FAQs
What counts as a plumbing emergency and how do I know when to call?
Any situation that risks water damage, property loss, or loss of essential services is an emergency. This includes burst or leaking pipes, sewer backups, overflowing toilets, no water supply, gas leaks, or water heater failures that can’t be contained. If shutting off the fixture or your main shut-off valve doesn’t stop the problem—or you’re unsure how—call us immediately.
How fast can your emergency plumbers reach me in Decherd?
We have a dedicated on-call team stationed in or near Decherd 24/7. In most cases we arrive within 60 minutes of your call, often sooner. When you contact us, our dispatcher will give you a live ETA and keep you updated while the technician is en route.
What should I do while waiting for the plumber to arrive?
1) Shut off the closest isolation valve or the home’s main water shut-off. 2) Turn off electricity in flooded areas if you can do so safely. 3) Open faucets to relieve pressure. 4) Move valuables out of harm’s way. 5) Avoid using chemical drain cleaners or DIY fixes that can worsen damage. If you suspect a gas leak, evacuate immediately and call 911 before calling us.
Do you charge extra for nights, weekends, or holidays?
Because true plumbing emergencies can happen anytime, we maintain the same transparent pricing structure 24/7. There is a modest emergency dispatch fee, but no hidden after-hours surcharges or inflated rates. We provide a written estimate before we start work so you know the exact cost.
Are your emergency plumbers licensed, insured, and qualified?
Yes. All technicians are Tennessee-licensed journeyman or master plumbers, background-checked, drug-tested, and fully insured for liability and workers’ compensation. They travel in stocked service vans, allowing most emergencies to be resolved in a single visit.
