Know When to Call
Is Your Plumbing Problem an Emergency?
A dripping faucet can usually wait for a scheduled visit. Water spreading through your home, sewage coming through a drain, or a pipe that will not stop leaking is different. When a plumbing problem threatens your property, sanitation, or safety, getting professional help becomes much more urgent.
Severe Clogs & Backups
Multiple affected fixtures or water returning through a drain can signal a deeper blockage. Stop using affected fixtures until the problem is evaluated. Our drain cleaning services address stubborn drainage problems.
Sewage Entering the Home
Keep people and pets away from wastewater and avoid using affected plumbing. Problems involving the main line may require sewer line repair .
Sudden Water Heater Problems
Significant leaking or water collecting around the unit should not be ignored. Stop using equipment that appears unsafe and explore our water heater services .
Before Help Arrives
What to Do During a Plumbing Emergency
Your first priority is limiting damage without putting yourself at risk. If you can safely do so, take these steps while arranging professional plumbing service.
- Shut off the affected fixture's water supply or the home's main water valve when necessary.
- Stop using fixtures and appliances connected to a backed-up drain or sewer line.
- Keep children and pets away from sewage, standing water, and damaged plumbing.
- Move belongings away from leaking water when you can reach them safely.
Important: If water is near electrical wiring, outlets, appliances, or an energized electrical panel, do not enter the affected area or touch the water. Seek appropriate emergency help when there is an immediate electrical, fire, gas, or personal-safety hazard.

Plumbing Problems We Can Diagnose and Repair
Urgent plumbing problems do not always reveal their source right away. Water on the floor might come from a damaged pipe, fixture, appliance connection, or water heater. Likewise, a backed-up toilet could indicate a local clog or trouble farther down the plumbing system.
Rub-A-Dub Plumbing evaluates the problem before recommending a repair. We explain what we find and discuss the appropriate options so you can make an informed decision.

Emergency Plumbing FAQs
Questions About Urgent Plumbing Problems
Knowing what to do during a plumbing problem can help you protect your home while you arrange professional service.
What is considered a plumbing emergency?
Problems that threaten property, sanitation, or safety generally require more urgent attention. Examples include uncontrolled leaks, burst pipes, sewage entering the home, severe backups, overflowing fixtures that cannot be controlled, and significant water-heater leaks.
What should I do first if a pipe bursts?
If you can reach the home's main water shutoff safely, turn off the water to limit additional leaking. Keep clear of water near electrical equipment, move belongings away from the affected area when safe, and contact a plumber.
Should I keep using my plumbing if sewage is backing up?
No. Stop using fixtures connected to the affected drainage system because additional wastewater can worsen the backup. Keep people and pets away from contaminated areas and arrange professional evaluation.
Is a clogged drain always an emergency?
Not necessarily. A single slow drain may be suitable for a scheduled service visit. However, several backed-up fixtures, wastewater returning through drains, or a blockage preventing essential plumbing use can indicate a more serious problem.
What if my water heater is leaking?
Significant leaking should be addressed promptly because water can damage the surrounding area. Avoid operating equipment that appears unsafe. A plumber can determine whether the problem can be repaired or whether another solution is appropriate.
Will I know the price before the repair begins?
Rub-A-Dub emphasizes upfront pricing. After evaluating the plumbing problem, the plumber can explain the recommended work and associated pricing before you approve the repair.
Does Rub-A-Dub serve areas outside Tyler?
Yes. Rub-A-Dub serves Tyler and surrounding East Texas communities. Because service coverage can vary by location, call to confirm availability for your address when scheduling.
