FAQs
What should I do immediately if a supply line bursts in my Tullahoma home?
First, locate and turn off your main water shut-off valve to stop the flow and minimize water damage. If the leak is near any electrical outlets or appliances, switch off power at the breaker panel for safety. Next, open nearby faucets to relieve pressure in the lines, then call our 24/7 emergency plumbing team. While you wait for us to arrive, place towels or buckets to contain water and take photos of the damage for insurance documentation.
Do you offer 24/7 emergency plumbing service for burst pipes in Tullahoma?
Yes. Our licensed plumbers are on-call around the clock—including nights, weekends, and holidays—to handle burst supply lines and other urgent plumbing issues anywhere in the greater Tullahoma area. Call our emergency number and you will speak with a live dispatcher who can send a technician immediately.
How quickly can your plumbers arrive after I call?
Because our service trucks are strategically staged throughout Coffee and Franklin counties, we can typically reach most Tullahoma addresses within 60 minutes of your call. During periods of extreme weather or heavy call volume, we’ll give you an accurate ETA and keep you updated en route.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover the cost of repairing a burst supply line?
Most homeowner’s policies cover sudden, accidental water damage caused by a burst supply line, including repairs to walls, floors, and personal property. Coverage for the actual plumbing repair varies by policy. We can provide detailed invoices, photographs, and a written cause-of-loss report to help you file your claim and work directly with adjusters if needed.
What are common warning signs that a supply line is about to fail?
Watch for unexplained drops in water pressure, whistling or banging noises (water hammer), visible corrosion or rust spots on exposed piping, damp spots under sinks or on ceilings, and flexible braided hoses that appear bulged, cracked, or frayed. If you notice any of these symptoms, schedule an inspection before a complete rupture occurs.
How can I prevent future burst supply lines in my home or business?
Replace aging galvanized or polybutylene pipes with modern copper or PEX, upgrade to stainless-steel braided supply hoses, install a pressure-reducing valve if your water pressure exceeds 80 psi, insulate exposed pipes to guard against winter freezes, and schedule an annual plumbing inspection. We also recommend installing an automatic shut-off valve with leak sensors for added peace of mind.
