FAQs
What types of situations count as a plumbing emergency in Rockwood?
Any issue that threatens to cause water damage, property loss, or health concerns is treated as an emergency. Common examples include burst or leaking pipes, overflowing toilets, sewage backups, collapsed drains, frozen pipes, and water heater failures that leak or prevent hot‐water supply. If shutting off a fixture’s valve doesn’t stop the problem, call us immediately—our emergency team is on standby 24/7.
How fast can your well-stocked trucks reach my Rockwood home or business?
Our dispatch center monitors service calls around the clock. Because our technicians live and work in and around Rockwood, typical arrival time is 30–60 minutes after your call, depending on traffic and weather. The technician’s GPS tablet automatically selects the fastest route, and our live tracking system lets the dispatcher update you with an accurate ETA while you wait.
What parts and tools are carried on your trucks to handle emergencies on the first visit?
Each truck is set up like a rolling warehouse. We stock more than 2,000 different parts, fittings, and repair kits: copper, PEX, and PVC pipe and couplings; shut-off valves; toilet and faucet rebuild kits; water-heater elements and thermostats; sump pumps; garbage disposals; leak-detection gear; drain augers and hydro-jetting hose; and a full range of hand and power tools. This inventory lets us fix 90% of emergency calls in a single visit without running to a supply house.
Are your emergency plumbing services truly 24/7, even on holidays and weekends?
Yes. Plumbing disasters don’t keep office hours, so neither do we. Our phones are answered live every hour of every day, including Thanksgiving, Christmas, and long holiday weekends. A licensed, background-checked technician is always on call with a stocked truck, ready to be dispatched the moment you need help.
How is pricing handled for emergency plumbing calls in Rockwood?
We charge a flat emergency diagnostic fee that covers travel and a thorough on-site inspection. After identifying the problem, we give you an upfront price from our standard rate book—no open-ended hourly billing. Senior, military, and first-responder discounts apply, and we accept all major credit cards as well as financing for larger repairs. You approve the price before any work begins, so there are no surprises on your invoice.
What should I do while waiting for the plumber to arrive?
1. Shut off the closest isolation valve or the home’s main water supply to stop active leaks. 2. Turn off the water heater’s power or gas supply if it is leaking or overheating. 3. Move belongings out of standing water to reduce damage, and place towels or buckets under drips. 4. Avoid using sinks, toilets, or appliances attached to a backed-up drain line. 5. Never use chemical drain cleaners—they can worsen clogs and create hazards for the technician. 6. Keep children and pets clear of the affected area for safety. If you have any doubt about a shut-off location or next step, stay on the line with our dispatcher for guidance until the technician arrives.
