FAQs
What should I do first when a pipe bursts in my Tullahoma home?
Immediately turn off your home’s main water shut-off valve to stop the flow of water and reduce flooding. If water is near electrical outlets or appliances, cut power at the breaker panel for safety. Once everyone is safe, call our 24-hour emergency plumbing line so a licensed technician can be dispatched right away. While you wait, open faucets to relieve pressure and use towels or buckets to catch excess water.
How quickly can your emergency plumbers arrive in Tullahoma?
Because we are based in Tullahoma, our on-call technicians can typically reach any address in the city or surrounding Coffee and Franklin County areas within 60 minutes—often faster during normal traffic conditions. We keep fully stocked service vehicles on standby day and night, so there’s no time lost picking up parts or equipment.
Are your burst pipe repair services available 24/7, including holidays?
Yes. Pipe bursts rarely happen at convenient times, so our dispatch center operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year—Thanksgiving, Christmas, and all other holidays included. You’ll always reach a live representative who can schedule immediate service and provide guidance until the plumber arrives.
What signs indicate I may have a hidden pipe leak or burst?
Unexplained spikes in your water bill, damp spots on walls or ceilings, reduced water pressure, the sound of running water when fixtures are off, or warm areas on the floor can all signal a concealed leak or burst. If you notice any of these symptoms, shut off the main valve and call us for leak detection to prevent costly structural damage or mold growth.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover the cost of emergency burst pipe repairs?
Most standard homeowner policies in Tennessee cover sudden and accidental water damage, including burst pipes, as long as proper maintenance has been performed. Coverage typically includes the cost to access, repair, and restore affected areas. We can document the damage, provide detailed invoices, and work directly with your insurance adjuster to streamline the claims process.
How can I prevent my pipes from freezing and bursting during Tullahoma winters?
Insulate exposed pipes in attics, crawlspaces, and exterior walls with foam sleeves; disconnect and drain outdoor hoses; keep garage doors closed; and maintain indoor temperatures above 55°F even when you’re away. On nights below 20°F, let cold-water faucets drip slowly to keep water moving. If you’re leaving town, shut off the main water valve and drain the lines, or have someone check your home regularly.
