FAQs
How quickly can your emergency plumbers reach my home or business in Briceville?
Because we station technicians throughout Anderson County, a licensed plumber can usually be on-site in Briceville within 60 minutes—often sooner. Our dispatch center is staffed 24/7, so the moment you call we assign the closest available technician, provide GPS directions, and keep you updated with arrival-time text alerts.
What plumbing problems are considered emergencies?
Any issue that threatens safety, property, or sanitation qualifies as an emergency. Common examples include burst or frozen pipes, sewage backups, gas line leaks, no water pressure, major water heater leaks, overflowing toilets that will not unclog, and sump pump failures during heavy rain. If you are unsure, call us; we will triage the situation and advise whether immediate service is necessary.
Are your plumbers licensed and insured for work in Tennessee?
Yes. Every field technician holds a current Tennessee Journeyman or Master Plumbing license, and our company maintains full general-liability and workers-compensation coverage. We also carry specialized insurance for sewer cameras, hydro-jetters, and other high-value equipment, so you are fully protected against accidental damage or injuries on your property.
How are emergency service costs calculated, and will I receive an estimate before work starts?
We charge a small, flat emergency dispatch fee that covers travel and after-hours logistics. Once the plumber diagnoses the problem, you receive a written, upfront estimate that breaks down parts, labor, and any overtime rates. No work begins until you authorize it. We also honor manufacturer warranties and apply eligible coupons or membership discounts right on the spot.
Can you handle specialized systems such as well pumps, septic lines, or tankless water heaters during an emergency call?
Absolutely. Our service trucks are stocked with spare control boards, pressure switches, jet pump impellers, sewer ejector parts, and descaling kits for tankless units. Whether your property uses municipal water, a private well, or a septic tank, we carry the diagnostic tools and replacement parts needed for most repairs in a single visit.
What should I do to minimize damage while waiting for the emergency plumber to arrive?
1) Shut off the home’s main water valve (usually located near the meter or where the main line enters). 2) If the water heater is leaking, turn off its cold-water supply and switch the unit to the "pilot" or “off” position. 3) Open cold-water faucets downstairs to drain remaining pressure. 4) Move electronics, furniture, and valuables away from standing water. 5) Use towels or a wet/dry vacuum to reduce pooling. 6) Do not use chemical drain cleaners or attempt gas-line repairs on your own—both can worsen the hazard. Our technician will take it from there.
