Greatwood sits south of the Brazos River, between US 59 and Crabb River Road. About 4,167 homes fill its 29 neighborhoods, built between 1989 and 2008. Greatwood became part of the City of Sugar Land in 2017.
We provide emergency plumbing in Sugar Land, TX, for homes across Greatwood. Homes here are now 18 to 37 years old, and many water heaters have been replaced more than once. An aging tank can fail with little warning. Knowing what to do first can keep 50 gallons of water off your floors.
Abacus has served the Sugar Land area since 2003, working from our Industrial Boulevard location. Real people answer our phones 24/7, including holidays. Call us to check availability for your home.
Whether your home sits near Greatwood Parkway or along one of its 12 community parks, these problems call for an emergency plumber:
A water heater leaking or bursting
A burst pipe spraying or spreading water
Sewage backing up into tubs, showers or floor drains
A gas smell inside or near the home
No water anywhere in the home
A major leak pooling under sinks or along the slab
If you smell gas, leave the home first. Call 911 from outside, then call us.
A failed water heater can release 40 to 50 gallons into your garage, closet or attic. In Greatwood homes built between 1989 and 2008, the tank often sits in the garage or attic. Know where yours is before trouble starts.
Watch for these warning signs:
Water pooling around the base of the tank
Rusty or brown hot water
Rumbling or popping sounds from the tank
A relief valve pipe that keeps dripping
No hot water at all
An active leak or a burst tank is an emergency, so call us 24/7. Lukewarm water or a rumbling tank can usually wait for a scheduled visit. You can see all of our plumbing services for Sugar Land homes in one place.
Water heater leaking or burst? Call us 24/7.
When your water heater starts leaking, these steps can limit the damage:
Turn off the cold water valve on top of the tank to stop more water from flowing in.
Cut the power or gas. For a gas unit, set the control to “off” or “pilot.” For an electric unit, switch off its breaker.
Stay clear of hot water and steam around the tank.
Move boxes and belongings out of the water’s path.
Take photos of the damage for your insurance company.
Don’t try to drain or move the tank yourself. If you smell gas near the water heater, leave the home and call 911 from outside.
A licensed plumber handles every emergency repair we make in Greatwood. Our technicians arrive in marked Abacus vehicles, wearing uniforms and photo ID. You can confirm who we are before you open the door.
You can also check any plumber’s license with the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners. A water heater replacement may need a City of Sugar Land permit. We confirm that step with you before the work begins.
