What Are Common Plumbing Emergencies?
Oftentimes, Richardson homeowners may believe that their plumbing issue counts as an emergency because they want the problem fixed as soon as possible. However, some of these plumbing problems fit better under a different service area, and are not emergencies.
Below are some examples of both plumbing emergencies, as well as normal plumbing services that do not require immediate attention:
Emergencies (these need to be taken care of immediately):
- Clogged main sewer line pipe, resulting in raw sewage backflow
- Flooding
- Burst pipes
- Major leaks
Normal Services (these can wait a little):

How Much Do Emergency Plumbing Services Cost?
If it is a true plumbing emergency in Richardson and not an ordinary service that a customer thinks might be an emergency, then the price tends to be $50 to $125 per hour. This is because a plumber typically must cancel some less important appointments, or move their schedule around last minute to accommodate and get to your residence as soon as possible. However, the upside is that in emergency plumbing situations, you can rest easy knowing that any issue you are dealing with should be resolved by the end of the day.

Honest, upfront, and as professional as they come. I will be using Texas Green anytime I have an issue that requires a plumbing company and highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for honest and caring professionals.

Could not have had a better experience with Texas Green Plumbing. Eli and Terry came out to look at an issue we were having with a sink/faucet. Literally the nicest people and we will definitely be requesting them specifically from now on. We have never had a negative experience with this company and would recommend them to anyone.

Amber was amazing and helpful setting me up, the Techs (Kyle & Josh) were very professional, and importantly the fees cost/labor were much more reasonable compared to others I have spoken to.
Highly recommend!Dau N. -
Awesome response time. I called them one morning due to a backed up shower drain causing that occurred the day we were scheduled to leave on vacation and they were able to get someone available within hours so we didn’t have to cancel our plans.

This is a great company to use. They worked around my schedule as I work from home. The plumber communicated with us what he did and he was super professional. Unfortunately I did not get his name, but he was awesome. Also, a shoutout to Amber at the office. She is so kind. She called me letting me know when they were coming and answered my questions when I called in.

Aaron and Michael did a fantastic job and were very professional! The team did a bang up job explaining the process and why the solution they recommended was the best choice. They were efficient and worked diligently to get the job done and minimize water being turned off to the house. Thank you!

I had 2 sinks with drainage problems in my new home. Upstairs bathroom sink just needed the seal reset. The kitchen sink had several leaks and they gave me several options for repairs at each point. They also figured out the drainage problem as being a grease clog. I have several fans set up to help deal with the smell, but now the sink drains and there are no more leaks!

We have used Texas Green Plumbing in the past to fix our hot water heaters and they were fantastic. The entire process took less than 15 minutes. He saved me so much time and money!

I went on YouTube to see if I can get an understanding of why there could be water in my outside meter box and found a video by Mr. Roger. The City said it was my responsibility so I decided to call TGP the next day. Amber and Aaron were polite and professional. The leak was fixed just in time before all the rain we received this week. The cost seemed reasonable. Thank you so much.
