FAQs
What does “flat-rate pricing” mean for our Blountville commercial plumbing customers?
Flat-rate pricing means you are quoted a single, up-front price for the entire job after our technician diagnoses the issue. The figure includes standard labor, travel, and the parts listed on the quote, so you know the exact cost before authorizing work—no hourly charges, no hidden fees, and no price changes even if the repair takes longer than expected.
Which commercial plumbing services are covered under your flat-rate menu?
Our flat-rate structure applies to most routine and emergency services, including water-heater repair or replacement up to 100-gallon units, drain and sewer line clearing up to 4-inch mains, restroom fixture repairs, backflow device testing, leak detection and pipe repair, and scheduled preventive maintenance. Large-scale re-piping, grease-trap installation, or specialty equipment installs are bid separately after a site survey, but even those are quoted as fixed totals—not hourly.
Are parts and materials included in the quoted flat rate?
Yes. The quoted price covers all common parts, standard fittings, sealants, and disposal of debris. If a specialty fixture or restroom accessory you select is outside our catalog, we will give you its cost in writing before proceeding, so there are never surprise add-ons.
Do you charge a trip or diagnostic fee for Blountville businesses?
No. Travel anywhere within Blountville and the greater Tri-Cities area (Bristol, Kingsport, Johnson City) is included. A diagnostic visit is also built into the flat-rate system: once we identify the problem, we present the guaranteed price. If you decide not to move forward, a modest assessment fee applies, but it is waived when you approve the repair.
How quickly can you respond to a commercial plumbing emergency?
We offer 24/7 emergency dispatch with an average on-site arrival of 60–90 minutes for Blountville addresses. Because the price is flat, overtime or after-hours labor premiums are already factored into the quote; you will not pay extra for a weekend or 2 a.m. call-out.
Are your plumbers licensed and insured to work on commercial properties in Tennessee?
Absolutely. All lead technicians hold a current Tennessee LLE or CMC plumbing license and carry $2 million in liability coverage and workers’ compensation insurance. We pull permits and schedule inspections where required, ensuring your facility remains compliant with Blountville codes, state regulations, and any applicable health-department or ADA standards.
