Emergency Plumber in Kingwood, Porter & Atascocita — Brazos Home Services

When plumbing fails in the middle of the night, we don’t wait until morning. Brazos Home Services provides after-hours emergency plumbing in Kingwood, Atascocita, Porter, and nearby neighborhoods — when possible. Because we’re a small, local, family-run company, availability can vary depending on ongoing calls, but you should call anyway — we’ll do our best to help.

  • We install and repair both traditional tank and tankless water heaters. Whether your water heater is leaking, struggling to keep up, or due for a replacement, we’ll ensure you always have reliable hot water.

  • Don’t let a hidden leak damage your home. We specialize in finding and repairing leaks quickly, from small drips to major slab leaks — saving you from costly repairs down the road.

  • Clogged drains and sewer backups are more than an inconvenience. We provide professional drain cleaning and use camera inspections to locate and fix deeper problems in your sewer line.

  • Need a new gas line for a stove, generator, fire pit, or grill? We install and repair gas lines safely, handling permits and inspections so you have peace of mind.

  • Many Atascocita homes were built with galvanized steel pipes that corrode over time. We replace outdated plumbing with durable PEX piping, improving water pressure, quality, and long-term reliability.

Emergency Service Hours & Availability

  • Monday–Friday (after hours): We respond to emergency calls overnight, outside of standard business hours.

  • Saturday: Our last emergency dispatch is at 5:00 PM.

  • Sunday: We are closed (faith-first, family-rest day).

  • Note: We don’t guarantee immediate response — if we’re already on another job, we’ll schedule the next available dispatch.

We recommend calling immediately in an emergency; even if we can’t come instantly, we can help you mitigate damage over the phone.

How We Charge for Emergency / After-Hours Work

Emergency work is different from daytime calls. Because we’re working outside of normal hours — often under pressure, with faster turnaround and less downtime — we apply an after-hours surcharge. The amount depends on:

  • Time of night (very late vs. early evening)

  • Type of issue (burst pipes, gas leaks, slab leaks, etc.)

  • Location & access difficulty

  • Materials & parts required on the spot

Our Policy:

  • The minimum charge for any after-hours or emergency service call is $400.

  • This is not the final price — it’s the starting point to roll a truck after hours.

  • The final flat rate is set once we fully diagnose the problem.

  • If you approve the repair or replacement, the emergency/diagnostic fee is credited toward your total cost.

Industry Standards (Houston area, 2025):

  • Normal plumbing calls: $150/hr (Not incl. Materials) during business hours

  • Emergency/overnight/weekend surcharge: 1.5× to 2× the base rate (sometimes higher in peak demand)

With Brazos, you skip the open-ended hourly billing. We’re upfront: you know the minimum before we arrive, and you’ll only pay a flat rate once the full scope of work is clear.


Common Questions About Emergency Plumbing

Q: What qualifies as an emergency?
A: Burst pipes, slab leaks, gas line leaks, severe flooding, or any plumbing issue threatening structural damage are emergencies. Drips or minor clogs generally wait until morning unless they worsen.

Q: Do you do free emergency estimates?
A: No. Because emergency calls require rapid dispatch and specialized response, we do not offer free estimates for after-hours visits. We quote based on what we find.

Q: Will you give me a quote over the phone?
A: We can sometimes estimate a base range if you describe the issue, but final cost depends on inspection.

Q: Do you guarantee you’ll arrive right away in emergencies?
A: We try, but we may be on another call. We’ll schedule the soonest possible time and walk you through temporary fixes to reduce risk.

Q: What if I approve the repair later?
A: Any emergency/diagnostic fees are credited toward the full repair or replacement cost if you approve service.
