FAQs
What should I do first if a supply line suddenly gushes water in my Calhoun home?
Immediately turn off your home’s main water shut-off valve, which is typically located near the water meter at the street or on an exterior wall close to where the main line enters the house. If you can’t find or reach the valve safely, shut off the meter stop at the curb box instead. Once the flow is stopped, cut power to any affected electrical circuits and call our 24/7 emergency line. Quick action limits water damage, mold growth, and repair costs.
How quickly can your emergency plumbers reach me in Calhoun?
Because our service hub is located just off GA-53, our on-call technicians can reach most addresses in Calhoun within 30–45 minutes, day or night. We keep fully stocked service vans on standby so we can leave as soon as your call is dispatched, even on weekends and holidays.
Are your plumbers licensed and familiar with Calhoun codes?
Absolutely. Every technician holds a Georgia State Class II Master Plumber license and undergoes continuous code update training. We work closely with the City of Calhoun Building & Safety Department, so our repairs comply with local amendments to the International Plumbing Code, ensuring any required permits or inspections pass the first time.
Will shutting off the street-side meter stop the leak completely?
In most cases, yes. The meter stop controls the water entering your entire property. Turning it 90° clockwise with a curb key should halt the flow. However, residual water in the line may continue to drain for a minute or two, and if a hot-water line burst, the water in the water heater tank could still back-flow. We’ll guide you over the phone on any additional steps, such as isolating the water heater or draining low points, until we arrive.
Can you help with insurance claims for water damage caused by a burst supply line?
Yes. We document the failure, take moisture readings, and provide photos and detailed repair invoices that most carriers, including State Farm, Allstate, and Farmers, accept. If requested, we can meet your adjuster on-site to explain the cause and scope, which often speeds up claim approval and reimbursement for both plumbing repairs and associated water-mitigation work.
What will my emergency repair cost, and do you charge after-hours fees?
We provide flat-rate pricing based on the complexity of the repair, not by the hour. A typical emergency supply-line replacement in Calhoun ranges from $225 to $475, including parts and labor. After-hours service (5 p.m.–8 a.m., weekends, and holidays) carries a $95 emergency dispatch fee, which we waive if extensive repairs or re-piping exceed $800. We always give you an upfront written estimate before any work begins.
