FAQs
What should I do immediately after discovering a burst pipe at midnight?
First, shut off your home’s main water valve to stop the flow and prevent additional water damage. If it’s safe, switch off electricity to any affected areas. Then call our 24/7 emergency plumbing line. While you wait for our technician, open faucets to relieve remaining pressure and, if possible, move valuables away from the leak.
How fast can your emergency plumbers reach my home in Clinton during the night?
Our on-call technicians live and work locally, allowing us to arrive anywhere in Clinton within 45 minutes on average—often sooner. We dispatch as soon as your call is received and keep you updated with real-time ETAs.
Will there be extra fees for late-night service?
We never charge a ‘midnight surcharge.’ Our pricing is the same 24 hours a day. After assessing the situation on site, the plumber provides a clear, written estimate before any work begins, so there are no surprises on your final bill.
Can you work directly with my homeowner’s insurance for burst-pipe damage claims?
Yes. Our team documents the damage, takes photos, and completes the repair invoice in a format most insurers require. Upon request, we can bill your insurance carrier directly and supply the necessary paperwork to streamline your claim.
Do you carry the parts needed to fix a burst pipe during the initial visit?
Our fully stocked service vans contain common copper, PEX, and PVC piping, fittings, repair clamps, and soldering equipment. In over 90% of midnight calls, we complete the repair on the first visit without waiting for parts. If a specialized component is needed, we’ll perform a secure temporary fix and return promptly once the part arrives.
How can I prevent pipes from bursting again in the future?
Insulate exposed pipes, especially in unheated areas like crawl spaces, attics, and exterior walls. Keep your home’s thermostat at 55°F (13°C) or higher during cold snaps, even when you’re away. Drain outdoor hoses and shut off exterior spigots before winter. Finally, schedule an annual plumbing inspection—our technicians can identify vulnerable pipe sections and recommend upgrades before problems arise.
