FAQs
What types of situations are considered a plumbing emergency in Friendsville?
A plumbing emergency is any issue that can cause immediate water damage, health hazards, or loss of essential service. Common examples include burst or frozen pipes, sewer line backups, overflowing toilets, water heater leaks, gas line leaks, and complete loss of water supply. If a problem threatens your home’s safety or could worsen quickly, treat it as an emergency and call us right away.
How quickly can your emergency plumber reach my home in Friendsville?
Because our technicians are dispatched from within Blount County, we typically arrive anywhere in Friendsville—downtown, Louisville Road, or the outskirts—within 60 minutes of your call. During severe weather or unusually high call volume, we’ll give you a realistic arrival window and keep you updated by phone or text so you know exactly when to expect us.
How does your upfront pricing work for emergency plumbing services?
Upfront pricing means you’ll know the total, guaranteed cost of the repair before any work begins. After a quick on-site diagnosis, your licensed plumber will present one or more fixed-price options that cover all parts, labor, and cleanup. The price will not change, even if the job takes longer than expected. You simply approve your preferred option, and we get to work—no hidden fees, hourly surprises, or last-minute add-ons.
Do you charge extra for nights, weekends, or holidays?
No. Our pricing stays the same 24/7. Whether you call at 3 p.m. on a weekday or 3 a.m. on a holiday, you’ll receive the same upfront, flat-rate quote. The only time an additional cost might apply is if specialized parts must be rush-ordered from a supplier; if that happens, you’ll be informed and asked to approve the cost before we proceed.
What can I do to minimize damage while waiting for the emergency plumber?
1. Shut off the main water valve (usually found near the water meter or where the main line enters your home). 2. Turn off your water heater’s fuel source (gas valve or circuit breaker) if the leak involves hot water lines. 3. Open faucets to relieve pressure and drain remaining water. 4. Move valuables, electronics, and furniture away from the affected area. 5. Place towels or buckets under leaks and take photos for insurance documentation. 6. Avoid using plumbing fixtures until our technician arrives and gives the all-clear.
Is your emergency repair work guaranteed?
Absolutely. All emergency repairs are backed by a 1-year parts-and-labor warranty and our 100% satisfaction guarantee. If a covered issue recurs within that period, we’ll return promptly and correct it at no additional cost. Our plumbers are licensed, insured, and trained to local Friendsville and Tennessee codes, so you can count on durable, code-compliant solutions.
