FAQs
What situations are considered a plumbing emergency and how quickly can you get to my Etowah home or business?
A plumbing emergency includes any issue that threatens safety, property, or the continuous use of water—burst or frozen pipes, major leaks, sewer backups, overflowing toilets, loss of hot water, and gas line leaks. Because every minute counts, our on-call team is stationed locally in Etowah and surrounding communities; in most cases we arrive within 60 minutes of your call, day or night.
Do you really operate 24/7, even on weekends and holidays?
Yes. Plumbing problems don’t follow a schedule, so neither do we. Our dispatch center is staffed around the clock, 365 days a year. Whether it’s 3 a.m. on a Sunday or Christmas morning, a licensed emergency plumber is ready to be sent to your Etowah address immediately after we confirm your details.
What can I do to limit water damage while I wait for the emergency plumber?
First, shut off the main water supply valve; it’s usually located near the water meter or where the main line enters your home. If you can’t find it, turn off the nearest isolation valve to the affected fixture. Next, unplug electrical devices near the leak and move valuables out of harm’s way. Place buckets or towels to catch dripping water and open cabinet doors under sinks to help pipes thaw if they’re frozen. Finally, avoid using chemical drain cleaners; they can worsen clogs and create safety hazards.
How much does an emergency plumbing call cost and will I know the price before work starts?
Our emergency diagnostic fee in Etowah covers travel, assessment, and a written estimate. Once we identify the problem, we present flat-rate pricing—no hourly surprises—and obtain your approval before beginning repairs. After-hours, weekend, or holiday surcharges are disclosed upfront, and we accept major credit cards, checks, and financing for larger repairs.
Are your plumbers licensed, insured, and experienced with older Etowah properties?
Absolutely. All technicians hold Tennessee state plumbing licenses, carry full liability and workers’ compensation insurance, and complete ongoing training in modern codes and safety standards. Many Etowah homes feature aging galvanized or polybutylene piping, and our team has decades of experience diagnosing and repairing these older systems without unnecessary demolition.
Will you have the parts to fix my emergency on the first visit?
Our service vans function as mobile warehouses stocked with high-use replacement parts—copper and PEX fittings, water heater elements, toilet fill valves, sump pumps, and more—covering 90% of common emergencies. For specialty items, we maintain supplier relationships in nearby Cleveland and Athens and can obtain most parts the same day, minimizing downtime.
