FAQs
What plumbing services do your skilled technicians offer in Friendsville?
Our Friendsville team handles the full spectrum of residential and light–commercial plumbing needs, including leak detection and repair, drain cleaning, water-heater installation and maintenance (tank-type and tankless), sewer line inspection and replacement, bathroom and kitchen fixture upgrades, sump-pump installation, backflow prevention testing, and whole-house repiping. If water runs through it, we can service or replace it.
Are your plumbers licensed, insured, and background-checked?
Yes. Every technician who enters your Friendsville home holds a Tennessee state plumbing license, carries full liability and workers-compensation insurance, and passes an extensive background and drug screening. We also require ongoing training in the latest codes, safety practices, and manufacturer certifications, so you can be confident the work is completed legally and safely.
How fast can you respond to a plumbing emergency in Friendsville?
We maintain a 24/7 live dispatch system and keep at least one fully stocked service van in the Friendsville area at all times. For most emergencies—burst pipes, sewage backups, or water-heater failures—we arrive within 60–90 minutes of your call. Our vans carry common replacement parts, allowing us to resolve over 85 % of emergency calls on the first visit.
What signs indicate I should call a professional plumber instead of attempting a DIY repair?
Call us if you notice (1) persistent low water pressure, (2) rusty or discolored water, (3) recurring clogs or slow drains in multiple fixtures, (4) water stains on ceilings or walls, (5) a sudden spike in your water bill, (6) foul odors coming from drains, or (7) noises like banging or whistling in the pipes. These issues often point to hidden leaks, pipe corrosion, or sewer line problems that require specialized tools and training to fix properly.
Do you provide upfront pricing and free estimates?
Absolutely. After inspecting the problem, your technician will present clear, written options—including scope of work, parts, labor, and warranty—before any work begins. Standard service calls include a modest diagnostic fee, which we waive when you approve the recommended repair. Larger projects such as water-heater replacements, sewer line work, or remodels come with no-obligation, free in-home estimates.
How can I keep my Friendsville home’s plumbing system in good shape between service visits?
• Avoid chemical drain cleaners; use enzyme-based products or a professional auger instead. • Install strainers in sinks and tub drains to catch hair and debris. • Flush only toilet paper—no wipes, cotton, or feminine products. • Schedule annual water-heater flushing to remove sediment, especially important in areas with Friendsville’s moderately hard water. • Insulate exposed pipes before winter to prevent freezing. • Test your water pressure annually; 40–60 psi is ideal. • Book a whole-home plumbing inspection every two years so small issues can be corrected before they turn into expensive repairs.
