FAQs
What qualifies as a plumbing emergency in Ocoee?
Any situation that risks immediate water damage, health hazards, or loss of essential water service is considered an emergency. Examples include burst pipes, sewage backups, major leaks that can’t be contained, gas line leaks, and water heater failures that threaten flooding. If you’re unsure, call us—our dispatcher will assess the situation and advise you.
How quickly can your technicians reach my home or business in Ocoee?
Because we keep on-call plumbers stationed throughout West Orange County, our average response time within Ocoee city limits is 30–45 minutes. During severe weather or city-wide events, we’ll give you an accurate ETA before dispatch so you can plan accordingly.
Do you charge extra for after-hours or holiday emergency service?
Yes, emergency service outside standard business hours (8 a.m.–5 p.m., Monday–Friday) incurs an additional dispatch fee. However, we provide upfront, flat-rate pricing before any work begins, so there are no surprises on your invoice. Seniors, military members, and first responders receive a 10 % discount—even on emergency calls.
What should I do while waiting for the emergency plumber to arrive?
1) Turn off the main water shut-off valve (usually located where the water line enters your home). 2) If a leak is near a fixture, close the fixture’s supply valve. 3) Switch off the water heater’s gas or electric supply if it’s involved. 4) Move valuables and electronics away from water-affected areas. 5) Avoid using any plumbing fixtures until we complete repairs. Our dispatcher can walk you through these steps over the phone.
Are your plumbers licensed and insured to work in Ocoee?
Absolutely. All technicians hold Florida state plumbing licenses, carry full liability and workers’ compensation insurance, and undergo annual background checks. We also pull permits and coordinate inspections with the City of Ocoee when required, ensuring every repair meets local code.
Can you bill my homeowners insurance directly for water-damage emergencies?
Yes. We document the damage with photos, detailed service notes, and moisture readings, then work directly with most major insurers. While every policy differs, direct billing helps minimize your out-of-pocket costs and speeds up claims processing. Just provide your policy number when you call, and we’ll handle the paperwork.
