FAQs
How quickly can your Dayton emergency plumbers arrive at my home or business?
Because we maintain on-call crews 24/7 within the Dayton metro area, a licensed technician can usually be at your door within 60 minutes of your call—often sooner for addresses inside I-675 or I-75 corridors. When you contact us, our dispatcher will give you an exact estimated time of arrival based on live GPS tracking of the nearest service vehicle.
What plumbing issues are considered emergencies and should not wait until regular business hours?
Any situation that risks flooding, sewage back-up, loss of potable water, or safety hazards should be treated as an emergency. Typical examples include burst or frozen pipes, gas or water heater leaks, overflowing toilets, sewer line blockages, sump pump failure, and water leaking through ceilings. Addressing these problems immediately helps prevent extensive water damage, mold growth, or health risks.
Do you charge extra for after-hours, weekend, or holiday service in Dayton?
We believe transparent pricing is essential during stressful situations. Our emergency diagnostic fee is slightly higher outside normal business hours to cover overtime labor, but you will always receive the total repair estimate before any work begins. There are no hidden ‘show-up’ or ‘disposal’ fees—what we quote is what you pay, even on holidays.
What steps should I take while waiting for the emergency plumber to arrive?
1) Shut off the main water valve—usually located near the water meter or where the main line enters the building. 2) Turn off electricity to affected areas if water is near outlets or appliances. 3) Open faucets to relieve pressure in the lines. 4) Place towels or buckets to catch leaks and move valuables out of harm’s way. 5) Do not use chemical drain cleaners or attempt gas line repairs yourself; these can cause additional damage or safety hazards.
Are your emergency plumbing services covered by homeowners insurance?
Many water-damage events, such as sudden pipe bursts, are covered under standard homeowners policies, while gradual leaks or neglect may not be. We provide detailed digital invoices and photos that you can forward to your insurer. If needed, we can also communicate directly with your adjuster to explain the cause of loss and the repairs performed.
What qualifications and warranties do you offer for emergency repairs?
All of our Dayton technicians are state-licensed plumbers who undergo annual background checks and ongoing training in the latest codes and safety practices. We are fully insured and bonded. Emergency repairs come with the same workmanship warranty as scheduled work—one year on labor and the manufacturer’s warranty on parts—so you can rest assured the fix will last long after the crisis is over.
