What to do right now
- Shut off the main water valve if water is spreading. It is usually where the water line enters the house, or at the meter box near the street.
- Turn off power to any outlets or appliances that water is reaching.
- If you smell gas, leave the house and call your gas utility or 911 from outside. Do not use switches or flames.

Plumbers we work with in McKinney
How we pick partner plumbers
We do not do plumbing work ourselves. Here is how we pick partner plumbers for McKinney homes.
- A partner must have an office in McKinney or list McKinney as an area it serves.
- Its website has to load, and the phone number must appear on the site.
The plumber gives you the quote. Whether to hire them is up to you.
Questions
Does the plumber set the charges for my McKinney job?
The plumber sets their own prices, including any trip or service fee. Ask for a quote before any work begins.
There is a gas smell near my water heater. What now?
Leave the house and take everyone with you. Skip light switches, phones and lighters inside. From a safe spot outside, call your gas utility or 911. Let them tell you when it is safe to go back.
Our McKinney pipes froze and nothing comes out of the tap. What should we do?
Leave the faucet open so water can flow as the pipe thaws. Open the cabinet doors under sinks to let warm air in. Next time, McKinney advises letting hot and cold water run a thin stream the width of a pencil lead. Source Never use an open flame on a pipe. If a pipe has split, shut off the main and call a plumber.
I live in Trinity Falls. What should I know before an emergency?
McKinney's Trinity Falls District reflects the development planned for the Trinity Falls Municipal Utility District. Source Your water bill shows who runs your water service. Keep that number with your main valve location, in case a line breaks outside.
Do you charge homeowners?
No. This service is free for homeowners. Local plumbing companies pay us for verified requests.
Is this a plumbing company?
No. LeakBolt is an independent referral service. The plumber who contacts you does the work, quotes the price and is responsible for it.
