FAQs
What situations count as a plumbing emergency in Rutledge?
Any issue that risks water damage, health hazards, or loss of essential service is an emergency. Typical examples include burst or frozen pipes, sewage backups, major leaks that can’t be contained, overflowing toilets, and complete loss of water supply. If you’re unsure, call us—our dispatcher can help you decide whether immediate service is necessary.
Are you really available 24/7 for emergency calls in Rutledge?
Yes. Our on-call technicians live and work in the Rutledge area, so we answer the phone day or night, weekends, and holidays. A licensed plumber is always on standby to be dispatched as soon as you confirm the service request.
How fast can a plumber arrive at my Rutledge home or business?
Because our emergency team is strategically stationed throughout Grainger County, average arrival time within Rutledge city limits is 60 minutes or less. Weather, traffic, and job volume can affect this, but we keep you updated by text or call so you know exactly when help will arrive.
What should I do while waiting for the emergency plumber?
1) Shut off the main water valve (usually near the meter or where the main line enters the building). 2) Turn off the water heater’s power or gas supply if the leak involves hot water lines. 3) Relieve pressure by opening the lowest faucet in the house. 4) Move valuables away from the affected area and place towels or buckets to contain water. 5) Avoid using any plumbing fixtures until we assess the system.
Will I get upfront pricing even during an emergency visit?
Absolutely. After a quick on-site assessment, your plumber will explain the problem, outline possible solutions, and provide a written quote before any work starts. The price won’t change unless the scope of work changes and you approve a revised quote first.
Are your emergency plumbing services insured and guaranteed?
Yes. We carry full liability and workers’ compensation insurance, and all emergency repairs are backed by a one-year labor guarantee along with manufacturer warranties on parts we supply. If an issue we repaired fails within the guarantee period, we’ll return at no cost to you.
