FAQs

What constitutes a plumbing emergency?

A plumbing emergency typically includes situations such as a burst pipe, severe leak, backed-up sewer, or major water heater malfunction. These issues can cause significant water damage or disrupt your essential water services, requiring immediate attention to prevent further harm.

How quickly can an emergency plumber arrive at my location in Erwin?

Response times can vary, but most emergency plumbing services aim to arrive within an hour of your call. Our team in Erwin is on standby 24/7 and prioritizes urgent situations to provide fast, effective solutions.

What should I do while waiting for the emergency plumber to arrive?

While waiting for the plumber, you should turn off the main water supply to prevent further damage. If possible, try to contain any leaks by using buckets, towels, or other materials. Also, turn off any electrical appliances near the affected area to reduce the risk of electrical hazards.

Are emergency plumbing services more expensive than regular services?

Emergency plumbing services often come at a premium due to the immediate nature of the response and the need for plumbers to be available at all hours. However, the cost can vary depending on the severity of the issue and the time required to resolve it. It's always best to inquire about pricing upfront to avoid any surprises.

Can I handle a plumbing emergency myself before calling a professional?

While some minor plumbing issues can be managed temporarily, it's generally not advisable to attempt major repairs yourself. Improper handling can worsen the situation or lead to more expensive repairs. For serious issues like bursts, significant leaks, or sewage backups, it's best to call a professional immediately.

How can I prevent plumbing emergencies in the future?

Regular maintenance is key to preventing plumbing emergencies. This includes routinely checking for leaks, ensuring drains are clear of debris, and having your plumbing system inspected by a professional annually. Additionally, being mindful of what you flush or pour down the drains can help prevent blockages and other issues.

Jama S.

We used Hep when we had a plumbing emergency with our shower and the pipes in the wall. They arrived the same day, and came back early the next day to complete the work. The man who assisted me, Calvin, was very professional and thorough. He answered all my questions along the way, and was polite and fun to be around while he worked. All around, the job was done quickly and done well. I'm very happy with not just the level of service I received, but the quality. You can teach plumbing, but you can't teach good beside manner. Y'all have both. If you need plumbing work done? You need Hep.
