What to Do During a Plumbing Emergency
Turn Off Your Water
The first step in any plumbing emergency is shutting off your home’s main water valve to stop the flow and limit damage.
In most Austin homes, the shut-off valve is near the front curb under a ground box or inside a utility area. Doing this quickly can save you from flooding until help arrives.
Skip Chemical Cleaners
While it’s tempting to reach for a store-bought drain cleaner, chemical products often cause more harm than good by eating away at pipes.
Instead, rely on professional tools that clear clogs safely and effectively. Calling a plumber right away helps prevent costly long-term pipe damage.
Call a Licensed Plumber
Once the situation is under control, call an emergency plumber to fix the problem at the source.
Our team at Magic Plumbing ATX is available 24/7 to repair burst pipes, clogged drains, water heater breakdowns, and more. A licensed professional ensures the job is done right the first time.
Stay Safe
Some emergencies, like sewer backups or flooding near electrical outlets, can create unsafe conditions.
Avoid standing water, turn off power if it’s safe to do so, and wait for our plumbers to arrive. Protecting yourself and your family comes first — we’ll handle the rest.
