FAQs
What plumbing services do you offer to homeowners and businesses in Tellico Plains?
We provide full-service plumbing, including leak detection and repair, drain and sewer cleaning, water-heater installation and maintenance, fixture replacements, whole-house repiping, backflow prevention testing, and 24/7 emergency response. All work meets or exceeds the current 2021 International Plumbing Code adopted by Monroe County.
Do I need a permit for plumbing work on my Tellico Plains property?
Most major plumbing projects—such as water-heater replacement, sewer line repair, or new construction—require a Monroe County building permit and inspection. Minor repairs like replacing a faucet or clearing a clog usually don’t. We handle the permitting process for you, coordinate inspections with the county building department, and ensure full code compliance.
How quickly can you respond to a plumbing emergency in Tellico Plains?
Our on-call technicians live throughout Monroe County, allowing us to reach most locations in Tellico Plains within 60 minutes, day or night. We keep fully stocked service vans so we can complete common emergency repairs—burst pipes, overflowing toilets, and leaking water heaters—on the first visit. You can reach us 24/7 at our dedicated emergency line.
What are common plumbing issues specific to Tellico Plains and how can I prevent them?
1) Hard water from local wells can cause scale build-up in fixtures and water heaters; installing a water softener and scheduling annual flushes will extend equipment life. 2) Freezing winter temperatures in the Cherokee National Forest region can burst exposed pipes; we recommend pipe insulation and heat-tape for crawl spaces. 3) Heavy rains may overload older clay sewer lines; proactive camera inspections every 2–3 years help catch root intrusion before backups occur.
How much does a typical plumbing repair cost in Tellico Plains?
Small repairs, such as fixing a leaky faucet, usually range from $125 – $250. Drain cleaning averages $175 – $300, while water-heater replacements run $1,100 – $2,400 depending on tank size and fuel type. After an in-person assessment we provide a flat, upfront quote—no overtime fees for after-hours emergencies within Tellico Plains city limits.
Is your work guaranteed and are you insured to operate in Tellico Plains?
Yes. We carry $2 million in general liability insurance and full workers’ compensation coverage for your protection. All labor is backed by a 1-year workmanship warranty, and most fixtures come with a manufacturer warranty of 3–10 years. If any problem arises within the warranty period, we return at no charge to make it right.
