FAQs
What is flat-rate pricing and how does it benefit me during a plumbing emergency?
Flat-rate pricing means we quote one fixed price for the entire emergency repair before any work begins. The quote is based on the specific task—not on how long the job takes—so you don’t have to worry about the clock running while the plumber works. In a stressful situation such as a burst pipe or overflowing toilet, flat-rate pricing gives you price certainty, eliminates surprise labor charges, and lets you make an informed decision right away.
Do your flat-rate emergency plumbing prices apply 24/7, including nights, weekends, and holidays?
Yes. Our flat-rate structure is the same at 2 p.m. on a Tuesday as it is at 2 a.m. on a Sunday. We know plumbing disasters don’t wait for business hours, so our pricing does not change based on the time or day you call. When you reach out from anywhere in Vonore, you’ll get the same transparent quote—no after-hours surcharges or hidden weekend fees.
How quickly can your plumbers arrive in Vonore for an emergency call?
Because we station fully stocked service vehicles throughout Monroe County, we can typically be at your Vonore home or business within 60 minutes of your call—often sooner. Our dispatch system immediately assigns the closest on-call technician, and GPS tracking ensures the fastest route. We’ll also send you a text or call with the technician’s estimated arrival time so you know help is on the way.
Are there any additional fees beyond the quoted flat-rate price?
No. The price we quote up front includes the service call, diagnosis, labor, standard parts, and clean-up. The only time the amount might change is if, during the repair, we discover a separate issue that wasn’t originally visible. In that rare case, we explain the situation, present a new flat rate, and get your approval before proceeding. If you decline additional work, you still pay only the original agreed-upon amount for the completed repair.
What types of emergency plumbing problems are covered under your flat-rate pricing?
Our flat-rate menu covers the most common urgent plumbing issues, including burst or leaking pipes, sewer line backups, clogged or overflowing toilets, water heater failures, gas line leaks, sump pump breakdowns, and severe drain blockages. If you’re unsure whether your situation is covered, call our 24-hour dispatcher. We’ll assess the problem over the phone, let you know if it falls under a flat-rate item, and give you the exact cost before we roll a truck.
How do I schedule an emergency service and what information should I have ready when I call?
Simply call our 24/7 emergency number or use the "Emergency Service" button on our website. Be prepared to provide your name, address in Vonore, callback number, and a brief description of the issue (e.g., “water spraying from under the kitchen sink,” “sewage backing up in bathtub”). If you can, shut off your home’s main water valve or the fixture’s supply valve to minimize damage. Once we have your information, we’ll quote the flat rate, dispatch the nearest licensed plumber, and stay in touch until the job is complete.
