FAQs
Are your emergency plumbers available during all holiday weekends in Karns?
Yes. Our on-call team is staffed 24/7/365—including every federal holiday, long weekend, and local celebration—so you can reach a licensed plumber in Karns any time a crisis strikes.
How fast can you arrive at my Karns home during a holiday weekend?
Our dispatch center monitors crews positioned throughout Knox County. In most cases we arrive within 60–90 minutes of your call. Heavier holiday traffic may add a short delay, but you’ll receive real-time ETA updates by text or phone.
Do holiday weekend service calls cost extra?
We charge a fixed emergency service fee that remains the same nights, weekends, and holidays—no hidden "holiday surcharge." After diagnosing the problem, your plumber presents upfront, flat-rate pricing before any work begins.
What should I do while waiting for the emergency plumber?
1. Turn off the main water shut-off valve (usually near the water heater or street meter) to stop flooding. 2. Cut power to electrical appliances if water is spreading near outlets. 3. Place towels or buckets to contain leaks. 4. Avoid using chemical drain cleaners—they can worsen clogs and create hazards. 5. Have your utility account number handy in case we need to coordinate with KUB (Knoxville Utilities Board).
What plumbing problems are most common during holiday weekends?
• Kitchen drain clogs from heavy cooking grease and food scraps. • Broken garbage disposals overloaded with peelings, bones, or fibrous veggies. • Burst pipes caused by guests adjusting thermostats too low. • Clogged toilets from increased restroom usage. • Water heater failures when extra showers overtax the system. • Sewer line backups triggered by tree-root intrusion and rain runoff.
