Emergency Plumber in Tyler, TX

Hester Plumbing dispatches a licensed plumber to your Tyler, TX location within 60 minutes of your call, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our plumbers live in the Tyler and East Texas area, so response times are often faster during daytime hours.

A plumbing emergency is any situation that could cause significant property damage, health hazards, or loss of essential services if not addressed immediately. Common emergencies include burst or frozen pipes, active water leaks flooding your home, sewer backups with raw sewage, gas leaks (leave immediately and call), complete loss of water, and overflowing toilets that cannot be stopped with the shutoff valve.

We provide upfront pricing for all emergency work before we begin. While emergency calls may carry a different rate than scheduled service, we will tell you exactly what the job costs before we pick up a wrench. There are no hidden after-hours surcharges or surprise fees on your final bill.

For water emergencies: shut off the main water supply valve (usually near the water meter or where the main line enters your home). For gas leaks: evacuate your home immediately, do not flip any light switches, and call 911 first, then call us. For sewer backups: stop using all water fixtures and do not attempt to use chemical drain cleaners. We will walk you through specific steps when you call.

Yes. While Tyler does not experience extreme cold frequently, winter freezes do happen and exposed pipes in crawl spaces, exterior walls, and unheated garages are vulnerable. We thaw frozen pipes safely and repair any that have burst. We also offer pipe insulation services to prevent future freeze damage.
