FAQs

What situations are considered a plumbing emergency that can cause water damage?

Any event where water is leaking, flooding, or backing up uncontrollably is an emergency. Common examples include burst or frozen pipes, slab leaks, overflowing toilets, ruptured water heaters, broken supply lines, and sewer backups. These issues can soak drywall, flooring, and structural framing within minutes, leading to mold and costly repairs if not handled right away.

I have a major leak—what should I do before the emergency plumber arrives?

First, shut off the main water valve (usually located where the water line enters your home or near the water meter). This stops additional water from entering the system. Next, turn off electricity in any area that’s getting wet to avoid shock hazards. If safe, place buckets under active drips, and move furniture or valuables out of the path of water. Finally, take photos or videos for insurance documentation and call our Sweetwater emergency line so we can dispatch a technician immediately.

How fast can your emergency plumbing team get to my Sweetwater home or business, and are you really available 24/7?

Yes. Our dispatch center is staffed around the clock—including nights, weekends, and holidays. Because our technicians live and work in the Sweetwater area, average arrival time is 30–60 minutes, depending on traffic and weather. We track trucks by GPS and will provide text updates so you know exactly when help is on the way.

Do you handle the water extraction and dry-out after fixing the leak, and will you work with my insurance company?

Absolutely. We are both licensed plumbers and certified water-damage restoration specialists. After stopping the leak, we can extract standing water, set up industrial drying equipment, and perform moisture mapping to ensure every surface is dry. We document the loss and communicate directly with your insurance adjuster, providing photos, moisture readings, and an itemized estimate to streamline your claim.

How do you locate hidden leaks that may be damaging walls or foundations?

We use non-destructive tools such as acoustic leak detectors, infrared thermal cameras, and moisture meters. These technologies allow us to pinpoint leaks inside walls, under concrete slabs, or behind cabinets without unnecessary demolition. Early detection minimizes structural damage and reduces the overall cost of repairs.

What will emergency water-damage plumbing cost, and do you provide upfront pricing?

Because every emergency is different, costs vary based on factors like the location of the leak, extent of water damage, and required repairs. However, we never begin work without your approval. After a rapid on-site assessment, we present a clear, written estimate that includes labor, materials, and any equipment rental. We waive the service call fee if you approve the repair, and we offer financing options for larger projects so you can restore your property without delay.
