FAQs
What situations count as a true plumbing emergency in Lookout Mountain?
Any issue that threatens to damage your property, compromise health, or cut off essential water service is considered an emergency. Common examples are burst pipes, sewer backups, overflowing toilets, water heater leaks, gas line leaks, and total loss of water pressure. If you are unsure, call us—our dispatcher can quickly tell you whether immediate service is advised.
How fast can your emergency plumbers reach my home or business in Lookout Mountain?
Because we stage technicians on both the west brow and the eastern valley access roads, our average arrival time is 45–60 minutes after your call, day or night. During severe weather, heavy tourist traffic, or road closures on Ochs Hwy and Scenic Hwy, we will give you real-time ETA updates by text so you always know when help is coming.
Are you really available 24/7, even on holidays and weekends?
Yes. Our dispatch center is staffed around the clock, and we have on-call plumbers every night, weekend, and major holiday. You will never reach an answering machine. If your emergency can’t wait until morning, we’ll be there regardless of the calendar.
What will emergency service cost, and do you provide up-front pricing?
We charge a flat emergency dispatch fee that covers travel, inspection, and the first half-hour of work; you’ll be told this amount before we send a truck. After diagnosing the problem, your plumber will present fixed, menu-style pricing for all repair options so you can approve the total before work begins. There are no after-hours surcharges, hidden trip fees, or overtime billing—just transparent, written pricing.
What should I do while I wait for the plumber to arrive?
1) Shut off the main water supply; most Lookout Mountain homes have the valve in the crawl space or along the front foundation wall. 2) Turn off power to electric water heaters at the breaker panel or set gas water heaters to “pilot.” 3) Open a faucet on the lowest level to relieve pressure. 4) Move valuables or furniture away from the leak. 5) Never use chemical drain cleaners, as they can worsen clogs and create a hazard for our technicians.
Are your plumbers licensed and do you guarantee your emergency repairs?
Absolutely. All technicians carry Tennessee or Georgia state plumbing licenses (many homes on Lookout straddle the state line) and are fully insured and background-checked. We pull permits when required and follow the latest Hamilton and Walker County code amendments. Every emergency repair is backed by our 12-month parts-and-labor warranty; if the problem recurs within that period, we fix it at no charge.
