FAQs

What should I do in case of a plumbing emergency?

In case of a plumbing emergency, the first step is to turn off the main water supply to prevent further damage. Locate the shut-off valve, usually found near the water meter, and turn it off. Then, call an emergency plumbing service immediately to get professional help. Our team in Gatlinburg is available 24/7 to respond to any urgent plumbing issues.

What constitutes a plumbing emergency?

A plumbing emergency includes scenarios such as burst pipes, severe leaks, clogged drains, overflowing toilets, gas leaks, and water heater failures. These situations require immediate attention to minimize damage and ensure the safety of your home and family. If you're unsure whether your issue is an emergency, it's best to err on the side of caution and contact a professional.

How quickly can a plumber arrive in an emergency?

Our emergency plumbing team aims to respond as quickly as possible, often within an hour, depending on your location in Gatlinburg and current traffic conditions. We understand the urgency of plumbing emergencies and strive to provide prompt and efficient service to mitigate any further damage.

Are emergency plumbing services more expensive than regular services?

Emergency plumbing services may be more expensive than regular services due to the urgency and after-hours nature of the work. The additional cost covers the plumber’s availability and immediate response to critical issues. However, the prompt intervention can save you from more expensive repairs and extensive water damage in the long run.

Can I try to fix a plumbing emergency myself before the plumber arrives?

While you can take some initial steps to mitigate damage, such as turning off the water supply or using a plunger for minor clogs, it is generally advised to wait for a professional plumber to handle the emergency. Attempting complex repairs without proper knowledge and tools can worsen the situation and lead to higher repair costs.

What preventative measures can I take to avoid plumbing emergencies?

To prevent plumbing emergencies, regularly inspect your plumbing systems for signs of wear and tear, such as leaks or rust. Schedule routine maintenance with a professional plumber to identify potential issues early. Avoid flushing inappropriate items down toilets and sinks, and be mindful of what goes into your garbage disposal. Proper insulation of pipes can also help prevent freezing and bursting during cold weather.

Harold C.

We had Hep fix a leaky faucet 10 months ago and the faucet started a drip leak again. We called HEP back to see what kind of warranty we may have and expected we were gonna have to pay again? Much to our surprise HEP quickly set up an appointment to come out and check it out, replaced the piston in the faucet, apologized for the inconvenience and had us sign a repair under warranty paper. I was definitely surprised and pleased with the entire process. Thank you Joe for taking care of your paying customer. A big Thank You to the HEP team.
