Service With a Heart
Selma is home to Crown Plumbing & Water Damage Restoration, and that means something when a plumbing emergency hits at two in the morning. We are not dispatching from across the metro. We are your neighbors, and we know this community the way only a local company can. Selma sits at the intersection of I-35 and Loop 1604 in northeast Bexar County, a city that has grown steadily alongside the broader development of the northeast San Antonio corridor. The housing stock here reflects that growth, with a mix of newer subdivisions on flat terrain and some older construction near the city’s original core. The soil beneath most of Selma is part of the same clay-dominant profile that runs through the northeast corridor, and the area’s position in the Edwards Aquifer service zone means the hard water that affects plumbing systems across the region is a factor here too.
When something goes wrong with your plumbing in Selma, you are calling a company that is already here. We are IICRC certified, family-owned, and have been serving this community and the greater San Antonio area since 2006.
Living in the same community means we understand that plumbing emergencies do not follow a schedule, and we take every call seriously regardless of the hour. These situations in your Selma home require an immediate response rather than a next-day appointment:

We know this neighborhood. We know the soil, the water, and the building patterns here, and that knowledge helps us diagnose and repair problems faster than a company arriving from the other side of the metro.

Linda called us on a weekday evening after noticing a wet ring forming on the carpet near her hallway bathroom door. Her home was in the Retama Park area of Selma, a 2012 build that had been trouble-free since she moved in. When she checked the bathroom, nothing was visibly leaking, and all the fixtures were dry. But the carpet outside the door was unmistakably wet, and when she put her hand on the floor near the base of the bathroom wall, it was warm to the touch.
Because we are local, we had a technician at Linda’s door within thirty minutes. Leak detection pointed to a hot water supply line failure beneath the slab, running directly below the hallway bathroom threshold. The line had been releasing water at low volume for what appeared to be several days before it wicked through the slab and into the carpet pad. We completed the repair that evening, confirmed no additional moisture had spread further down the hallway, and returned the following morning with drying equipment to address the subfloor and carpet pad. Linda told us knowing her plumber was right down the road made the whole situation feel far less overwhelming than she expected.
There are plenty of plumbing companies serving the greater San Antonio area, but Crown Plumbing & Water Damage Restoration is the one that calls Selma home. That matters in an emergency. Shorter response times, direct familiarity with the local soil conditions and building patterns, and a reputation built in the community we actually live in. We have been serving Selma and the surrounding region since 2006, and every five-star review we have earned reflects a real neighbor who trusted us when it mattered.
When you call Crown Plumbing in Selma, you are calling your neighbors. We take that seriously on every single job.
Yes. Being headquartered in Selma means our team is already in the area for many emergency calls, and we are typically able to arrive faster than companies dispatching from other parts of the San Antonio metro. We prioritize emergency calls and aim to reach Selma homeowners as quickly as possible.
Newer homes in Selma are not immune to slab leaks. The clay soil in the northeast Bexar County corridor continues to expand and contract with moisture changes after construction, putting cyclic stress on supply line joints and bends beneath the foundation. This process does not require decades to produce a failure. We respond to slab leak calls in Selma homes that are only a few years old regularly, and it is one of the most common misconceptions we address with new homeowners in this area.
It does. Selma is served by water from the Edwards Aquifer, which has elevated dissolved mineral content throughout the northeast Bexar County corridor. This mineral-rich water deposits scale inside water heater tanks, clogs aerator screens on fixtures, and over time can affect supply line flow. Water heater failures in particular are accelerated by hard water scale buildup, which is why we see so many heater-related emergency calls in this area.
Locate and close your main water shutoff valve to stop the flow of water into the problem area. If you cannot find it, call us immediately and we can help you locate it over the phone while a technician is on the way. Once the water is off, move any valuables or electronics away from the affected area if it is safe to do so, and avoid using any fixtures connected to the impacted line.
Yes. Crown Plumbing & Water Damage Restoration handles both sides of the event. We repair the failed pipe or component and then assess and address any water damage that has resulted, from structural drying and mold prevention to full restoration and insurance documentation. As your local plumber, we stay involved through the entire process.
