Water doesn't wait. When a supply line lets go behind a Travisso kitchen wall at 2 AM, or a sewer main backs up into the shower on Christmas Day, you need a licensed plumber picking up the phone — not a call center in another state. Crystal Falls Plumbing runs a true 24-hour dispatch: nights, weekends, holidays, ice storms. A working plumber answers, coaches you through the shut-off, and rolls a truck.
We hold a 60-minute average response target inside Leander, Cedar Park, Liberty Hill, and Georgetown, and 90 minutes across the rest of Williamson County. Our trucks carry the parts needed to stop 90% of residential emergencies in one visit — SharkBite fittings, PEX, copper stubs, tank heaters, wax rings, drain cables, and a full electronic leak-detection kit.
What Counts As a Plumbing Emergency
If any of these are happening right now, stop reading and call. Every minute of running water is real damage.
- Burst pipe or supply line spraying water
- Sewage backing up through a drain or toilet
- No water anywhere in the house
- Water heater actively leaking on the garage floor
- Gas smell or hissing near an appliance
- Toilet overflowing that won't stop with the shut-off
- Slab leak: hot spot on the floor + high water bill
How Our Emergency Dispatch Works
- 1. Live Phone Coaching
The plumber on the phone tells you exactly how to shut off water or gas to stop damage before we arrive.
- 2. Dispatch
The nearest technician is dispatched immediately with the parts common for your reported symptom.
- 3. On-Site Stabilization
We stop the water or gas, contain the damage, and give you a written repair quote before starting billable work.
- 4. Complete or Return
Most emergencies are fully resolved on the first visit. When larger work is needed, we stabilize now and schedule the full repair within 24–48 hours.
What an Emergency Plumbing Call Actually Looks Like
- 24/7 phone answer by a licensed plumber — not a call-center scheduler taking a message for morning callback
- Phone triage while a truck rolls: we walk you through the safest shut-off, confirm whether sewage, gas, or electrical hazards are involved, and coach the first 10 minutes of damage control
- Live text with the technician's name, photo, and ETA the moment we dispatch
- After-hours surcharge disclosed on the phone before we roll a truck — never a surprise on the invoice
- On-site diagnosis, flat-rate written quote, and immediate stabilization (shutoffs, temporary caps, pressure isolation) so damage stops even if the full repair waits for parts
- Coordination with a restoration contractor if the water damage requires extraction and drying — we own the plumbing repair, they own the drywall and floors
What Affects the Price
Emergency pricing is priced flat-rate by task, plus an after-hours dispatch fee that is quoted before we start.

- 2Type of failure: repair vs. temporary stabilization
- 3Parts required for a one-visit fix
- 4Water extraction or damage containment on-site

Serving Leander & Williamson County
The lessons of Winter Storm Uri (February 2021) still shape how we run emergency dispatch in Central Texas. During Uri we ran 96 hours straight without shutting down; today we keep a winter surge fleet, a 500-gallon PEX stockpile, and a partnership with a local water-damage restoration company so a Leander family isn't waiting weeks to dry out. When freeze warnings hit, our booking window fills within hours — call early.
Why Leander Chooses Us for 24/7 Emergencies
The wrong answer at 3 AM is voicemail. Every emergency call to our number is picked up by a licensed plumber who can start solving the problem on the phone.
- Real 24/7 dispatch — a licensed plumber answers the phone, not a national call center
- 60-minute average response inside Leander, Cedar Park, Liberty Hill, and Georgetown; 90-minute response across the rest of Williamson County
- After-hours surcharge disclosed on the phone before dispatch — no surprise on the bill
