Leak Detection
A jump in the water bill or a damp spot with no visible source needs the leak located before any cutting.
Leak DetectionSeguin's older streets around the courthouse square hold a lot of pre-war housing, and the plumbing behind those walls tells its own story. San Marcos Emergency Plumber works on original cast iron and galvanized pipe as well as newer construction.

A jump in the water bill or a damp spot with no visible source needs the leak located before any cutting.
Leak Detection
When every drain in the house backs up at once, the problem is the main line, not the fixture.
Sewer Line Repair
Running toilets, dripping faucets and leaks under the vanity waste water and damage cabinets.
Toilet & Faucet RepairGalvanized supply pipe corrodes from the inside, narrowing until pressure drops at the far end of the house, then failing at pinholes. If your pressure has dropped everywhere rather than at one tap, the pipe itself is usually the answer and patching a single section will not change much.
On the drain side, the original cast iron in these houses scales and cracks along the bottom of the pipe. The symptom is a line that blocks again a few weeks after each clearing. A camera run shows whether you are buying maintenance or a repair. Large pecan trees are part of Seguin's character and also part of the reason roots find sewer laterals here.
If previous owners repiped part of the house, say so. Mixed materials change where failures show up.
An accessible cleanout means the line is often cleared from outside without disturbing the house.
Tell us about original tile, plaster or wood floors near the work area so access is planned around them.
For galvanized supply, the choice is between chasing pinholes and replacing a run. For cast-iron drains, the camera decides: a clean but scaled pipe can be maintained, a cracked or separated one cannot.
Before the visit, it is worth reading water heater repair versus replacement if hot water is the complaint, and how a service call works so you know what to expect at the door.

It tracks the diagnosis rather than a price list — pipe material, access and the number of affected fixtures all move it. San Marcos Emergency Plumber quotes upfront at the property. The service pages explain what each job covers.
San Marcos Emergency Plumber answers Seguin calls 24 hours a day. Shut the main off at the meter box, then call and describe where the water is showing. Burst pipe repair has the first steps.
Most days, yes. Availability and parts decide it, and older-home work occasionally needs a fitting that is not standard truck stock. San Marcos Emergency Plumber will say so when you call. Request a visit here.
It is easy to damage thin, scaled cast iron with the wrong tool or too much force, and a hole in a waste line is a much bigger problem than a clog. Leave it to a professional — see drain cleaning.
If the tank is intact and a component failed, repair. If it is rusting, leaking from the body or well past its expected life, replace. The comparison page lists the questions to ask.
Roots go wherever water escapes, so a hairline crack in a lateral under a mature tree becomes a root mass in a season or two. Clearing helps now; repair stops the cycle. See sewer line repair.
Tell us the address, what is failing and what you have already shut off.
