FAQs
Do you offer 24/7 emergency plumbing repairs in Deer Lodge, and how quickly can you arrive?
Yes. Our Deer Lodge team is on-call around the clock, 365 days a year. Once you place an emergency call, a licensed technician is typically dispatched within 15 minutes and can arrive anywhere in the Deer Lodge city limits in 60–90 minutes, traffic and weather permitting.
What kinds of water purification systems do you install or repair during an emergency visit?
We service and install whole-house carbon filters, reverse-osmosis (RO) systems, UV disinfection units, and point-of-use filters. Because many emergencies involve burst pipes or contaminated incoming water, we carry a stock of replacement cartridges, UV lamps, RO membranes, and critical valves on every truck so repairs or replacements can be completed on the spot.
How can I tell if my water is contaminated after a plumbing emergency?
Common warning signs include noticeable discoloration (brown, yellow, or milky water), unusual odors (chlorine, rotten-egg, or metallic smells), sediment particles in the glass, or sudden changes in taste. If any of these occur, stop using the water immediately, shut off the main supply if possible, and call us. We can perform on-site testing for bacteria, chlorine levels, pH, and dissolved solids to confirm whether the water is safe.
Will an emergency plumbing repair void my existing water purifier’s warranty?
No. Our plumbers are factory-trained on the major brands sold in Montana, and we use OEM parts whenever required. All work is documented and meets manufacturer specifications, so warranties remain intact. We also provide written certification of repairs that you can file with the manufacturer if needed.
What are the typical costs for emergency plumbing and water purification services in Deer Lodge?
Emergency service has a flat call-out fee that ranges from $99 to $149 depending on the time of day and holiday status. After arrival, labor is billed in 15-minute increments, and we provide a written estimate before work begins. Common repairs such as a burst copper pipe section plus a carbon filter cartridge replacement average $275–$425, whereas a full RO membrane swap might add $150–$200 in parts. All pricing is transparent, with no overtime surcharges on nights or weekends.
How can I prevent future plumbing emergencies and keep my water purification system running optimally?
Schedule an annual plumbing inspection every spring and a bi-annual check on your water purification system. Replace filter cartridges per manufacturer guidelines (usually every 6–12 months), sanitize RO storage tanks yearly, and test well or municipal water for bacteria and heavy metals at least once a year. We offer a Deer Lodge Protection Plan that includes priority emergency response, discounted parts, and two free system tune-ups annually.
