FAQs
What qualifies as a plumbing emergency for Ducktown businesses?
Any issue that stops your operation, poses a health risk, or threatens property is an emergency. Common examples include burst supply lines, sewer back-ups, major leaks, gas-water heater failures, and clogged main drains. If you are unsure, call us—our dispatcher will evaluate the situation and, when necessary, send a crew immediately.
How quickly can your rapid-response team reach my commercial property?
Our Ducktown technicians are on call 24/7 and average a 45-minute arrival time within city limits. GPS-equipped vans, local parts stocking, and real-time traffic routing let us reach most sites faster than a traditional service window. You’ll receive text updates with the technician’s ETA so you know exactly when help is coming.
Do you service all types of commercial facilities?
Yes. We routinely work in restaurants, retail stores, office complexes, schools, healthcare facilities, manufacturing plants, multi-tenant buildings, and municipal properties. Our plumbers carry the specialized tools and fittings required for high-capacity fixtures, grease lines, backflow prevention assemblies, and rooftop mechanical rooms found in commercial settings.
How do your plumbers minimize downtime for my business?
Every truck is stocked as a rolling warehouse, allowing 90% of repairs to be completed on the first visit. When a shutdown is unavoidable, we can often isolate the affected zone so the rest of your operation stays open. Detailed after-action reports, photos, and preventive recommendations are provided to help you avoid repeat disruptions.
Are your technicians licensed and familiar with Ducktown codes?
Absolutely. All lead plumbers hold state master or journeyman licenses, and every apprentice works under direct supervision. We stay current with Ducktown’s commercial plumbing code amendments, health department grease-trap regulations, and inspection procedures, ensuring your repair passes any required follow-up review.
What steps should I take while waiting for your crew to arrive?
1) Shut off the nearest isolation valve or the main water supply if safe to do so. 2) Kill power to any affected electrical panels. 3) Keep employees and customers clear of wet floors or contaminated areas. 4) Do not use chemical drain cleaners—they can worsen damage. 5) Gather basic information (location of leak, noises heard, odors detected) to speed our diagnostic process once onsite.
