FAQs
What should I do immediately when I discover an unexpected leak in my Jasper home or business?
First, shut off the closest water shut-off valve—or the main house valve if you can’t find the localized one—to stop the flow. If water is near electrical outlets or appliances, switch off power at the breaker panel. Move valuables out of harm’s way and place towels or buckets to contain the water. Once the situation is under control, call our 24/7 emergency line; provide details like leak location, severity, and whether electricity has been isolated so our team arrives fully prepared.
How fast can your emergency plumbers get to my property in Jasper?
We maintain on-call technicians throughout Jasper and the surrounding area around the clock. In most cases, a licensed plumber arrives within 60 minutes of your call—often sooner when traffic and weather allow. You’ll get a real-time ETA via text or phone, and our dispatcher will keep you updated until the technician is on site.
Are emergency plumbing services more expensive than standard appointments?
Emergency work typically carries a modest after-hours fee because it requires technicians to be available nights, weekends, and holidays. However, we keep the surcharge transparent and present an itemized estimate before any work begins. Stopping a leak immediately almost always saves money by preventing water damage, mold remediation, and higher utility bills, making timely emergency service the more cost-effective choice overall.
Can you repair every type of leak on the first visit?
We arrive with fully stocked service vans carrying common pipe fittings, shut-off valves, PEX, copper, and PVC materials, as well as soldering and crimping tools. That lets us fix 90%+ of leaks—burst supply lines, ruptured water-heater connections, leaking toilets, and slab leaks—during the initial visit. If a specialty part (e.g., a custom shower cartridge) is required, we will perform a reliable temporary fix, expedite the part, and schedule the final repair at your earliest convenience.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover emergency leak repairs?
Many policies cover sudden and accidental water damage, which includes repairing the leak’s source and associated property damage. Coverage varies, so call your insurer as soon as possible. We provide detailed invoices, photos, and a technician’s report to support your claim. If your policy requires prior authorization, we can speak directly with your adjuster to explain the urgency of the repair.
What can I do to prevent unexpected leaks in the future?
Schedule an annual whole-home plumbing inspection to spot corrosion, worn supply lines, and high water pressure. Replace rubber washing-machine hoses with braided stainless steel, insulate exposed pipes to guard against winter freezes, and flush your water heater to prevent sediment buildup. Installing a smart leak-detection system that shuts off water automatically can also limit damage if a pipe ever fails.
