FAQs
What qualifies as a plumbing emergency in Rogersville?
Any situation that could result in immediate damage to your home or pose a safety risk is considered a plumbing emergency. Examples include major water leaks, burst pipes, sewage backups, and non-functional water heaters during freezing temperatures. If you’re unsure, it’s always best to err on the side of caution and call a professional plumber.
How quickly can an emergency plumber respond to my call?
Our emergency plumbers strive to arrive as soon as possible after receiving your call—often within the hour, depending on traffic and the time of day. We understand that plumbing disasters can’t wait, so we prioritize emergency calls to provide immediate assistance and limit potential damage.
What should I do if a pipe bursts before the plumber arrives?
The first step is to shut off the main water supply valve to stop the flow of water and prevent further flooding or damage. Next, turn off any electricity in the affected area to avoid electrical hazards. Then, remove any valuables from the water’s path and try to soak up excess water with towels or a wet vacuum. Once you’ve done these steps, our emergency plumber will take over and fix the issue upon arrival.
Are emergency plumbing services more expensive than regular services?
Emergency plumbing services may have additional fees or higher rates due to the immediate response, after-hours availability, and the need for on-call professionals to address urgent issues. However, the potential cost of water damage or health hazards often makes prompt repairs the more cost-effective solution in the long run.
How can I prevent plumbing emergencies in the future?
Regular maintenance is key to avoiding emergencies. Schedule annual inspections, promptly fix minor leaks, and avoid flushing non-flushable items down the toilet or pouring grease down drains. Also, maintain adequate water pressure and insulate your pipes during cold winters to prevent freezing and bursting. A proactive approach can save you time, money, and stress.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover emergency plumbing repairs?
Coverage varies by policy and the cause of the damage. Most policies cover sudden and accidental water damage from burst pipes but might exclude damage due to negligence or unresolved leaks. Check with your insurance provider to understand your policy’s specifics. Our team can provide documentation of repairs to help with any insurance claims.
