FAQs
What qualifies as a plumbing emergency in Talbott?
A plumbing emergency is any situation that threatens your safety, property, or the continuous supply of clean water. Common emergencies include burst pipes, gas leaks, overflowing toilets, sewage backups, and water heater failures that cause flooding or leave you without hot water. If you’re unsure, err on the side of caution and call our emergency line—our dispatcher will help you determine the urgency.
How quickly can Long-Term Solutions Plumbing reach my Talbott home or business?
We maintain on-call technicians 24/7. For properties within Talbott city limits, our average response time is 30–45 minutes, even on weekends and holidays. If you’re in a surrounding rural area, travel time may extend to about an hour, but we’ll give you an accurate ETA when you call.
Do you charge extra for after-hours or holiday emergency service?
Yes, emergency calls outside standard business hours (8 a.m.–5 p.m., Monday–Friday) incur an emergency dispatch fee. However, we waive this fee if the repair turns into a larger project we complete for you within 30 days. All pricing is disclosed up-front, so you’ll never be surprised by hidden costs.
What should I do while waiting for the plumber to arrive?
If it’s safe, locate your main water shutoff valve and turn it clockwise to stop water flow. For gas leaks, leave the building immediately and call your utility provider. Avoid using electrical appliances in flooded areas, and never attempt DIY repairs on pressurized or gas lines. Our dispatcher can guide you through any immediate safety steps over the phone.
Are your emergency plumbers licensed and insured?
Absolutely. Every technician is Tennessee-licensed, background-checked, and drug-screened. We carry full liability and workers’ compensation insurance, protecting you from any liability while we’re on your property. We also stay current with local Talbott codes so all repairs meet or exceed regulatory standards.
Can you provide a long-term solution during an emergency visit, or is it only a temporary fix?
Whenever possible, we complete a permanent repair on the first visit by arriving with fully stocked service vehicles. In rare cases where specialized parts are required, we will stabilize the problem (e.g., stop leaks, restore partial service) and schedule a follow-up visit within 24–48 hours to finish the long-term solution. Our goal is to eliminate the issue—not just patch it.
