FAQs
What should I do first when I discover a burst pipe or major leak in my Lookout Mountain home?
Immediately shut off your home’s main water supply valve—usually located where the main line enters the foundation or in the crawl space. If water is near electrical outlets or appliances, cut power at the breaker panel to avoid shock. Next, call our 24-hour emergency line so we can dispatch a licensed plumber. While you wait, place buckets or towels under active leaks, move valuables to a dry area, and photograph the damage for insurance documentation.
How fast can your emergency plumbing team arrive in Lookout Mountain and the surrounding areas?
Because our technicians are strategically stationed on the mountain and in nearby Chattanooga Valley, we reach most addresses in Lookout Mountain, GA and TN within 60 minutes—often sooner. Our GPS-tracked service vans carry all common repair parts, allowing us to start mitigation and pipe repairs on the first visit.
Can you work directly with my insurance company for water-damage claims?
Yes. We coordinate with all major carriers, including State Farm, USAA, Allstate, and Travelers. Our technicians document the loss with moisture readings, photos, and written estimates, then send the paperwork directly to your adjuster. This streamlines approval, helps ensure code-compliant repairs, and reduces out-of-pocket costs for you.
What types of water-damage repairs do you handle besides stopping the leak?
In addition to pipe repair or replacement, we provide full structural drying, dehumidification, carpet and pad extraction, baseboard and drywall removal, antimicrobial treatments to inhibit mold, and final reconstruction such as drywall, trim, and paint. Having one contractor handle both plumbing and restoration speeds up the recovery process and maintains consistent workmanship.
Are your emergency plumbing services available 24/7, even on holidays and weekends?
Absolutely. Water damage doesn’t wait for business hours, so neither do we. Our call center is staffed around the clock, and an on-call master plumber is always ready to respond—whether it’s 2 a.m. on a Tuesday or Christmas morning. There are no hidden after-hours fees; pricing is transparent and quoted before work begins.
How can I prevent future water damage after the emergency repair is completed?
Schedule an annual whole-home plumbing inspection to check for high water pressure, corroded supply lines, and failing shut-off valves. Consider installing smart leak-detection devices that automatically shut off water when a leak is detected. Insulate exposed pipes before winter, drain outdoor hose bibs, and replace rubber washing-machine hoses with braided stainless-steel lines. Regular maintenance greatly reduces the risk of repeat incidents.
