FAQs
What does "upfront pricing" mean for your emergency plumbing services?
Upfront pricing means you will know the total cost of the repair before any work begins. Our technician inspects the problem, explains the solution, and presents a flat-rate quote that includes parts, labor, and trip fees. Once you approve the price in writing, it will not change—even if the job takes longer than expected.
How quickly can your plumbers reach my home in Kingsport during an emergency?
We operate a 24/7 dispatch center in Kingsport and keep fully stocked service vehicles on standby. In most parts of the city we can arrive within 60 minutes, and many calls are answered in 30 minutes or less. You will receive a real-time ETA by text or phone as soon as the technician is en route.
Do you charge extra for emergency plumbing calls at night or on weekends?
No. The same flat-rate menu pricing applies whether you call at 2 p.m. or 2 a.m., weekdays or holidays. Because your quote is given upfront, you never pay a surprise after-hours surcharge. The only time the price changes is if you choose additional work beyond the original scope.
What types of plumbing issues are considered emergencies?
We treat any problem that can cause water damage, health hazards, or prolonged service interruption as an emergency. Examples include burst pipes, major leaks, sewer line backups, overflowing toilets, water heater failures, gas line leaks, and drain blockages that shut down all fixtures. If you are unsure, call us—our team will help you decide whether immediate service is needed.
Are your plumbers licensed and insured to work in Kingsport, TN?
Absolutely. Every technician holds a current Tennessee plumbing license, carries full liability and workers’ compensation insurance, and undergoes background and drug screening. We also maintain all required city permits and follow the latest local codes for your safety and protection.
Is your work guaranteed and what warranties do you provide?
Yes. All emergency repairs come with a 1-year parts and labor warranty, and many replacement fixtures carry extended manufacturer warranties that we honor on your behalf. If the same issue reoccurs within the warranty period, we will return and correct it at no additional cost.
