FAQs
What counts as a plumbing emergency and how fast can you get to my Huntland home or business?
A plumbing emergency is any situation that threatens to damage your property or disrupt essential water and drainage service—examples include burst pipes, backed-up sewer lines, overflowing toilets, gas or water leaks, and complete loss of water supply. Because water damage escalates rapidly, we treat these calls with top priority. Our on-call technicians are stationed around Huntland, allowing us to reach most addresses within 60 minutes of your call, day or night.
Are your emergency plumbing services really available 24/7, including weekends and holidays?
Yes. Plumbing disasters don’t keep office hours, so neither do we. Our dispatch center in Huntland is staffed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year—including nights, weekends, and all public holidays. Whether it’s 3 a.m. on a Sunday or Christmas morning, you will speak to a live representative who can send a qualified, licensed plumber to you immediately.
What steps should I take while waiting for the emergency plumber to arrive?
1. Shut off the main water valve (usually found near the water meter) to stop additional water flow. 2. Turn off the water heater to prevent element burn-out or pressure build-up, especially if you’ve shut the main valve. 3. If safe, unplug electrical devices and avoid standing water to reduce the risk of shock. 4. Contain minor leaks with buckets or towels and move valuables away from affected areas. 5. Do not use chemical drain cleaners—they can worsen blockages and create hazards for our technicians. 6. Keep the area accessible by clearing paths to the affected fixtures. These quick actions can limit damage and speed up repairs once we arrive.
Do you charge extra for after-hours or holiday emergency calls in Huntland?
We believe in transparent, upfront pricing. While an emergency service fee applies outside regular business hours, you will always receive a written estimate for approval before work begins. There are no hidden surcharges for mileage within the Huntland city limits, and we waive the call-out fee if you authorize the repair during the same visit. Discounts are available for seniors, military personnel, and repeat customers.
Can you resolve major issues like burst pipes or severe leaks during the first visit?
In most cases, yes. Our service vehicles are fully stocked with common pipe sizes, fittings, shut-off valves, high-capacity pumps, and leak-detection equipment so we can isolate, repair, or replace the damaged section immediately. For complex scenarios—such as slab leaks or extensive corrosion—our plumbers can provide a temporary fix to stop water damage and schedule comprehensive repairs once parts or permits are ready. Either way, you will leave the initial visit with the issue contained and a clear repair plan in writing.
Is your emergency repair work guaranteed, and will you help with insurance claims?
All emergency repairs come with a written 12-month workmanship warranty and manufacturer warranties on parts we supply. If a problem resurfaces due to our workmanship within that period, we return at no cost to you. We also document the damage with photos, moisture readings, and repair invoices that meet most insurers’ requirements. Upon request, we can speak directly with your adjuster to explain the cause of loss, the emergency actions taken, and the estimated repair costs, helping you navigate the claims process faster.
