A square pit dug in a lawn with a shovel lying beside it and a pipe end visible at the bottom. — A yard repair starts with a pit like this one, so say where you see the problem when you call.

Water is running and you cannot stop it: what to do before you call

Every minute of running water adds to the repair and the cleanup. These five steps are safe for most homeowners and take about five minutes.

Shut the main valve where the water line enters the house. Turn a round handle clockwise until it stops, or turn a lever handle a quarter turn so it sits across the pipe.
Open one faucet at the lowest point in the house. That drains the pipes and takes pressure off the break.
If the leak is at the water heater, turn off its power at the breaker or set its gas control to off. A tank that keeps heating with no water can burn out.
Move electronics, rugs and boxes out of the water's path, and take photos of the damage before cleanup. You will want them for an insurance claim.
If you cannot find a working shutoff on your side of the meter, call the City of Greenville water department and tell them a line is flowing.

A gas smell is different. Leave the house, then call 911 and the gas utility from outside. Do not call a plumber first, and do not flip switches on the way out.

Low pressure or no water: is it your pipe or the city's main?

Trouble that starts at the street is not a plumber's job. In July 2024 a main under Washington Street failed and the City of Greenville issued a boil water notice that was still in effect two days later, according to local radio coverage. In September 2023, two main breaks cut service across northeast Greenville for about two days.

Before you pay for a leak call, run three quick checks. Ask a neighbor whether their water is also low. Look for a notice from the city. Then read your water meter with every tap and appliance off.

If the small dial on the meter keeps moving with everything off, water is escaping somewhere past the meter. A still dial is good news only for the moment. It cannot rule out a slow leak that opens up only when a fixture is in use.

A plumber can repair what sits on your side of the meter, and a break in the street main is the city's to fix. If you need the source found, this page on finding a hidden leak explains what to ask for in a leak assessment.

What to ask a plumber before any work starts

The city and the state both set rules for plumbing work. A few questions up front keep a repair from turning into a dispute, so ask them when you call and again at the door.

Does this job need a city permit, and who pulls it? The City of Greenville lists plumbing among the permits handled by its Permits and Inspections office, and contractors register with that office. Call (903) 457-3100 to confirm a specific job before work starts.
Can I see the plumber's Texas license details before work begins? The Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners offers a public license search, and its site explains how to file a complaint.
What is in the written scope, and what would change it? A new line that was not in the first description should arrive with an explanation.
If digging is involved, has 811 been called? Texas requires a call two business days before digging, and that applies to homeowners too. See Texas811.
Who stands behind the work? Whoever does the work should put the warranty terms in writing, covering parts and labor separately.

Questions Greenville homeowners ask before they call

What should I do first if a pipe bursts in my house?

Shut the main valve where the water line enters the house, then open one faucet at the lowest point to drain the pipes. If the leak is at the water heater, turn off its power or gas control. Move belongings out of the water's path, take photos, and call. If you cannot find a working shutoff on your side of the meter, call the City of Greenville water department.

What does a boil water notice mean for my home plumbing?

A boil water notice comes from the water utility and concerns the public supply. It does not mean your home's pipes have failed. Follow the city's instructions for drinking and cooking. Call a plumber only if you also find a leak or the pressure problem is limited to your house.

How can I tell whether low water pressure is my plumbing or the city's?

Ask a neighbor whether their water is also low, look for a notice from the city, and read your water meter with every tap and appliance off. A meter that keeps moving points to a leak past the meter. A still meter does not rule out a slow leak, so a plumber can still help if the problem is only in your house.

How do I check a plumber's Texas license?

The Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners runs a public license search on its website, and the same site explains how to file a complaint. Ask the plumber for license details before work begins and compare them with the search results.

Does plumbing work in Greenville need a permit?

The City of Greenville lists plumbing among the permit types handled by its Permits and Inspections office, and contractors register with that office. Whether a particular job needs a permit is best confirmed with the office at (903) 457-3100 or by asking the plumber, who would be the one to pull it.

Does this phone line cover my ZIP code?

The ZIP codes shown on this page are 75401, 75402 and 75404. Call with your ZIP code or street address and the person who answers will confirm it. A call puts you on a plumber's schedule and does not promise an arrival time.
