FAQs
What should I do first when I discover my basement is flooding?
Shut off electricity to the affected area if it is safe to do so, stop using any plumbing fixtures, and call our 24/7 emergency line immediately. While you wait, try to keep children and pets away from the water, and if possible, move valuables to higher ground. Do not attempt to enter deep standing water, especially if electrical outlets or appliances are submerged.
How quickly can your emergency plumbers reach my Evensville home?
Our on-call technicians are stationed throughout the Evensville area. In most cases we arrive within 60 minutes of your call, day or night. You will receive a live ETA when you contact our dispatch team so you know exactly when help is on the way.
What are the most common causes of basement flooding in Evensville?
Heavy rain overwhelming sump pumps, burst or frozen pipes, sewer line backups, and water heater failures are the leading culprits. Aging infrastructure in some Evensville neighborhoods can also contribute to unexpected pipe bursts. Our technicians diagnose the exact source on arrival and implement targeted repairs to stop the water quickly.
Will you pump out the water and handle cleanup, or do I need a separate contractor?
We provide full-service response: emergency shut-off, water extraction with industrial pumps, removal of damaged materials, and initial drying with high-capacity dehumidifiers. If extensive restoration is required, we coordinate with trusted local remediation partners to return your basement to pre-loss condition.
Does insurance usually cover a flooded basement, and can you help with the claim?
Coverage depends on the source of the water and your specific policy. Sudden pipe bursts are typically covered; groundwater infiltration may require a flood rider. We document the damage with photos, moisture readings, and an itemized estimate, then work directly with your adjuster to streamline the claim process.
How much will emergency flooded-basement service cost?
Costs vary by severity, water depth, and required repairs. We charge a flat emergency dispatch fee that includes travel time and the first on-site inspection, followed by transparent, up-front pricing for pumping, pipe repair, and drying equipment. Before work begins, you’ll receive a written estimate so there are no surprises.
