FAQs
What plumbing services do you provide in Sewanee?
Our Sewanee team handles everything from routine drain cleaning, leak detection, and fixture installations to full-scale repiping, water-heater replacement, sewer line repair, and 24/7 emergency service. Whether it’s a simple faucet drip or a major water-line break, we have the tools and licensed technicians to resolve the issue quickly and safely.
Are your plumbers licensed and insured?
Yes. All of our field technicians hold current Tennessee journeyman or master plumbing licenses, carry comprehensive liability insurance, and pass annual background and drug screenings. This protects your home and ensures every project meets state and local plumbing codes for the Sewanee area.
How fast can you respond to an emergency call in Sewanee?
We maintain an on-call crew that lives and works right here on the Cumberland Plateau, allowing us to reach most Sewanee addresses within 60 minutes—often faster for campus and downtown locations. Our service vans are fully stocked so we can complete the majority of emergency repairs on the first visit.
Do you offer upfront pricing and written estimates?
Absolutely. After assessing the problem, our technician will explain your repair or replacement options and provide a flat-rate, written quote before any work begins. There are no hidden fees; the price you approve is the price you pay, even if the job takes longer than expected.
Can you work on older Sewanee homes with original plumbing systems?
Yes. Sewanee has many historic residences with galvanized, cast-iron, or even lead piping. Our plumbers are trained to diagnose issues unique to older systems, recommend safe modernization strategies, and perform careful replacements that preserve your home’s architectural integrity while improving water quality and performance.
What maintenance tips help prevent plumbing problems in Sewanee?
1) Schedule an annual whole-house plumbing inspection to catch small leaks early. 2) Flush your water heater every 6–12 months to remove Cumberland Plateau mineral sediment. 3) Avoid chemical drain cleaners; use enzyme-based products or call us for professional cleaning. 4) In winter, insulate exposed pipes and let faucets drip during hard freezes to prevent bursts. 5) Install strainers in sinks and tubs to keep hair and debris out of your drains.
