FAQs
What situations count as a hot-water plumbing emergency in Maynardville?
Any issue that threatens safety, property, or leaves you without hot water is considered an emergency. Examples include a burst or severely leaking water-heater tank, no hot water during freezing weather, scalding-hot water coming from taps, a failed pressure-relief valve, gas odors around a gas heater, or electrical burning smells on an electric unit. If you notice any of these, shut off the water and energy supply to the heater if it is safe to do so, and call our 24/7 emergency line immediately.
How fast can your technicians reach my home or business in Maynardville?
Because we keep fully stocked service vehicles stationed in and around Union County, our average arrival time inside the Maynardville city limits is 60 minutes or less. When you call, our dispatcher uses GPS to send the closest licensed plumber, provides you with an ETA, and keeps you updated by text or phone until help arrives.
What should I do while waiting for the plumber if my water heater is leaking?
First, turn off power to the unit—switch the breaker off for electric heaters or turn the gas control to the OFF position for gas models. Next, locate the cold-water shutoff valve above the heater and turn it clockwise to stop incoming water. If the leak is severe, open a nearby hot-water tap to relieve pressure. Move valuables away from the leak, place towels or a bucket under dripping areas, and avoid standing water near electrical outlets. Then wait in a safe area until our technician arrives.
Do you repair and replace all types and brands of water heaters?
Yes. Our Maynardville emergency crew is trained and equipped to service conventional tank-style heaters, high-efficiency gas units, electric models, heat-pump water heaters, and modern tankless/“on-demand” systems. We carry common replacement parts for major brands such as Rheem, Bradford White, AO Smith, Navien, Rinnai, and more, so most repairs can be completed on the first visit.
Is there an extra charge for emergency service at night, on weekends, or holidays?
We do apply a modest emergency dispatch fee for calls outside normal business hours to cover overtime staffing and rapid response logistics. However, we provide upfront flat-rate pricing before any work begins, so you will know the total cost—including parts, labor, and the emergency fee—before you authorize repairs. Senior and military discounts still apply, and we accept major credit cards and financing for larger replacements.
Can you help me avoid future hot-water emergencies?
Absolutely. After restoring your hot water, we can perform a complimentary system check that includes inspecting the anode rod, testing the temperature-pressure relief valve, checking venting or electrical connections, flushing sediment, and verifying thermostat settings. We’ll give you a written report with maintenance recommendations and offer enrollment in our annual water-heater tune-up program, which reduces the risk of leaks, extends equipment life, and keeps your manufacturer’s warranty valid.
