FAQs
How quickly can your plumbers arrive for an emergency call-out in Cumberland Gap?
Because we keep dedicated on-call technicians in the Cumberland Gap area 24/7, our average arrival time is 45 minutes or less from the moment you confirm the service request. Heavy weather or remote mountain properties may add a small delay, but we will always give you a live ETA and text updates while we’re en route.
What types of plumbing emergencies do you handle?
Our licensed team is equipped for burst or frozen pipes, sewer backups, overflowing toilets, gas or water line leaks, water-heater failures, sump-pump malfunctions, and major drain clogs. If water, sewage, or gas is entering your home unexpectedly—or you have no water at all—consider it an emergency and call us immediately.
Are there extra fees for nights, weekends, or holidays?
We never charge a "show-up" fee for emergency calls in Cumberland Gap, regardless of the day or time. After-hours labor is billed at a slightly higher rate than standard business hours to cover the cost of keeping technicians on standby, but we always quote the full price before work begins so there are no surprises.
What should I do while waiting for the emergency plumber to arrive?
1) Shut off the main water supply valve (usually located near the water meter or where the line enters the house). 2) Turn off electricity to any affected areas if water is close to outlets or appliances. 3) Open faucets to relieve pressure if you have a burst pipe. 4) Place towels or buckets to contain leaking water. 5) Do NOT attempt DIY gas-line or sewer repairs; these pose serious safety risks. Our dispatcher can guide you through any additional steps over the phone.
Do you guarantee your emergency repair work?
Yes. All emergency services carry the same guarantees as scheduled work: a 1-year parts and labor warranty on repairs and manufacturer warranties on installed fixtures or equipment. If an issue we fixed reoccurs within that period, we will return at no cost to you.
