FAQs
What counts as an emergency plumbing leak in a Pioneer commercial property?
Any water, chemical, or waste line leak that threatens to shut down operations, damage stock, compromise safety, or violate local health-and-safety codes is treated as an emergency. Examples include burst water mains, spraying fire-sprinkler pipes, leaking chilled-water lines, sewer backflows, and roof tank overflows. If the leak can spread quickly or interrupt critical services, call us immediately—24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
How fast can your emergency crew reach my facility in Pioneer?
Because our dispatch centre and parts warehouse are located within the Pioneer industrial estate, a fully equipped crew is typically on site within 30–60 minutes of your call. During off-peak hours the response is often faster. GPS-tracked vans, pre-packed spill-containment kits, and dedicated night-shift plumbers allow us to meet or exceed this timeline even on weekends and public holidays.
What should we do while waiting for the plumber to arrive?
1. Isolate the leak if it is safe—use local isolation valves or the main stop valve. 2. Switch off electrical equipment in the affected area to avoid shock hazards. 3. Contain water with absorbent pads, floor squeegees, or temporary bunds to protect stock and equipment. 4. Inform your facility or safety manager so evacuation or detours can be organised if required. 5. Do NOT attempt to repair pressurised pipes with tape or epoxy; temporary fixes often worsen the rupture.
Are your technicians qualified to service specialised commercial systems?
Yes. Our licensed plumbers hold PUB-recognized certifications and additional endorsements for medical-gas piping, fire-protection systems, industrial waste lines, and high-rise booster pumps. We carry confined-space permits and Work-at-Height qualifications, enabling us to tackle leaks in plant rooms, rooftops, and service tunnels safely and in compliance with Singapore regulations.
Will shutting off the main water supply disrupt my business, and can you provide alternatives?
When possible, we isolate only the affected branch so that production lines, tenant units, or F&B operations can continue running. If a full shut-down is unavoidable, we can install temporary bypass hoses or tanker-fed systems to maintain critical cooling or sanitation water. Our team coordinates with your facility manager to pick low-impact times (e.g., after closing hours) and minimises downtime with pre-fabricated repair sections ready to bolt or weld in place.
How do you charge for emergency leak response and do you assist with insurance claims?
Pricing is transparent: a fixed call-out fee covers travel and first-hour labour, followed by time-and-materials beyond that. After stabilising the leak we provide a written quotation for permanent repairs so you can control costs. We document the incident with photos, pressure-test results, and material receipts, which most insurers require. Our admin staff can liaise directly with your insurance loss adjuster to streamline claims processing and help you recover eligible expenses.
