FAQs
What qualifies as a plumbing emergency in Georgetown?
Any situation that threatens immediate water damage, safety, or loss of essential plumbing functions is considered an emergency. Examples include burst or frozen pipes, severe leaks that cannot be isolated, overflowing toilets or sewer backups, water heater failures that may cause flooding, gas line leaks, and loss of water supply to the entire property. If the issue can cause structural damage, pose health risks, or render your home uninhabitable, call for emergency service right away.
How fast can your emergency plumbers reach my Georgetown property?
Our on-call technicians are strategically dispatched throughout Georgetown and the surrounding area. In most cases we can arrive within 60 minutes of your call, often sooner for addresses inside the city limits. When you call, our dispatcher will give you an exact estimated arrival time based on real-time GPS tracking of the nearest available technician.
What steps should I take while waiting for the emergency plumber?
1. Shut off the closest water supply valve or the main shut-off if the leak is severe. 2. If you suspect a gas leak, turn off the gas supply, avoid open flames, and ventilate the area. 3. Switch off electricity to affected areas if water is near outlets or appliances. 4. Place buckets or towels to contain water and minimize damage. 5. Avoid using chemical drain cleaners; they can worsen clogs and create hazards. 6. Take photos of the damage for insurance documentation. These actions can reduce property damage and help our technician resolve the problem faster.
Are emergency plumbing services more expensive than regular appointments?
Because emergencies require immediate response and often occur outside standard business hours, there is typically a modest premium for after-hours, weekend, or holiday service. We believe in transparent pricing: our technician will assess the situation and provide an upfront, written estimate before any work begins. There are no hidden fees, and you only pay for the work you authorize. Ask about our financing options and maintenance plans that can reduce future emergency costs.
Do you provide 24/7 service, including weekends and holidays?
Yes. Plumbing disasters don’t keep business hours, and neither do we. Our licensed, background-checked plumbers are on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year—including nights, weekends, and holidays. A live representative will answer your call at any time, and a qualified technician will be dispatched immediately.
Do you guarantee your emergency plumbing repairs?
Absolutely. All emergency repairs come with the same workmanship warranty we offer on scheduled jobs. Parts are covered by the manufacturer’s warranty, and our labor is guaranteed for a minimum of one year. If a problem related to our repair reoccurs within the warranty period, we will return promptly at no additional cost to you. Your peace of mind and satisfaction are our top priorities.
