FAQs
What qualifies as a plumbing emergency in Lake City?
Any situation that poses an immediate threat to your property, health, or safety counts as an emergency. This includes burst or frozen pipes, overflowing toilets, sewer line backups, gas line leaks, water heater failures, and any leak that cannot be isolated with a shut-off valve. Because Lake City’s high water table can intensify flooding, we recommend calling us immediately if you notice standing water anywhere inside your home.
How fast can Prompt Solutions Plumbing get to my Lake City property?
We operate a true 24/7 dispatch service. On average, our certified technicians arrive within 45–60 minutes inside city limits and within 90 minutes for rural addresses in Columbia County. GPS-equipped service vans and a rotating on-call roster allow us to skip the shop and head straight to your location with stocked parts and specialized leak-detection equipment.
Will I be charged extra for after-hours or holiday service?
Emergency services outside normal business hours (8 a.m.–5 p.m. Mon–Fri) incur a modest after-hours fee that covers our technician’s overtime and the extended logistics required to source parts late at night. We disclose this fee over the phone before dispatching a plumber, so you never receive surprise charges. All pricing follows a flat-rate menu, not hourly billing, and we provide a digital estimate for your approval before work begins.
What should I do while waiting for the emergency plumber to arrive?
1) Shut off the main water supply—usually located near the meter box at the street or inside the crawl-space access. 2) Turn off the electricity to any affected areas if there’s standing water. 3) Open faucets downstairs to drain residual water and relieve pipe pressure. 4) Move valuables and sensitive electronics to a dry area. 5) Avoid using chemical drain cleaners; they can worsen blockages and pose hazards when our technician opens the line.
Are your plumbers licensed and insured to work in Lake City, FL?
Yes. Prompt Solutions Plumbing holds a State of Florida Certified Plumbing Contractor license (CFCXXXXXX) and carries $2 million in general liability insurance plus workers’ compensation for every employee. Our crews follow Lake City permitting requirements and the 2020 Florida Plumbing Code, so all repairs meet or exceed local standards and keep your home’s warranty intact.
Can an emergency visit turn into a full replacement if needed?
Absolutely. Our service trucks stock common pipe sizes, water heater components, and high-flow shut-off valves so we can complete 85 % of jobs on the first visit. If we discover that a larger solution—such as repiping a corroded section or replacing a ruptured water heater—is the safest long-term fix, we’ll present options on the spot. You can authorize us to proceed immediately or schedule follow-up work at a time that fits your budget and your family’s schedule.
