FAQs
What should I do immediately if my water heater is leaking or has burst?
First, turn off the cold-water shut-off valve located on the supply line at the top of the tank to stop further flooding. Next, switch off the power source—flip the breaker for an electric unit or turn the gas control knob to the OFF position for a gas heater. Finally, call our 24-hour emergency plumbing line. Our Crossville technicians can usually arrive within an hour, isolate the leak, mitigate water damage, and advise on repair vs. replacement.
How fast can your emergency plumbers reach my home or business in Crossville?
Because we station on-call technicians throughout Cumberland County, our average response time inside Crossville city limits is 45–60 minutes, even on nights, weekends, and holidays. Customers outside the city core—Lake Tansi, Fairfield Glade, Crab Orchard, and Pleasant Hill—typically see a technician at their door in 60–90 minutes, weather and traffic permitting.
Do you repair and install all types and brands of water heaters?
Yes. Our licensed plumbers are factory-trained on conventional tank, tankless, hybrid heat-pump, and point-of-use units from leading manufacturers such as Rheem, Bradford White, A.O. Smith, Navien, Rinnai, and more. We carry common replacement parts on our trucks, which allows us to complete most repairs in a single visit. If a replacement is required, we stock both gas and electric models sized for Crossville homes, ensuring same-day installation when possible.
Will I need to replace my water heater, or can it be repaired?
We always begin with a full diagnostic: checking heating elements or burners, thermostats, pressure relief valve, anode rod, and tank integrity. If the tank itself is rusted through or the unit is more than 10–12 years old, replacement is usually the most cost-effective solution. For issues like thermostat failure, element burnout, or a leaking drain valve, repair is often feasible and far less expensive. We provide upfront pricing and a clear explanation so you can make an informed decision.
What are common warning signs that my water heater may soon fail?
Watch for rusty or discolored hot water, rumbling or popping noises from sediment buildup, water pooling around the base, fluctuating water temperature, and higher energy bills. Any of these symptoms suggest the heater is under stress. Scheduling a professional inspection can prevent a sudden breakdown and costly water damage.
Are your emergency water heater services available 24/7 and is there an extra fee?
Absolutely. Our dispatch center is staffed around the clock, and a licensed plumber is always on duty for emergencies. Service after regular hours does include an emergency call-out fee, but we disclose this upfront over the phone. All repair and replacement work is quoted before we begin, and there are never surprise charges on your final invoice.
