FAQs
What counts as a plumbing emergency and how fast can you reach my Ducktown address?
A plumbing emergency is any situation that threatens property damage, health, or loss of essential water service. Typical examples include burst or frozen pipes, overflowing toilets, sewer backups, sudden water-heater leaks, gas line leaks, and complete drain blockages. Because these issues can escalate quickly, our dispatch center in Ducktown operates 24/7. We have on-call technicians stationed across the city, allowing us to arrive at most locations within 60 minutes—often sooner in the downtown and riverfront districts.
Are your emergency plumbers licensed, insured, and background-checked?
Yes. Every technician we send to your home or business holds a current State of Tennessee plumbing license, carries at least $1 million in liability insurance, and undergoes annual background and drug screening. We also enroll our staff in continuing-education programs to ensure they’re up to date on local Ducktown codes, modern diagnostic equipment, and the safest repair techniques.
What should I do before the plumber arrives to minimize damage?
1. Shut off the main water valve (usually located near the water meter) to stop additional flooding. 2. Turn off electricity to affected areas if water is near outlets or appliances. 3. Open nearby faucets to relieve pressure if you suspect a pipe burst. 4. Contain water with towels or buckets and move valuables or electronics to a dry place. 5. Avoid chemical drain cleaners—they can worsen clogs and create hazardous fumes. After these steps, wait in a safe area; our technician will take over as soon as they arrive.
Do emergency calls cost more after hours, on weekends, or during holidays?
We apply a small flat emergency dispatch fee outside our standard 8 a.m.–5 p.m. weekday window to cover overtime labor and rapid-response logistics. The fee is quoted up front when you call, so there are no surprise charges. All repair work is priced from a standardized, transparent menu that’s the same 24/7, and we obtain your approval before performing any service.
Can you work directly with my homeowner’s insurance for water-damage claims?
Absolutely. Our office staff can document the incident, provide photographs, moisture readings, and a detailed invoice that meets major insurer requirements. With your authorization, we’ll communicate directly with your adjuster to streamline the claims process and, in many cases, bill covered portions of the repair directly to your insurance company.
What parts of Ducktown do you cover, and do you carry parts on the truck?
We serve the entire Ducktown area—from the historic downtown corridor and Midtown neighborhoods to outer communities like Riverbend Heights and Lakeview Estates. Each emergency vehicle is stocked with common replacement parts—pipe fittings, water-heater valves, toilet components, and sewer augers—so 90 % of repairs can be completed on the first visit. If an uncommon part is needed, we have supplier accounts that offer after-hours will-call service to avoid extended downtime.
