FAQs
What situations qualify as a genuine plumbing emergency, and how fast can you get to my home or business in Lookout Mountain?
A true emergency is any issue that threatens safety, property, or uninterrupted water service—burst or frozen pipes, major leaks, sewer backups, overflowing toilets, failed water heaters, or no water pressure. Because our dispatch center is based in the Chattanooga/Lookout Mountain area, a licensed technician can usually arrive within 60 minutes, day or night, even during storms or holidays.
Are your emergency plumbing services really available 24/7, including weekends and holidays?
Yes. We maintain an on-call rotation of master and journeyman plumbers plus stocked service vans around the clock. When you call after hours, you speak with a live dispatcher—never an answering machine—who immediately contacts the nearest technician. Our crews live in or near Lookout Mountain, so travel time is minimal no matter when trouble strikes.
What should I do while waiting for the emergency plumber to arrive?
1) Shut off the main water supply (usually at the street meter or where the main line enters the house). 2) Turn off the water heater ’s gas or breaker if there’s a large hot-water leak. 3) Open faucets on lower floors to relieve pressure. 4) Move valuables or furniture away from the affected area. 5) If sewage is backing up, avoid using any water fixtures and keep children and pets away. These steps limit damage and speed repair once we’re on-site.
How do you charge for emergency calls? Are there after-hours premiums?
We use transparent, flat-rate pricing based on the task, not the clock. An emergency dispatch fee covers immediate response and diagnosis; that fee is the same 24/7. After assessing the problem, we provide a written quote before work starts. Parts and labor are itemized, and there are no overtime multipliers or hidden weekend surcharges. You approve the price before we pick up a wrench.
Will you coordinate with my homeowners insurance if water damage occurs?
Absolutely. We document the incident with photos, moisture readings, and a detailed job report that meets most insurers’ requirements. Upon request, we can bill your carrier directly for covered plumbing repairs and supply restoration contractors for structural drying, mold remediation, and reconstruction, helping you navigate the claims process from start to finish.
Are your emergency plumbers licensed, insured, and familiar with Lookout Mountain’s unique plumbing challenges?
Every technician carries a Tennessee state plumbing license, full liability insurance, and workers’ compensation coverage. More importantly, they average 15+ years of field experience working on the mountain’s steep terrain, high water-pressure zones, and older cast-iron or galvanized piping common in historic homes. We stock specialized freeze-proof fittings and altitude-rated pressure regulators to solve the issues specific to Lookout Mountain properties.
