FAQs
What types of situations are considered a plumbing emergency?
Any issue that threatens safety, property, or the basic use of water and waste lines is treated as an emergency. Typical examples include burst or frozen pipes, sewage backups, major leaks that cannot be shut off, malfunctioning water heaters leaking gas or water, clogged main drains, and any situation where water is flooding living areas. If you are unsure, call us—our dispatcher can quickly let you know whether immediate service is recommended.
How fast can your background-checked technicians reach my home or business in Monteagle?
Because we keep an on-call crew in the Monteagle area 24/7, our average arrival time is 60 minutes or less after your call is confirmed. Dispatch uses GPS to send the nearest available, background-checked technician directly to your address and tracks the vehicle in real time so we can give you accurate ETAs by text or phone.
Are your emergency plumbers licensed, insured, and background checked?
Yes. Every technician we send to your door has passed a national criminal background screening, drug testing, and verification of trade licensure. Our company carries full liability and workers’ compensation insurance, so you are protected in the unlikely event of accidental damage or injury on site.
What should I do while waiting for the technician to arrive?
If it is safe, turn off the nearest water shut-off valve or the main water supply to stop the flow. For water heater issues, switch the appliance to the OFF position on both the thermostat and, if gas-powered, the gas valve. Avoid using electrical appliances in wet areas. If a sewage backup is involved, keep people and pets away from contaminated water. Our dispatcher can walk you through any other quick steps over the phone.
Will I pay extra for nights, weekends, or holidays?
We do apply an emergency service fee for calls outside regular business hours, but we publish this fee up front and include it in the written estimate you approve before work begins. There are no hidden overtime multipliers or surprise line-item charges, and we honor all coupons and membership discounts 24/7.
Can your technicians handle both residential and commercial plumbing emergencies?
Absolutely. Our trucks are stocked with commercial-grade equipment—high-capacity pumps, hydro-jetters, drain cameras, and water-restoration tools—so we can service restaurants, retail spaces, apartments, and single-family homes alike. We also carry parts for the most common fixtures and pipe sizes found in Monteagle properties, allowing us to complete the majority of emergency repairs on the first visit.
