FAQs
What types of plumbing emergencies do you handle in Pigeon Forge?
Our emergency team is equipped to tackle burst pipes, sewer backups, overflowing or clogged toilets, water heater failures, gas line leaks, frozen pipes, and any sudden water leaks that threaten property damage or health hazards.
How quickly can your plumbers arrive at my Pigeon Forge home or business?
Because we keep technicians on call 24/7 within Sevier County, most customers in Pigeon Forge can expect a licensed plumber at their door within 60 minutes—often sooner during normal traffic conditions.
What should I do while waiting for the emergency plumber to arrive?
If it’s safe, turn off the main water shut-off valve (usually located near the water meter or where the main line enters the building). Shut off electricity to affected areas if water is pooling near outlets or appliances. Do not use chemical drain cleaners, and avoid touching any standing water that may be contaminated with sewage.
Do you charge extra for after-hours, weekend, or holiday service?
Yes, emergency service outside standard business hours does carry an additional dispatch fee to cover overtime staffing and rapid-response logistics. We’ll always quote that fee up front on the phone, so you can approve or decline before we roll a truck.
Are your emergency plumbers licensed and insured?
Absolutely. Every technician who answers an emergency call in Pigeon Forge holds a Tennessee state plumbing license, carries full liability and workers’ compensation insurance, and passes annual background and drug screenings.
Can you work with my homeowners insurance for water-damage claims?
Yes. We document the incident, provide photographs, and submit itemized repair estimates directly to most major carriers. While coverage decisions are ultimately up to your insurer, our detailed reports help streamline the claims process and can reduce out-of-pocket costs.
