Water on the floor, no hot water, a drain that won’t clear. If you’re searching for a Plumber in Fort Worth, you probably want two things: the right fix, and someone you can trust to do it. Xtreme Air Services is a family-owned and operated HVAC, plumbing, and electrical contractor serving homeowners and businesses across Fort Worth and the greater DFW Metroplex.
Our job is simple. We help you match the right plumbing fix to the right problem, from slab leaks tied to Fort Worth’s clay soil to pipes that burst during a winter freeze. Most homes here sit on slab-on-grade foundations, which means the house rests on a concrete slab poured right on the ground. When the clay under that slab swells and shrinks, the pipes in and under it take the stress. So slab leaks and sewer line damage show up here more than in a lot of other places.
Below, each service is explained in plain English. Read the one that fits your issue, then follow the link for full details.
Our licensed, background-checked technicians answer the phone around the clock and get to you the same day. Call Xtreme Air Services and tell us what’s going on.
Emergency Plumbing Covers Sudden Fort Worth Plumbing Failures
It’s 2 a.m. and water is spreading across your kitchen floor. That’s an emergency, and it shouldn’t wait for business hours. Emergency plumbing is for problems that are causing damage right now or that leave your home without a working system.
These are the problems we treat as plumbing emergencies:
- Water actively flooding a room or coming through a ceiling
- No water to the whole house
- Sewage backing up into tubs, showers, or floor drains
- A water heater leaking fast from the tank
When you call, a technician gets to you the same day. The first step is stopping the damage, usually by shutting off water to the problem area. Then we find the cause and fix it so you aren’t calling again next week.
Winter freezes are the classic trigger here. A hard freeze doesn’t hit Fort Worth often. When one does, pipes in attics, exterior walls, and garages can fail all at once, and emergency calls climb fast.
Before help arrives, the most useful thing you can do is find your main shutoff valve. It’s often in a box near the curb with your water meter, or where the water line enters the house. Knowing where it is can save you a lot of cleanup. See the full details on our Emergency Plumbing in Fort Worth page.
Water Heater Repair Fixes Units Before Full Replacement Is Needed
No hot water this morning? Before you shop for a new tank, find out what went wrong. Water heater repair is for an existing unit that’s acting up. Water heater installation is for a new unit going in, whether it’s a tank or a tankless model. A lot of problems turn out to be repair jobs.
Common fixes include a pilot light that won’t stay lit on a gas unit, a burned-out heating element on an electric unit, a bad thermostat, or a leaking valve. Popping or rumbling sounds usually point to sediment, the mineral buildup that settles at the bottom of the tank. Depending on how far it’s gone, flushing the tank can help.
Our technician checks the unit first and tells you plainly what’s wrong. If a repair will do the job, that’s what we’ll recommend. If the tank itself is leaking or rusting through, a repair usually isn’t worth the money, and we’ll tell you that too.
I think this is the step most people skip. They assume a cold shower means a dead water heater, when sometimes the cause is one worn part. Getting the unit checked first keeps the decision in your hands. Learn more on our Water Heater Repair in Fort Worth page.

Water Heater Installation Sets Up a New Unit for Reliable Hot Water
Water heater installation means removing your old unit, if you have one, and putting in a new one that’s set up correctly from the water lines to the venting. This section covers standard tank-style water heaters. Tankless water heater installation and gas water heater installation are separate services with their own setup needs, such as different venting or gas line sizing.
Size matters more than people expect. A tank that’s too small leaves the last person in line with a cold shower. A tank that’s too big heats water you’ll never use. Our technician looks at how many people live in your home, how many bathrooms you have, and how your household uses hot water. Then we size the unit to fit.
Installation also covers the parts that keep the unit safe. One of them is the temperature and pressure relief valve, which lets off pressure if the tank gets too hot. We also make the water connections properly and add a drain pan where one is needed. On gas units, connecting the gas line to the water heater is part of the job.
The goal is the same for a replacement or for new construction. Hot water that shows up when you need it, done right the first time. Get the full rundown on our Water Heater Installation in Fort Worth page.
Drain Cleaning Clears Slow and Clogged Fixture Lines
Drain cleaning isn’t the same as rooter service or hydro jetting, and knowing the difference can save you time. Drain cleaning targets one fixture line, such as a single slow sink, tub, or shower. Rooter service and hydro jetting handle tougher blockages or blockages along a whole line, often out in the sewer line.
So how do you tell which one you need? Count your slow drains. If only the bathroom sink is slow, the clog is probably close to that fixture, and hair, soap scum, or grease is usually the cause. If every drain in the house is slow, or a toilet gurgles when the washer drains, the problem is probably farther down the line.
Our technician clears the blockage with the method that fits where the clog sits and how bad it is. Most single-fixture clogs come out with a hand or machine drain snake. We’ll also tell you what caused the clog so you can keep it from coming back.
One plain tip: store-bought drain chemicals can be rough on older pipes, so call before you pour a second bottle. Get the details on our Drain Cleaning in Fort Worth page.

Sewer Line Repair Addresses Damage Between House and Main
Many of Fort Worth’s older homes still have their original sewer lines. In early 1900s and mid-century neighborhoods near the center of town, such as Fairmount and Arlington Heights, those lines are often clay or cast iron. Tree roots can push into clay pipe at the joints. Cast iron rusts and cracks from the inside over many decades.
Sewer line repair fixes the pipe that runs from your house to the city’s main line. These are signs it’s time to call:
- Sewage smells in the yard or inside the house
- Backups that keep returning after the line is cleared
- Soggy or unusually green patches in the yard
- Several drains backing up at the same time
Our technicians find the damaged section first, often by running a camera down the line. Then they repair it. Trenchless sewer repair is one way to make that fix with less digging. It’s a repair method, not a different problem. Instead of trenching across your yard, we work through small access points and repair or replace the pipe underground.
Trenchless repair doesn’t fit every line. It depends on the pipe’s condition and layout, and we’ll walk you through the options. Full details are on our Sewer Line Repair in Fort Worth page.

Slab Leak Repair Stops Water Loss Under the Foundation
Your water bill jumped, and nobody in the house changed a thing. Maybe there’s a warm spot on the tile, or you hear water running when every tap is off. Those are classic signs of a slab leak, which is a leak in a water line under your concrete foundation.
Fort Worth sits on expansive clay soil. It swells when it’s wet and shrinks when it dries out. That movement puts real stress on the pipes in and under a slab-on-grade home, and it’s one of the main reasons slab leaks are so common across North Texas.
Slab leak repair comes after slab leak detection. Detection finds the leak, and repair fixes it. Once we know the exact spot, our technicians reach the line with as little disruption to your slab and floors as possible. Depending on the pipe and where the leak is, that can mean opening a small section of floor, tunneling in from outside, or rerouting the line around the slab. Then we restore the damaged line and test it.
Call sooner rather than later, because a slow slab leak can soak the soil under your foundation for months before you see any sign. See our Slab Leak Repair in Fort Worth page for more.

Burst Pipe Repair Stops Active Water Damage Fast
Burst pipe repair handles a pipe that has fully failed, not one that’s slowly dripping. That’s what separates it from plumbing pipe repair, which covers slower damage like corrosion or cracks. A burst pipe means water is pouring out right now, often a lot of it.
The first move is always to shut off the water. Our technician stops the source, finds the failed section, and repairs or replaces it. Then we check the lines nearby. A pipe that froze and split usually wasn’t the only one exposed to the cold.
In Fort Worth, burst pipes tend to come in waves. For most of the year they’re rare. Then a hard freeze rolls through North Texas, and calls spike over a few days. Pipes in attics, exterior walls, and unheated garages take the hit first. Sometimes the break doesn’t show until the pipe thaws and water starts flowing again.
If a freeze is in the forecast, a few small steps help. Let faucets on outside walls drip, open the cabinet doors under your sinks, and cover your outdoor faucets.
And if a pipe does burst, call us, and a technician will get to you the same day. Read more on our Burst Pipe Repair in Fort Worth page.

Gas Leak Detection Finds Dangerous Leaks in Supply Lines
If you smell gas in your home, step outside first and make the call from there. Natural gas has an added odor, like rotten eggs, so you’ll notice a leak. Don’t flip switches or light anything on your way out. If the smell is strong, call your gas company or 911 from outside.
Gas leak detection finds where a leak is coming from. Our technicians check the gas supply lines that run to your appliances and fixtures, such as your water heater, range, dryer, or outdoor grill line. We use gas detectors and pressure testing to find the source, and we confirm it’s safe before any work moves forward.
This service covers supply lines. Furnace combustion problems, like a burner that won’t light properly, belong with our HVAC gas furnace service.
Once we find the leak, fixing it is gas line repair, which is a separate service. Sometimes the cause is a loose fitting. Other times, a section of line needs replacing.
If you aren’t sure that faint smell is real, call anyway. We’d much rather check and find nothing. See our Gas Leak Detection in Fort Worth page for details.
Toilet Repair Fixes Leaks, Clogs, and Running Toilets
That faint hiss from the bathroom at night usually means a toilet won’t stop running. It’s easy to ignore, but it wastes a surprising amount of water over a month.
Toilet repair fixes the toilet you already have. Toilet installation covers putting in a new one. Most everyday toilet problems are repair jobs:
- Constant running from a worn flapper or fill valve
- Water at the base from a failed wax seal, the ring that seals the toilet to the floor drain
- Weak flushes or clogs that keep coming back
- A loose or rocking toilet
Our technician finds the part that’s causing the problem and repairs or replaces it on the spot. A leak at the base needs quick attention, because water can seep into the subfloor before a stain ever shows. If clogs keep coming back, we’ll also check whether the trouble is farther down the drain line.
If the bowl or tank is cracked, a repair stops making sense and a new toilet is the better choice. We’ll tell you straight. Find more on our Toilet Repair in Fort Worth page.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Plumber
How fast can a plumber get to my home in Fort Worth?
Our technicians answer the phone around the clock and get to you the same day. For active emergencies like flooding or sewage backup, call right away so we can stop the damage first. Knowing where your main shutoff valve is while you wait can save you a lot of cleanup.
Why do Fort Worth homes have so many slab leaks and sewer line issues?
Most Fort Worth homes sit on slab-on-grade foundations, which rest directly on the ground. Our clay soil swells and shrinks with moisture changes, putting stress on pipes under the slab. That movement is why slab leaks and sewer line damage show up more here than in many other areas.
How do I know if I need emergency plumbing or regular repair?
If water is actively flooding, sewage is backing up, or your whole house has no water, that’s an emergency and shouldn’t wait. If you have a slow drain or a water heater acting up but still working, that’s usually a standard repair call. When in doubt, call and describe what’s happening.
Should I repair my water heater or replace it?
It depends on what’s wrong. A pilot light issue, bad thermostat, or sediment buildup is often a simple repair. If the tank itself is leaking or rusting through, replacement makes more sense. A technician should check the unit first instead of assuming it needs full replacement.
What’s the difference between drain cleaning and rooter service?
Drain cleaning targets one slow fixture, like a single sink or tub. Rooter service and hydro jetting handle tougher blockages along a whole line, often in the main sewer line. If only one fixture is slow, it’s likely a drain cleaning job rather than a whole-line problem.
Do winter freezes really cause plumbing emergencies in Fort Worth?
Yes, hard freezes are a common trigger for burst pipes here, even though they don’t happen often. Pipes in attics, exterior walls, and garages can fail all at once during a freeze, which is why emergency calls climb fast when temperatures drop hard.
