FAQs
What types of problems qualify as a plumbing emergency?
Any issue that threatens health, safety, or major property damage should be treated as an emergency. In Dunlap this typically includes burst or frozen pipes, sewer line backups, overflowing toilets, gas-water heater leaks, sudden loss of water pressure, and visible water coming through ceilings or walls. Because these problems can escalate quickly, call us as soon as you notice them.
Do you really offer 24/7 emergency plumbing service in Dunlap and the surrounding Peoria County area?
Yes. Our dispatch center is staffed around the clock, including weekends and holidays. No matter when your emergency occurs, we have licensed plumbers on call who live and work in Dunlap or nearby communities, allowing us to respond even during severe weather or late-night hours.
How quickly can an emergency plumber get to my home or business in Dunlap?
Average response time inside Dunlap is 45–60 minutes. During severe storms or regional power outages it may run slightly longer, but we prioritize true emergencies such as active flooding or sewer backups. Our GPS-equipped service vehicles let us send the closest available technician to you immediately.
Are emergency plumbing visits more expensive than standard service calls?
After-hours work does carry a modest premium because it requires overtime staffing and immediate mobilization. However, we keep pricing transparent: you’ll receive a clear, written estimate before any repair starts. Preventing additional water damage usually saves far more than the small extra cost of urgent service.
What can I do to limit damage while waiting for the plumber to arrive?
1) Shut off the main water valve (usually located near the water meter) or the fixture’s isolation valve. 2) Turn off electricity to any area where water is pooling. 3) Open faucets to relieve residual pressure. 4) Use towels or buckets to capture water and move valuables out of harm’s way. 5) Do not use chemical drain cleaners or attempt gas-line repairs yourself—both can worsen the problem.
Are your emergency plumbers licensed and insured?
Absolutely. All technicians hold current Illinois plumbing licenses, carry full liability and workers’ compensation insurance, and undergo background checks. They arrive in uniformed service vans stocked with industrial wet vacs, pipe-freezing equipment, and common replacement parts so most emergencies can be solved on the first visit.
