FAQs
What qualifies your plumbers in Norris as “licensed technicians”?
All of our plumbers hold current Tennessee state plumbing licenses, which require a minimum of four years of apprenticeship, passing a comprehensive trade exam, and ongoing continuing-education credits each renewal cycle. In addition, every technician carries full liability insurance and undergoes yearly manufacturer-specific training on the newest fixtures, water heaters, and backflow devices, ensuring you get a knowledgeable professional at every service call.
What situations are considered a plumbing emergency?
Any problem that threatens to cause property damage, health hazards, or loss of basic water service is treated as an emergency. Common examples include burst or frozen pipes, sewer line backups, major leaks, gas-water heater failures, overflowing toilets you cannot shut off, and sudden drops in water pressure that leave you without potable water. If you are unsure, call us—our dispatcher can quickly determine whether you need immediate assistance.
How fast can your emergency plumber reach my home or business in Norris?
We maintain a 24/7 on-call rotation and strategically stage fully stocked service vans around Anderson County. For addresses inside the city limits of Norris, our average response time is 30–45 minutes, even during nights, weekends, and holidays. Severe weather or road closures may extend arrival times slightly, but you will receive text and phone updates so you know exactly when help is on the way.
Do emergency plumbing services cost more than regular appointments?
Because emergency calls require after-hours staffing and immediate dispatch, there is an additional trip fee that covers overtime labor and extended parts availability. However, all repair work is billed at the same transparent, flat-rate pricing we use for daytime jobs—no hidden surcharges or upselling. Before any repair begins, your technician will show you the exact price in writing, and we honor that quote even if the job takes longer than expected.
What should I do while waiting for the technician to arrive?
1. Shut off the nearest water shut-off valve or the main house valve to stop further leakage. 2. Turn off electricity to any affected area if water is near outlets or appliances. 3. Open faucets on lower floors to drain remaining water from lines and reduce pressure. 4. Place towels or buckets under drips and move valuables out of harm’s way. 5. Avoid using chemical drain cleaners—they can make repairs more difficult and dangerous. Our dispatcher can guide you through these steps over the phone to minimize damage until the plumber arrives.
Are your emergency plumbing repairs guaranteed?
Yes. All workmanship carries a 1-year labor warranty, and most parts and fixtures come with manufacturer warranties ranging from 1 to 10 years. If the same issue reoccurs within the warranty period, we will return promptly at no charge. Additionally, we are bonded and insured for your complete peace of mind.
