FAQs
What counts as a plumbing emergency, and how fast can you get to my home in Luttrell?
A plumbing emergency is any situation that threatens to damage your property, endanger your health, or leave you without essential water or drainage. Common examples include burst or frozen pipes, major leaks, sewer backups, overflowing toilets, water heater failure, and gas or water line breaks. Because these issues can escalate quickly, we operate a 24/7 emergency dispatch center. Once you place a call, a live representative locates the on-call technician closest to your Luttrell address, and we typically arrive within 60 minutes—often sooner during off-peak traffic hours.
How does your up-front pricing work for emergency plumbing calls?
Up-front pricing means you know the total cost of the job before any work begins. When our technician arrives, they perform a rapid but thorough on-site assessment, explain the problem, and present a flat-rate quote that covers parts, labor, and tax. If you approve the quote, that price is locked in even if the repair takes longer than expected. No hidden fees, no surprise add-ons, and no hourly rates that keep ticking while you worry. If you decide not to proceed, you only pay the modest diagnostic fee, which we waive if we perform the repair.
Will I be charged extra for after-hours, weekend, or holiday emergency service?
No. Our flat-rate, up-front pricing stays the same 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. We believe that plumbing disasters don’t choose convenient times, so it’s unfair to charge you more when they happen at night or on a holiday. The only additional cost you might see is for specialized parts we do not carry on our trucks—those are always quoted and approved before purchase.
What should I do while waiting for the emergency plumber to arrive?
1. Shut off the main water valve (usually located where the water line enters your home) to stop additional flooding. 2. If the leak is isolated to a sink or toilet, turn off the local shutoff valve under the fixture. 3. Turn off the water heater if it’s leaking or if you’ve closed the main valve (to prevent heat-related damage). 4. Avoid using any plumbing fixtures, especially if you suspect a sewer backup. 5. Remove valuables and electronics from the affected area and use towels or buckets to minimize water spread. 6. Never use chemical drain cleaners during an active overflow—they can worsen the problem and create a hazard for our technicians.
Are your emergency plumbers licensed, insured, and background-checked?
Yes. Every technician on our emergency team holds a Tennessee Journeyman or Master Plumber license, undergoes continuous manufacturer training, and carries full liability and workers’ compensation insurance. We also conduct nationwide background checks and drug screenings for your peace of mind. Our plumbers arrive in clearly marked vehicles, wear company uniforms with photo ID badges, and respect your home by using shoe covers and protective floor mats.
What payment methods do you accept, and is financing available?
For your convenience, we accept major credit cards, debit cards, checks, and cash at the time of service. If a repair or replacement is more extensive, we offer same-day financing through partnered lenders, often with 0% promotional rates for qualified applicants. Your technician can walk you through the quick, paperless application process right on site, so the emergency fix never has to wait because of budget concerns.
