Tony's Plumbing triages Waller County calls by severity so the worst hazards move first when technicians are available.
Shutoff steps before we arrive
If you can safely reach the main shutoff, turn it off and open a faucet to relieve pressure. Move belongings off wet floors. Do not use electrical switches in standing water.
When you call (832) 890-8449, tell us whether water is still flowing—that changes dispatch urgency more than the neighborhood name alone.
After-hours expectations
Emergency calls are welcome; arrival depends on tech availability across the US 290 corridor. You may get temporary shutoff guidance while someone is en route.
Stabilizing the hazard comes before perfect cosmetic repair. We explain after-hours pricing when it applies—no surprise invoices after the flood is stopped.
From temporary stop to permitted repair
City of Waller versus county ETJ changes how permanent gas and sewer repairs get permitted. We confirm jurisdiction after the emergency is controlled so the lasting fix passes the right inspection desk.
