Emergency Plumbing near Owenwood Park in Dallas

The Owenwood neighborhood sits in East Dallas, not far from Fair Park. Craftsman homes and bungalows line streets like Reynolds Avenue, Kinmore Street and Jerome Street. Most went up between the 1920s and 1940s.

We provide emergency plumbing in Dallas, TX, for homes and rentals across Owenwood. When a pipe bursts in a 90-year-old home, your first job is stopping the water. In many older Dallas homes, that shutoff is buried in the yard.

We’re bringing 50 years of Berkeys expertise to Dallas from our Belmont Avenue location. Real people answer our phones 24/7, including holidays. Call us to check availability for your home.

Whether you own a 1920s Craftsman or rent a duplex on Jerome Street, these problems call for an emergency plumber:

• A burst pipe spraying or spreading water

• A sewer backup in a tub, shower or floor drain

• A toilet overflowing that won’t stop

• A water heater leaking or bursting

• A hidden leak showing up as damp floors or walls

Older sewer lines in Owenwood can back up without much warning. If you smell gas, leave the home and call 911 from outside.

Stopping the water is your first move in any burst-pipe emergency. Most Dallas homes have a private cut-off valve, and the City of Dallas says it usually sits in one of these spots:

• Near an outside faucet, close to the house

• Near the irrigation valve by the property line, if you have sprinklers

• Buried in the yard in older homes, with an iron handle shaped like an upside-down “L”

In an Owenwood home from the 1920s or 1930s, check for that buried “L” handle. Turning it stops the water to the house. Find your valve now, before an emergency.

If your home has no private shutoff, the city suggests adding one. We can help with that. You can see all of our plumbing services for Dallas homes in one place.

Can’t find your shutoff? Call us 24/7.

Sometimes you can’t find your valve, or it won’t turn. Dallas Water Utilities can turn off water at the meter 24 hours a day when you call 311. The City of Dallas explains this on its emergency services page.

City problems go to 311 too, such as a water main break or a leaking meter. For leaks inside your home or on your side of the meter, call us. We’ll find the problem and fix it.
