FAQs
What should I do immediately if a water supply line bursts in my Shelbyville home?
First, turn off the home’s main water shut-off valve to stop the flow and minimize flooding. Next, switch off power to any affected areas if water is near electrical outlets or appliances. After those safety steps, call our emergency plumbing hotline—we’re based in Shelbyville and can dispatch a licensed plumber right away. While waiting, open faucets to relieve residual pressure and place towels or buckets to catch water and limit damage.
How fast can your emergency plumbers reach my property in Shelbyville?
Our on-call technicians are strategically positioned throughout Shelbyville. In most cases we arrive within 45 minutes, often sooner for addresses inside the city limits. When you call, our dispatcher provides a real-time ETA and keeps you updated until the plumber arrives.
Are your emergency plumbing services really available 24/7, even on holidays?
Yes. Plumbing emergencies don’t follow business hours, so neither do we. Our phones are staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week—including nights, weekends, and all major holidays. You’ll always reach a live dispatcher who can send a certified plumber to your location.
What warning signs suggest a supply line may soon burst?
Watch for unexplained drops in water pressure, hissing or banging (“water hammer”) noises, visible corrosion or rust on exposed pipes, damp spots on walls or ceilings, and unusually high water bills. If you notice any of these, schedule an inspection before the line fails and causes a gusher.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover the repair costs for a burst supply line?
Coverage varies by policy, but many standard homeowner policies in Tennessee cover sudden and accidental water damage, including burst pipes. They typically pay for water remediation and pipe repairs, but not for fixing long-standing maintenance issues. We document the damage, provide detailed invoices, and can work directly with your insurer to streamline your claim.
How can I prevent future supply line emergencies?
Have your plumbing inspected annually, especially if your home is over 20 years old. Replace flexible supply hoses every 5–7 years with braided stainless-steel versions. Install a whole-house pressure regulator if your water pressure routinely exceeds 80 psi. Finally, know where your main shut-off valve is located and ensure every family member can operate it in an emergency.
