbSmart was the only plumbing company that responded the same day to fix a leak. Excellent work and coordination. All over great team.
Plumbing disasters don't wait for business hours. Our expert team is ready to roll at any moment's notice, day or night, to handle your emergencies.
Call for current availability. Arrival time depends on your location, the situation, and available plumbers. We will discuss the expected window with you; this page does not promise immediate dispatch.
Active flooding, sewage backup, a gas smell near any fixture or appliance, a burst pipe, no water at all, or a water heater failing in a way that's flooding a closet or attic. For a gas smell, leave immediately and call 911 and CPS Energy at (210) 353-4357 from a safe location. For other plumbing concerns, call us to discuss next steps.
Ask about any visit, diagnostic, night, weekend, or holiday charges when you call. We explain the proposed work and price before starting. Additional work requires discussing the revised scope and price with you.
If you smell gas, leave immediately without using switches, appliances, or a phone in the affected area. From a safe location call 911 and CPS Energy at (210) 353-4357. Do not return until responders say it is safe. For an active water leak, close the main water shutoff only if you can reach it safely. Keep people away from sewage and standing water near electrical equipment.
In almost every case, yes. Most burst pipe calls are resolved same-visit once we locate the break. If the damage is more extensive, like a slab leak or a pipe buried in a wall, we'll stop the immediate flooding first and schedule the full repair right after.
Tell us what is happening so we can discuss the next step. Ask about evaluation, diagnostic, and after-hours charges before scheduling.

PlumbSmart works under Master Plumber Adam Shannon's license, #M-42778, and emergency calls are where that license actually gets tested. Anyone can hand you a wrench. Fewer people can walk into a flooded utility room at 1am and know exactly where the shutoff is, what failed, and how to fix it without making the night worse.
Our emergency work follows the same approach as a routine appointment: diagnose the problem, explain the repair options, and discuss pricing before work begins.
If you're reading this because something is actively going wrong in your home right now, stop reading and call. We'll ask a few quick questions, get you started on what to do safely and confirm the available arrival window.
