FAQs
What situations qualify as a plumbing emergency in Cumberland Gap?
Any issue that threatens property damage, health, or safety is considered an emergency. This includes burst or frozen pipes, sewage backups, overflowing toilets, major leaks that can’t be contained, gas line problems, and complete loss of water service. If water is actively causing damage or you suspect a health or safety risk, call our 24/7 emergency line right away.
How fast can your emergency plumbers reach my home or business?
We maintain on-call crews stationed throughout the Cumberland Gap area. In most cases we arrive within 60 minutes of your call—often sooner for downtown and nearby neighborhoods. Our dispatch software continuously monitors traffic conditions so we can route the closest licensed technician to you immediately.
Are there extra fees for after-hours or holiday emergency service?
Because emergencies don’t stick to a 9-to-5 schedule, we do charge a modest after-hours diagnostic fee that reflects the higher staffing costs of nights, weekends, and holidays. However, we waive that fee if you authorize the recommended repair during the same visit. All pricing is given up front before work begins, so there are no surprises.
What should I do while waiting for the plumber to arrive?
1) Turn off the water supply at the nearest shut-off valve or at the main if necessary. 2) Switch off the water heater to prevent damage. 3) If safe, unplug electrical devices in the affected area. 4) Contain water with towels or buckets to reduce damage. 5) Do not use chemical drain cleaners; they can worsen the problem and pose hazards to our technicians. 6) Keep children and pets away from the affected zone.
Are your emergency plumbing repairs guaranteed?
Yes. All workmanship is backed by our written 1-year labor warranty, and we honor manufacturers’ warranties on any parts we supply. If an issue related to our repair reappears within that period, we return at no cost to you. We are fully licensed, bonded, and insured in Tennessee and Kentucky, giving you added peace of mind.
Can you help me prevent future plumbing emergencies?
Absolutely. After resolving the immediate issue, our technician will perform a complimentary visual inspection of your plumbing system and outline preventive steps—such as pipe insulation, water pressure regulation, or drain maintenance—to reduce the risk of future failures. We also offer affordable annual maintenance plans that include routine inspections, priority scheduling, and discounts on repairs.
