FAQs
What types of problems count as a plumbing emergency in Cumberland Gap?
Anything that poses an immediate risk to your property, health, or safety is an emergency. This includes burst or leaking pipes, overflowing toilets, sewage backups, water heater failures, frozen pipes, gas leaks, and any sudden loss of water service. If water (or sewage) is flowing where it shouldn’t, shut off the main valve and call us right away.
How fast can an emergency plumber reach my home or business in Cumberland Gap?
Because we keep fully stocked trucks on standby in and around Cumberland Gap, our on-call technicians can usually be at your door within 60 minutes—often sooner. Travel times vary with traffic and weather, but dispatch will give you a realistic ETA and send text updates so you know exactly when help is arriving.
What should I do while I wait for the plumber to arrive?
First, turn off the main water shut-off valve (usually located where the water line enters the building) to stop the flow. If you safely can, unplug electrical devices near standing water. Avoid using chemical drain cleaners—they can worsen damage and create hazards. Mop or towel up excess water to limit property damage, and if a gas smell is present, leave the building immediately and call 911 before calling us.
Are your emergency plumbing services available 24/7, including weekends and holidays?
Yes. Plumbing disasters don’t keep office hours, so neither do we. Our Cumberland Gap emergency hotline is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Whether it’s 2 a.m. on a holiday or Sunday afternoon, a live dispatcher will answer and send a licensed technician out right away.
How much will an emergency plumbing visit cost?
We charge a small flat emergency call-out fee that covers round-the-clock availability, plus upfront, by-the-job pricing for the actual repair. Once the technician diagnoses the problem onsite, you’ll receive a written quote before any work begins—no surprises. We also accept major credit cards, checks, and offer financing options for larger, unexpected repairs.
Are your emergency plumbers licensed, insured, and equipped for same-day repairs?
Absolutely. All of our Cumberland Gap technicians hold current Tennessee plumbing licenses, carry full liability and workers’ compensation insurance, and undergo background checks. Our service vans stock common pipe fittings, water heater parts, drain-clearing tools, and leak-detection equipment, allowing us to solve most emergencies on the first visit without having to source parts later.
