FAQs
What types of issues count as a plumbing emergency in Turtletown?
Any situation that risks flooding, water damage, or loss of essential service is considered an emergency. Common examples include burst pipes, severe leaks, overflowing toilets, sewer backups, no hot water during cold spells, and gas or water heater leaks. If you’re unsure, err on the side of caution and call—our dispatcher can quickly determine if immediate action is needed.
How fast can your emergency plumbers get to my Turtletown home or business?
We maintain on-call technicians 24/7 within Turtletown and surrounding communities. In most cases we arrive within 60 minutes of your call, day or night. During severe weather or high-demand periods we give you a realistic ETA upfront and keep you updated by text or phone while the technician is en route.
Are your emergency plumbers licensed, insured, and background-checked?
Yes. Every technician holds a Tennessee Journeyman or Master Plumber license, carries full liability and workers’ compensation insurance, and passes annual background and drug screenings. We’re also certified in backflow prevention, gas line repair, and tankless water heater service, so you can trust that qualified professionals are handling your emergency.
What should I do while waiting for the plumber to arrive?
1. Shut off the main water valve (usually near the meter) to stop active leaks. 2. If the leak is localized (e.g., under a sink), shut the fixture valve instead. 3. Turn off electricity to affected areas if water is near outlets or appliances. 4. Mop or towel up standing water to limit floor and wall damage. 5. Don’t use chemical drain cleaners—they can make matters worse and endanger our technicians. 6. Take photos for insurance if safe to do so.
Will I pay more for service at night, on weekends, or holidays?
We charge a modest emergency dispatch fee after normal business hours, which we disclose up front before sending a technician. Once onsite, we provide a written, flat-rate estimate for the repair. There are no hidden trip, fuel, or disposal fees. If you approve the estimate, the dispatch fee is applied toward the final bill.
Do you carry the parts needed to fix problems on the first visit?
Our service vans are stocked as rolling warehouses with the most common pipe fittings, valves, seals, water heater parts, and drain cleaning tools. This allows us to complete 90% of emergency jobs in a single trip. For rare or specialty components, we partner with local suppliers in Turtletown that offer after-hours pickup so delays are minimal.
