FAQs
Do you offer 24/7 emergency plumbing service in Tellico Plains?
Yes. Because plumbing problems rarely wait for business hours, our licensed technicians are on-call around the clock, every day of the year. Whether you have a burst pipe at 2 a.m. on Bank Street or a backed-up sewer line out on Mecca Pike, we can usually arrive within an hour, fully equipped to diagnose and repair the issue on the spot.
What common plumbing problems do homeowners in Tellico Plains face?
In addition to the usual clogged drains and leaking faucets, Tellico Plains residents often contend with: (1) Frozen or burst supply lines during cold Appalachian nights; (2) Well-pump or pressure-tank failures on rural properties; (3) Hard-water scale that shortens water-heater life; and (4) Root intrusion in older clay sewer laterals. Our team is trained and equipped to handle each of these regional challenges quickly and cost-effectively.
How can I prevent my pipes from freezing during Tellico Plains’ winter cold snaps?
• Disconnect and drain outdoor hoses. • Insulate exposed pipes in crawl spaces, attics, and exterior walls with foam sleeves or heat tape rated for potable lines. • Keep the thermostat at 55 °F or higher, even if you leave town. • Open cabinet doors under sinks to circulate warm air. • Let a trickle of water run from the highest and lowest fixtures in the home when temperatures dip below 25 °F. If you suspect a freeze, shut off the main valve and call us before pipes burst.
Do you install and service tankless water heaters?
Absolutely. Tankless units are popular in Tellico Plains cabins and vacation rentals because they save space and only heat water when you need it. We size the unit based on your peak hot-water demand, upgrade gas or electrical service if required, install manufacturer-approved venting, and provide annual descaling to ensure long life in our mineral-rich water.
What should I do if I notice a sudden spike in my Monroe County Water bill?
A sharp increase usually indicates a hidden leak. First, check that all fixtures are off, then read your water meter; wait two hours without using water and read it again. If the numbers change, you have a leak. Common culprits include running toilets, slab leaks, and irrigation line breaks. Call us for electronic leak detection—we can locate the problem without tearing up your yard or floors.
Do you provide free estimates and warranty your work?
Yes. We offer no-obligation, on-site evaluations within the greater Tellico Plains area, including Coker Creek, Rafter, and Ballplay. You will receive a written estimate before any work begins. All repairs are backed by a minimum one-year parts and labor warranty, and many fixtures carry extended manufacturer warranties that we honor on your behalf.
