FAQs
What qualifies as a plumbing emergency?
A plumbing emergency is any situation that poses an immediate risk to your property, safety, or health—such as burst pipes, major water leaks, sewage backups, overflowing toilets, or loss of all water pressure. If the issue can’t wait until regular business hours without causing damage or severe inconvenience, it’s considered an emergency.
How quickly can your emergency plumbers reach my home in Shelbyville?
We dispatch technicians from within Shelbyville and the surrounding communities. In most cases, a certified emergency plumber can arrive at your door within 60 minutes or less. Travel times may vary slightly during severe weather or high-demand periods, but we always prioritize true emergencies to minimize damage and downtime.
Are your emergency plumbing services really available 24/7, even on holidays?
Yes. Our hotline is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year—including weekends and all major holidays. Plumbing disasters don’t follow a schedule, so neither do we. You’ll always reach a live representative who can dispatch an on-call plumber immediately.
What should I do while waiting for the emergency plumber to arrive?
1) Shut off the nearest water supply valve or the main water shut-off to stop further flooding. 2) Turn off electricity to any affected areas if water is near outlets or appliances. 3) Contain minor leaks with buckets or towels. 4) Avoid using any plumbing fixtures tied to the problem line. 5) Take photos for insurance documentation. Our dispatcher can guide you through additional safety steps over the phone.
How much does an emergency plumbing visit cost in Shelbyville?
Costs vary based on the nature and severity of the problem, time of day, and required materials. We charge a flat emergency service call fee that covers the rapid response and initial diagnostics. After assessing the issue on-site, your plumber will provide a transparent, up-front quote before any repair work begins. We never proceed without your approval.
Are your plumbers licensed, insured, and local to Shelbyville?
Absolutely. Every technician we send is fully licensed by the State of Tennessee, carries comprehensive liability and workers’ compensation insurance, and undergoes background and drug screening. Most of our plumbers live right here in or near Shelbyville, so they know local codes, water conditions, and neighborhood layouts—a real advantage in urgent situations.
