FAQs
What situations are considered a plumbing emergency in Morristown?
Any issue that threatens to cause immediate water damage, property loss, or health hazards is an emergency. This includes burst pipes, sewage backups, major leaks, overflowing toilets, water heater failures, and gas line problems. If shutting off the water supply does not stop the problem or if you are unsure how to do so safely, call our emergency team right away.
How fast can your plumbers reach my home or business in Morristown?
Our emergency dispatch center operates 24/7, and we have technicians strategically located throughout Morristown and surrounding neighborhoods. In most cases, a licensed plumber can be at your door within 60 minutes of your call—often sooner during off-peak traffic hours.
Are your emergency plumbing services available after hours, on weekends, and holidays?
Yes. We provide true 24/7/365 coverage. Whether it’s 3 AM on a weekday, a Sunday afternoon, or a major holiday, our certified plumbers are always on call. You will reach a live representative—not an answering machine—who can dispatch help immediately.
What should I do while waiting for the emergency plumber to arrive?
First, turn off the main water shut-off valve if it is safe to access. This valve is usually located where the main water line enters your home (often near the water meter or in the basement). Next, switch off the water heater’s power or gas supply to prevent damage. If water is leaking, place towels or buckets to contain the flow and move valuables out of harm’s way. Avoid using any electrical appliances near standing water and keep children and pets clear of the area.
Do emergency plumbing repairs cost more than standard service calls?
Because emergency calls require immediate response, extended labor hours, and technicians on standby, the rates are higher than routine daytime appointments. However, we believe in transparent pricing. You will receive an upfront estimate before any work begins, and there are no hidden fees for travel within the Morristown area.
Can your team handle any type of emergency plumbing repair, or will I need multiple contractors?
Our fully licensed, bonded, and insured plumbers are equipped to resolve nearly every urgent plumbing issue in a single visit—from pipe repairs and sewer line clearing to water heater replacements and gas leak detection. We carry a wide range of parts and specialized tools on our trucks, minimizing the need for follow-up visits or additional contractors.
