Old Valves and Old Pipes
Tolleson’s older homes have plumbing that has been working for decades. Emergencies here often come from parts that were fine until the moment they were not.
Shutoff valves that break. An angle stop under a sink or behind a toilet that has not been turned in years can snap or start leaking when you try to close it.
Galvanized pipe that cracks. Old galvanized pipe corrodes at the threads and can split without warning, often inside a wall.
Sewer lines that block. Clay and cast iron laterals with roots or cracks eventually stop flowing.
Water heaters without proper relief piping. When a tank fails, water goes everywhere.
If a Valve Breaks When You Turn It
- Do not panic. Grab towels and a bucket.
- Go to the main shutoff and close it. It is usually where the line enters the house or near a front hose bib.
- If the main will not close, use the valve at the water meter.
- Call us at 480-349-5386.
After the emergency, it is worth replacing old valves throughout the house so this does not happen again.
Sewer Backups in Tolleson
If sewage is coming up the tub or shower, stop running water and call. We clear the line from the cleanout and check what caused the blockage. In older Tolleson homes, roots and cracked pipe are common. See sewer line repair in Tolleson.
Details on our 24/7 service are on the main Peoria emergency plumbing page.
Water Heater Emergencies in Older Homes
In older Tolleson homes, water heater emergencies can be more dangerous because the installation may be missing safety features. A relief valve without a proper drain line can spray hot water. A gas water heater with a bad vent can back-draft.
If your water heater is leaking, turn off the power or gas and close the cold supply valve on top. If you smell gas, leave the house and call the gas company.
When we replace a water heater in an older home, we bring the installation up to code so the next emergency is less likely and less dangerous. See water heater repair in Tolleson.
Honest Pricing at Any Hour
Emergencies are stressful enough without worrying about the bill. When we arrive at your Tolleson home, Alex looks at the problem, explains it, and gives you the price before starting. If there is a temporary fix that gets you through the night and a permanent fix that can be scheduled, we will lay out both so you can choose.
Real Reviews for Tolleson Homeowners
Alex arrived at our house on short notice. He did a great job and explained the cause (which I always appreciate) of the clogs, so I can hopefully prevent in future. Prompt and courteous. I recommend him and his brother.

Wow! I have owned several homes and have use trades extensively. Alex was the best experience I have had across the board, communications, speed, expertise.
I had a water main leak on a holiday weekend. Contacted Alex and he arrived within an hour. The pipe was deep and a lot of dirt and rocks had to be removed. Alex carefully removed the ornamental rocks, used a tarp to contain the dirt and when finished the yard looked like new.
Thank you Alex
