FAQs
What plumbing services do you offer in Tellico Plains?
We provide comprehensive residential and light-commercial plumbing solutions, including leak detection and repair, drain cleaning, water heater installation and maintenance (tank and tankless), sewer line inspection and replacement, fixture upgrades, pipe repiping, well-pump service, and 24/7 emergency repairs anywhere in and around Tellico Plains.
Do you offer 24-hour emergency plumbing service and how quickly can you arrive?
Yes. Our on-call technicians are available 24/7, 365 days a year. Because we’re locally based just minutes from downtown Tellico Plains, our average response time within the 37385 ZIP code and nearby rural routes is 45–60 minutes. You’ll speak with a live dispatcher who can give you a real-time ETA and text message updates.
How much does a typical plumbing repair cost?
Pricing depends on the job scope, parts required, and accessibility, but we keep it transparent with flat-rate, up-front quotes. Simple drain clogs start around $125, water-heater element replacements average $250–$350, and whole-home leak detection with electronic equipment typically runs $150–$225. We waive service-call fees when you approve the repair during the same visit and we offer financing on projects over $500.
Is your work guaranteed and are your plumbers licensed?
Absolutely. All of our plumbers hold current Tennessee state journeyman or master licenses and carry at least $1 million in liability insurance. We back every repair with a 1-year parts and labor warranty, while new water heaters and re-pipes receive extended manufacturer warranties we register on your behalf. If something we fixed fails during the warranty window, we’ll return at no charge.
Can you help with well-water and water-quality issues common in Tellico Plains?
Yes. Many homes here rely on private wells, which can contain iron, sulfur, or hardness minerals. We perform on-site water testing, install whole-house filtration systems, softeners, and UV disinfecting lights, and service existing treatment equipment. We also handle well-pump repairs, pressure-tank replacements, and code-compliant well-cap upgrades to keep your system reliable and safe.
What should I do to prevent frozen pipes in Tellico Plains winters?
Even though our winters are relatively mild, overnight lows can still drop below freezing. To prevent burst pipes, insulate exposed lines in crawl spaces, attics, and outdoor walls with foam sleeves, disconnect garden hoses, and keep a small drip running on the coldest nights. If you’ll be away, set your thermostat no lower than 55 °F. We also offer heat-tape installation and whole-home winterization packages if you need professional help.
