Things you can safely check before or while you wait

If it is safe to do so, you may:

- Check your breaker and reset it once if it has tripped. If it trips again immediately, leave it off and wait for service.
- Check your air filter and replace it if it is dirty. Then monitor performance for a couple of hours.
- If your thermostat display is off, check the indoor unit disconnect (often a switch near the indoor unit) to ensure it was not turned off accidentally.

If you see ice on the equipment or refrigerant lines or there is a water leak, turn the system off and wait for the technician. Severe icing must thaw before proper service can be performed.

Emergency plumbing service in Austin, Texas

Efficient AC, Electric and Plumbing provides 24/7 emergency plumbing services for homeowners in Austin and the surrounding areas.

A burst pipe or sewage backup can cause major damage quickly. We focus on helping you stop the damage fast and then making a reliable repair.

What to do first in a plumbing emergency

- Shut off your main water valve

- The main shut-off is usually near the street or where the main line enters your home.
- Turning this off stops most active flooding while you wait for help.

- Call Efficient

- Call 512-501-2275 any time, day or night.
- You will reach a live team member. A licensed plumber will call you back quickly to assess the situation and talk you through immediate steps.

- For gas leaks

- If you smell gas (rotten egg or sulfur smell), leave the house immediately.
- Do not switch lights or appliances on or off and do not light anything.
- Call 911 or your gas utility from outside first. After the area is safe and the leak is controlled, call us to repair the gas line.

Common plumbing emergencies we handle

Call us for:

- Burst or leaking pipes.
- Sewage backing up into tubs, showers or drains.
- Leaking water heaters (especially those in attics or above finished spaces).
- Overflowing or severely clogged toilets.
- No water or no hot water in the home.
- Yard service line leaks causing water loss or very low pressure.
- Leaks you cannot shut off.

Our emergency plumbing process

- Phone triage – You reach a live team member. A licensed plumber calls back quickly to help you stabilize the situation and limit damage.
- On-site diagnosis – We locate the source of the problem and identify any underlying issues.
- Repair and cleanup – We explain the recommended repair, provide an upfront price, and proceed once you approve. We clean up the work area and verify that fixtures and systems are operating correctly before we leave.

Example emergency plumbing pricing (after hours)

After-hours and weekend emergency calls normally cost more than standard daytime service because a plumber responds immediately. You always receive an upfront, itemized quote before work begins.

Typical after-hours costs mentioned on our website include:

| Service | Typical after-hours cost* | |-------------------------------------------|---------------------------| | Service call (diagnosis) | $199 plus repair; repair rates are the same as regular business hours | | Clear a basic main sewer drain | Around $550 | | Clear a basic lavatory sink drain | Approximately $470–$550 | | Shut off water and correct a simple leak | Approximately $350–$400 | | Fix a more difficult leak (typical range) | Approximately $550–$600 and up |

\*These figures are examples taken from our website and are subject to change. The exact cost depends on the specific problem and materials required. The after-hours fee is included in the example totals above. During regular business hours, the service call fee may be waived when you proceed with the repair.

Why our after-hours pricing includes a service call fee

- Emergency calls include a $199 service call fee, which covers the plumber's overtime and on-call availability.
- Repair rates themselves are the same as during regular business hours; the fee reflects the additional cost of immediate, after-hours response.
- We pay our on-call plumbers for being available, whether they run one call or none in a given week.

Why homeowners choose Efficient in a plumbing emergency

- Licensed, background- and drug-screened plumbers you can trust in your home.
- Upfront, itemized pricing before work begins, with no hidden fees.
- Same repair rates after hours as during normal hours; the service-call fee covers overtime, not a markup on the repair.
- 1-year warranty on parts and labor for the repair.
- Financing options available on larger repairs.
- One company that can handle plumbing, AC and electrical issues, so you do not have to coordinate multiple contractors.

If you are unsure whether your situation is an emergency, shut off your main water valve if possible and call 512-501-2275. We can help you decide whether it needs immediate service.
