Handyman Emergencies: What Counts and What to Do First
What counts as a handyman emergency in Conway and Central Arkansas, what to do before we arrive, and how to reach All-Star’s 24/7 emergency handyman line.
A handyman emergency is a sudden home problem that risks water damage, safety or leaving the house without a basic necessity—like a burst supply line, a toilet that will not stop overflowing or a door that will not secure. For Conway and Central Arkansas homeowners, call All-Star Renovations at (501) 504-3398 for 24/7 emergency handyman help. Shut off water or power when it is safe, then call so we know what to bring.

Not every repair needs a midnight visit. Use this guide to decide what is urgent, what can wait for a next-day appointment and what to do in the first few minutes.
Burst or actively leaking pipe, supply line or water heater drip that is flooding
Water spreads fast into floors and ceilings
Toilet overflowing and will not stop
Contamination and floor damage
No water shut-off you can operate during a leak
Needs on-site help to stop the flow
Exterior door or lock that will not secure the home
Safety and security
Fixture or hardware failure that makes a bath or kitchen unusable with no workaround
Daily living interrupted
Life-threatening situations—fire, smell of gas, downed power lines, medical emergencies—call 911 or your utility first. We handle home repairs and emergency handyman work, not fire or utility rescue.
Keep out of standing water if electricity is nearby. If a breaker must be switched off for safety and you know which one, switch it. When in doubt, leave the area and call.
2
Stop the water if you can
Use the fixture shut-off or the main water shut-off. If you practiced finding it during seasonal winterizing, this step goes faster.
3
Contain the mess
Towels, buckets and moving rugs or furniture away from the leak limit damage while you wait.
4
Call (501) 504-3398
Tell us your city (Conway, Greenbrier, Vilonia, Maumelle or elsewhere in Central Arkansas), what failed, whether water is still flowing and whether anyone is home. We are available 24/7 for emergency handyman calls.
5
Clear a path
Unlock gates, move cars that block the hose bib or crawl space and keep pets secured.
Do not use electrical switches or appliances while standing in water. Do not try to patch a pressurized gas line yourself—call the gas utility and 911 if you smell gas.
