FAQs

What situations count as a true plumbing emergency and when should I call your Etowah team?

Call us anytime you are facing a sudden issue that threatens to damage your property, create an unsafe environment, or leave you without essential water or drainage. Examples include burst or frozen pipes, sewage backups, overflowing toilets you can’t stop, water heater leaks, gas-water heater smells of gas, and major leaks behind walls or ceilings. If you are unsure, call—our dispatcher will help you decide whether immediate service is needed.

Are your emergency plumbers really available 24/7 in Etowah?

Yes. Our live dispatch center is staffed around the clock, including nights, weekends, and all holidays. A licensed technician is always on call within Etowah city limits and the surrounding McMinn County area, so you’ll never reach an answering machine or have to wait until “regular business hours” for help.

How fast can your plumber get to my home or business once I place an emergency call?

Because we keep fully stocked service vehicles in Etowah, most emergencies are reached within 30–60 minutes. The dispatcher will give you an exact estimated arrival time based on GPS tracking of the technician’s truck and immediate traffic or weather conditions. If anything delays us, you’ll receive real-time updates by text or phone.

What should I do while waiting for the emergency plumber to arrive?

1) Shut off the main water valve (usually where the supply line enters the house) to stop flooding. 2) If the leak involves a gas water heater and you smell gas, turn off the gas supply valve and ventilate the area. 3) Switch off electricity to any area getting wet to prevent shock. 4) Mop or towel up standing water to limit damage. 5) Do NOT use chemical drain cleaners—they can make the problem worse or endanger the plumber. 6) Keep pets and children away from the affected area.

Do you charge extra for after-hours or holiday emergency calls?

We believe in transparent, upfront pricing. There is a modest emergency dispatch fee that covers travel and priority scheduling outside normal hours, but you will hear the total cost before any work begins. Once we are on site, the hourly labor rate does not increase just because a job extends late into the night. No hidden overtime or “surprise” fees—ever.

Are your emergency plumbing services guaranteed and are your plumbers licensed?

Absolutely. Every technician holds a Tennessee state plumbing license, carries full liability insurance, and has passed a background check. We stand behind our workmanship with a written one-year labor warranty, and most parts carry a manufacturer’s warranty of equal or greater length. If a repair we performed fails within the warranty period, we return and fix it at no additional cost to you.
