FAQs
What situations are considered a true plumbing emergency in Blaine and how quickly can you get here?
Any issue that risks flooding, property damage, or loss of essential service is an emergency—burst or frozen pipes, sewer backups, overflowing toilets, lack of water, leaking water heaters, or gas-line leaks. Because our technicians are based right here in Blaine, we dispatch immediately and can usually be on site within 60 minutes, day or night.
What should I do while waiting for the emergency plumber to arrive?
First, shut off the closest water supply valve; if you can’t locate it, turn off the main valve where the line enters your home. Next, shut down electrical breakers in areas that are getting wet, and move valuables out of harm’s way. Avoid using chemical drain cleaners or trying DIY fixes on gas or sewer lines—these can make the situation more hazardous. Finally, take photos for possible insurance claims and keep children and pets clear of the work area.
Are your emergency plumbing services really available 24/7, even on weekends and holidays?
Yes. Our call center is staffed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and our on-call teams rotate to ensure a licensed plumber is always ready. Nights, weekends, Thanksgiving morning, or New Year’s Eve—we pick up and roll out within minutes because water and sewage problems don’t keep office hours.
How much does an emergency visit cost and will I know the price before work begins?
We charge a modest diagnostic fee that is waived once you approve the repair. After assessing the problem, the technician provides a flat-rate quote in writing—no hourly surprises. Pricing depends on factors such as parts, labor complexity, and after-hours timing, but you’ll always have the final number before we lift a wrench.
Are your emergency plumbers licensed and insured, and do you guarantee their work?
Absolutely. Every technician holds current Minnesota plumbing and gas-fitting licenses and undergoes background checks and ongoing safety training. The company carries full liability and workers’ compensation coverage. All emergency repairs include a written workmanship guarantee—if the same issue reappears within the warranty period, we’ll return at no charge.
Can you coordinate with my homeowner’s insurance if water damage occurs?
Yes. We document the incident with photos, moisture readings, and a detailed repair report, then work directly with most major insurance carriers to streamline your claim. While policy coverage varies, our office can provide the paperwork adjusters need and recommend local water-damage restoration partners if extensive drying or reconstruction is required.
