FAQs
What qualifies as a plumbing emergency in Oliver Springs?
Any situation that poses an immediate threat to your property, health, or safety is considered an emergency. This includes burst pipes, severe sewer backups, major leaks that can’t be contained, overflowing toilets you can’t stop, gas line issues, and water heater failures that risk flooding or scalding. If you’re unsure, call us—our dispatcher can help determine whether you need urgent service.
How quickly can your emergency plumbers reach my home in Oliver Springs?
Our on-call technicians are stationed throughout the Anderson and Roane County area, allowing us to reach most Oliver Springs addresses in 60 minutes or less—often much faster. When you call, we provide an accurate ETA based on your location, traffic, and weather conditions, and we keep you updated en route.
Are your emergency plumbing services available 24/7, including holidays?
Yes. Plumbing disasters don’t take days off, and neither do we. Our fully staffed emergency line operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year—including nights, weekends, and all major holidays—so you can always reach a licensed plumber when you need one.
What should I do while waiting for the plumber to arrive?
If safe to do so, shut off the main water valve to stop additional flooding. Turn off electricity to affected areas if water is near outlets or appliances. Try to contain leaking water with buckets or towels, and open windows or use fans to start drying surfaces. Avoid using chemical drain cleaners or DIY repairs that could make the problem worse. If you smell gas or suspect a gas leak, evacuate immediately and call 911 before calling us.
How much do emergency plumbing services cost in Oliver Springs?
Costs depend on factors such as the time of day, severity of the issue, parts required, and labor involved. We charge a set diagnostic fee for after-hours calls, which is applied toward the repair if you approve the work. Before any repair begins, you receive a written estimate detailing parts and labor, so there are no surprises. We also offer financing options for larger, unexpected repairs.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover emergency plumbing repairs?
Many policies cover sudden and accidental water damage (like a burst pipe) but exclude damage from neglected maintenance issues. Coverage typically applies to resulting water damage—not always the plumbing repair itself. We can provide detailed invoices, photographs, and a damage assessment to help you file a claim. Contact your insurance agent to confirm your specific coverage and deductible.
