FAQs
What situations count as a plumbing emergency and when should I call the Rapid-Response Team in Reliance?
Call us any time you experience an issue that threatens property damage, health, or safety. Common emergencies include burst or frozen pipes, sewer backups, overflowing toilets, gas or water leaks, sudden loss of hot water, and blocked main drains. If shutting off a fixture or your main valve doesn’t stop the leak—or you can’t isolate the problem—you should treat it as an emergency and contact us immediately.
How quickly can your emergency plumbers reach my home or business in Reliance?
Our dispatch system tracks all on-duty technicians across Reliance. Once we confirm your address, we assign the closest certified plumber and provide an ETA—typically 30–60 minutes within city limits and 60–90 minutes in surrounding rural areas, traffic and weather permitting. You will receive live updates by text so you know exactly when help will arrive.
Are your emergency services truly 24/7, including nights, weekends, and holidays?
Yes. We operate a dedicated 24-hour hotline staffed by trained coordinators, not an answering service. Our plumbers are scheduled in rotating shifts to ensure full coverage after hours, on weekends, and during public holidays. No matter when you call—2 a.m. on a Sunday or Christmas morning—an on-call technician is ready to respond.
What can I do to minimize damage while waiting for the plumber to arrive?
1. Shut off the closest isolation valve or the main water supply (usually near the water meter). 2. Turn off your water heater’s power or gas supply if a hot-water line is leaking. 3. Relieve pressure by opening a faucet on the lowest level of the property. 4. Move furniture, electronics, and valuables away from water-affected areas. 5. Place towels or buckets under leaks and avoid using electrical appliances if floors are wet. Never attempt complex repairs yourself—temporary containment is safer.
How much does an emergency call-out cost and will I get a quote first?
Our standard emergency call-out fee is disclosed when you phone us; it covers rapid dispatch, travel, and the initial assessment. After diagnosing the problem, the plumber provides a written, itemized quote for parts and labor before starting work. You can approve on the spot or decline with no hidden penalties (beyond the call-out fee). We accept major cards, EFTPOS, and digital wallets, and we offer interest-free payment plans for larger repairs.
Are your plumbers licensed and insured, and do you guarantee the repair work?
Every member of our Rapid-Response Team holds current state plumbing and gas-fitting licenses, undergoes background checks, and completes annual safety and customer-service training. We carry $10 million in public liability insurance. All workmanship is backed by a written 12-month warranty, and manufacturer warranties apply to any parts we supply. If a covered repair fails within the warranty period, we return at no charge to make it right.
