I think I have a slab leak. What should I do next?

If you suspect a slab leak in your home or property, fast action can help prevent structural damage and skyrocketing utility bills. Here’s what to do:

Check for warning signs: Common signs include unexplained water pooling, a sudden rise in your water bill, hot spots on the floor, or the sound of running water when fixtures are off. If you're unsure, it's better to be safe and call a professional.

Call Top Flow Plumbing: Contact us at (469) 807-3569 so we can perform professional leak detection using non-invasive tools like acoustic listening devices and pressure testing. We’ll locate the exact source of the leak without tearing up your floors.

My drain is backed up. What should I do?

A backed-up drain isn’t just inconvenient—it could be the sign of a deeper issue. Here’s how to handle it the right way:

Avoid Using Chemical Cleaners: Store-bought drain products often corrode your pipes and don’t solve the underlying problem. If multiple drains are slow or you smell foul odors, the problem could be in your main line.

Call Top Flow Plumbing: Reach us at (469) 807-3569 to schedule a drain inspection. We’ll use camera equipment and professional tools to locate the blockage without guesswork.

Clear the Line Correctly: Whether it’s hydro jetting, mechanical snaking, or a full main line cleaning, we’ll choose the safest and most effective solution based on your system.

Prevent Future Clogs: After service, we’ll give you tips to keep your pipes flowing freely, including routine maintenance options and proper disposal practices.

I don’t have hot water—what should I do?

Losing hot water can disrupt your entire day. Here’s how to get it resolved quickly:

Check the Basics First: For electric water heaters, ensure the breaker hasn’t tripped. For gas heaters, confirm the pilot light is lit. If everything seems normal and you still have no hot water, it’s time to call a pro.

Contact Top Flow Plumbing: Call us at (469) 807-3569. We’ll send a licensed technician to inspect your water heater—whether it’s tank, tankless, electric, or gas.

Get a Diagnosis and Quote: We’ll identify the issue—whether it’s a heating element, thermostat, sediment buildup, or full system failure—and provide a clear, upfront quote for repair or replacement.

Restore Your Hot Water Fast: We work quickly to get your hot water back. If a new unit is needed, we’ll help you select an energy-efficient option that fits your home and budget.

What should I do if I smell gas?

Smelling gas is always a serious issue and should be treated with immediate caution. Here’s what to do:

Evacuate the Area Immediately: Do not use electrical switches, open flames, or phones inside the property. Leave the building and move to a safe distance.

Call Your Gas Company or 911 First: Report the smell to your utility provider so they can shut off the gas supply if needed.

Then Call Top Flow Plumbing: Once safe, call us at (469) 807-3569. We’re licensed and trained to inspect and repair residential and commercial gas lines to code.

Get a Full Safety Check: We’ll locate the leak, repair or replace damaged lines, and verify system safety with pressure testing. We’ll also check all gas connections and appliances if needed.
