FAQs
What should I do first if my water heater starts leaking in Tazewell?
Turn off the water supply valve located on the cold-water line above the heater and switch off the power or gas to the unit at the breaker or gas shut-off. This stops further water damage and makes it safe for our technicians to work. Then call our 24/7 emergency line so a licensed Tazewell plumber can be dispatched immediately.
How fast can your emergency plumbers reach my home or business in Tazewell?
Because we keep an on-call crew stationed in the Tazewell area, a plumber is usually on site within 60 minutes of your call—often sooner inside city limits. Our dispatch system tracks the closest available technician to minimize response time, even during nights, weekends, and holidays.
Do you repair and install both gas and electric water heaters?
Yes. Our technicians are certified to diagnose, repair, and replace traditional tank, tankless, gas, electric, and hybrid heat-pump water heaters from all major manufacturers. We carry common parts on our service vehicles and back them with factory-approved tools and training.
Is same-day water heater replacement possible during an emergency?
In most cases, yes. We stock popular sizes (40-, 50-, and 75-gallon tanks) in our local warehouse and can deliver, permit, install, and haul away your old unit the same day if the existing heater is beyond repair. Tankless systems may take an extra day for proper gas sizing, venting, and electrical connections.
What warning signs mean I should call for emergency water heater service?
Call immediately if you notice any of the following: active leaks or pooling water, rust-colored or foul-smelling hot water, popping or banging noises from the tank, a sudden lack of hot water, the smell of gas near the unit, or scorch marks around burners or wiring. These issues can compromise safety or cause severe water damage.
Are your emergency plumbing rates higher at night or on weekends?
We charge a flat emergency service fee that covers travel and initial diagnostics, no matter the day or hour. After the assessment, you receive upfront pricing for any repairs or replacements. There are no hidden surcharges for nights, weekends, or holidays—transparency is part of our commitment to Tazewell customers.
