FAQs
What plumbing problems are considered an emergency and require immediate service in Dunlap?
Any issue that risks flooding, property damage, loss of essential water supply, or health hazards is an emergency. Common examples include burst or frozen pipes, overflowing toilets, sewer line backups, water heater leaks, gas line leaks, and major faucet or fixture failures. If shutting off the fixture’s local valve does not stop water or you smell gas, call our 24/7 emergency line right away.
How quickly can your plumbers reach my home or business in Dunlap during an emergency?
We maintain on-call technicians around the clock and strategically stage service vehicles within the Dunlap area. In most cases, we can arrive within 60 minutes of your call—often sooner for addresses inside the city limits. Our dispatcher will give you an accurate ETA when you phone, and you will receive text or phone updates while the plumber is en route.
What should I do while waiting for the emergency plumber to arrive?
1. Shut off the main water valve (usually near the water meter or where the main line enters your home) to stop active leaks. 2. Turn off the water heater’s gas or electric supply if it is leaking. 3. Open faucets on the lowest floor to relieve pipe pressure. 4. Move valuables, electronics, and furniture away from standing water. 5. Do NOT use chemical drain cleaners or attempt gas-line repairs yourself. 6. If sewage is backing up, keep children and pets away from the area to avoid health risks. Taking these steps can minimize damage until our licensed Dunlap technician arrives.
How much does emergency plumbing service cost?
Emergency service involves an after-hours diagnostic fee that covers the rapid dispatch and first hour of on-site assessment. Pricing then depends on the repair’s complexity, parts required, and labor time. We always provide a written, upfront estimate before starting work. Typical emergency repairs in Dunlap range from $150–$350 for minor fixes (e.g., clearing a severe clog) to $800+ for extensive burst-pipe replacements. We accept cash, major credit cards, and most insurance-issued checks if the repair is covered by your homeowners policy.
Are your Dunlap emergency plumbers licensed and insured?
Yes. Every technician holds an up-to-date Tennessee (or Illinois, if your Dunlap is in IL) plumbing license, OSHA safety certification, and full liability and workers’ compensation insurance. Our company is bonded and carries additional umbrella coverage for commercial properties, ensuring you are fully protected on every job.
Do you guarantee the emergency repair work?
Absolutely. All emergency repairs come with the same workmanship warranty as our scheduled services—one year on labor and manufacturer warranty on parts we supply. Should any covered issue recur within that period, we will return to your Dunlap location at no additional charge to make it right.
