- Remove as much water as possible to prevent damage.
Gas Leaks
What to do:- Immediately evacuate your home. Don’t use any electrical switches, cell phones, or start your car’s engine. Get a safe distance away.
- Call CenterPoint Energy’s natural gas leak hotline at (713) 665-4997 and call 911 to report the leak.

SHOULD I CALL A 24 HR. PLUMBER IN HOUSTON?
Sometimes it can be hard to tell whether you need to call a 24 hr. plumber in Houston for your plumbing issue or whether it can wait until morning. If you’re ever in doubt, it’s better to be safe than sorry about a potential plumbing issue.
Now, any plumbing problem that could cause significant damage to your home or pose a health threat to you and your family needs to be addressed immediately. These plumbing emergencies typically only get worse with time. No matter what time or day it is, you need to call a Houston emergency plumber to prevent larger issues.
A burst pipe that’s leaking gallons of water onto your floors and furniture is obviously an emergency. However, what about less catastrophic plumbing issues?
Here are some things to ask yourself about whether you’re dealing with a plumbing emergency:
- Do I need to use that plumbing fixture or drain before Santhoff’s normal operating hours?
- Will leaving the issue until morning endanger people or cause more damage?
If the answer to these questions is yes, you’ll need an emergency plumber right away.
However, if you have a clogged toilet in your home, but you have another one that you can use until the morning, then you may not need 24 hour plumbing repairs and you may be able to wait until normal business hours if you prefer.
