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](tel:5015043398) for 24/7 emergency handyman help. Shut off water or power when it is safe, then call so we know what to bring. Last reviewed: November 6, 2026 · Serving Conway and Central Arkansas 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. ## What usually counts as an emergency | Situation | Why it is urgent | | - | - | | 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 | > [!NOTE] > > 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. ## What can usually wait for a scheduled visit * Dripping faucet that is contained * Loose cabinet hinge or drawer slide * Cosmetic caulk gaps with no active leak * Minor drywall holes * Non-urgent fixture swaps you planned ahead Book those through [Repairs](https://allstarreno.com/handyman-services/repairs), [Installation](https://allstarreno.com/handyman-services/installation) or [Maintenance](https://allstarreno.com/handyman-services/maintenance). ## What to do before we arrive **1. Stay safe** 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](https://allstarreno.com/docs/care/seasonal-home-maintenance-checklist.md), 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. > [!WARNING] > > 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. ## How our emergency handyman service fits day-to-day work All-Star Renovations is a veteran-owned remodeler based around Conway, with bathroom remodeling first, then kitchens, then handyman support.
