FAQs
What should I do first if a pipe suddenly bursts in my Bean Station home?
Turn off your main water shut-off valve immediately to stop the flow of water and limit structural damage. The valve is usually located where the main line enters your house or near the water heater. After shutting off the water, switch off electricity to any affected area if water is near outlets or appliances. Once the situation is stable, call Stubborn Leaks Plumbing’s emergency line—our dispatcher is on duty 24/7 to send a licensed technician to your address.
How fast can Stubborn Leaks Plumbing reach me during an emergency in Bean Station?
Because our technicians are strategically stationed throughout Grainger County, our average response time inside the Bean Station city limits is 45–60 minutes from the moment your call is confirmed. GPS-equipped service vans let us choose the quickest route, and our trucks are stocked with common repair parts so work can begin as soon as we arrive.
Are emergency services available at night, on weekends, and on holidays?
Yes. Stubborn Leaks Plumbing operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year—including Christmas, Thanksgiving, and all major holidays. We never use an answering service; your call is routed directly to an on-call plumber or dispatcher who can assess the urgency, give safety instructions, and send help immediately.
Will my entire water supply need to stay off until the repair is completed?
Not always. In many cases we can isolate the faulty pipe or fixture so the rest of your household can continue to use water. If the main must remain shut off—for example, when the leak is in an inaccessible main line—we work in teams to keep total downtime as short as possible, typically 1–3 hours for most residential repairs in Bean Station.
How is emergency leak repair priced and will I get a written estimate?
We charge a flat emergency service call fee that covers travel and initial diagnostics, followed by transparent, menu-style pricing for common repairs (e.g., re-piping a burst section, replacing a failed shut-off valve, or installing new fittings). After the on-site assessment you’ll receive a written estimate before work begins, so there are no surprises when the job is complete. We accept cash, checks, major credit cards, and most homeowner insurance companies reimburse plumbing leak repairs when filed promptly.
What can I do to reduce water damage before the plumber arrives?
After turning off your main valve, open cold and hot taps at the lowest level of your home to drain remaining water from the lines. Move furniture, electronics, and valuables away from the affected area. Place buckets or towels under active drips and use a wet/dry vacuum if available to remove standing water. Never attempt invasive repairs (cutting drywall, soldering, etc.) on your own—improper handling can worsen the leak or void insurance coverage. Our certified technicians will perform a full assessment and permanent repair once on site.
