Emergency Plumbing
Water Damage Compounds by the Hour
A plumbing emergency is not like an appliance breaking. Water spreads, soaks into structure and drywall, and starts growing things — and the difference between a call at midnight and a call at eight the next morning is often the difference between a repair and a restoration project.
So we answer around the clock, and we charge the same for it. The first thing we will tell you on the phone is where your shut-off is, because stopping the water is worth more than anything we can do in the next hour.

How It Works
What an Emergency Plumbing Call Looks Like
No mystery, no pressure. You know the price before we pick up a tool.
-
You Call, We Schedule
Tell us what the system is doing. We book the soonest window that works for you — including nights and weekends, with no after-hours surcharge.
-
We Diagnose the Real Cause
A licensed technician tests the system rather than guessing from the symptom, so you are not paying to replace parts that were never the problem.
-
You Approve the Price First
We explain what failed, what it takes to fix it, and what it costs. Nothing gets done until you say go.
-
We Repair and Verify
Most repairs are finished on the first visit from parts already on the truck. We test the system before we leave and back the work in writing.

Emergency Plumbing — Common Questions
Can Pipes Be Repaired After a Burst?
Why a Burst Pipe Doesn’t Always Mean a Full Replacement
In many cases, a burst pipe can be repaired without replacing the entire plumbing line. The right solution depends on where the pipe is located, how severe the break is, and what caused it to burst in the first place. For example, a small crack or split in an accessible section of pipe can often be repaired by replacing just that section. In Fredericksburg and throughout the Texas Hill Country, older homes may have pipes made from materials that are more prone to corrosion or freezing damage. If a pipe has burst due to age, repeated stress, or widespread deterioration, a larger section—or even a full line—may need to be replaced to prevent future failures. At 72 Degrees Air Conditioning, Heating, and Plumbing, our plumbers assess the cause and location of the burst and use professional-grade tools and fittings to restore the system safely and reliably.

At 72 Degrees Texas, we prioritize prompt response for plumbing emergencies. Our 24/7 plumbers are committed to arriving quickly in Fredericksburg, Kerrville, and nearby areas to minimize damage and restore functionality. Contact us anytime, day or night.
What should I do while waiting for an emergency plumber?
Turn off your main water supply to stop further damage, and use towels or buckets to contain water if possible. Contact 72 Degrees Texas right away, and our expert emergency plumbers will arrive promptly to resolve the issue.
