FAQs
What counts as a plumbing emergency and when should I call?
Any issue that threatens to damage your property or disrupt essential water service is an emergency. Typical examples include burst pipes, sewage backups, major leaks, no water pressure, overflowing toilets, and frozen pipes likely to crack. If shutting off a fixture valve or your main water valve does not immediately resolve the problem, call our Washburn emergency line right away.
Are your emergency plumbing services truly available 24/7 in Washburn?
Yes. We maintain an on-call team of licensed plumbers who live and work in the Washburn area. Whether it’s 2 a.m. on a Tuesday or noon on a holiday weekend, you will reach a live dispatcher who can mobilize a technician to your location immediately.
How fast can a plumber get to my Washburn home or business in an emergency?
Our average response time within city limits is 45 minutes or less. Because our technicians are strategically stationed around Washburn and neighboring communities, we can often arrive even sooner—especially for critical issues such as active flooding or sewer backups.
Will I be charged extra for after-hours, weekend, or holiday emergency calls?
We do apply a modest emergency service fee after normal business hours to cover the added costs of staffing. However, we provide upfront pricing over the phone before dispatching, and there are no surprise surcharges once the job is complete. All labor rates and parts costs are the same as during standard hours; only the flat call-out fee changes.
What should I do while waiting for the emergency plumber to arrive?
If water is actively leaking, shut off the closest fixture valve or the main water shut-off to the building. Turn off electricity in any area where water is approaching outlets or appliances. Avoid using chemical drain cleaners, as they can worsen clogs and pose hazards to our technicians. Clear a path to the affected area and gather any product warranty or previous repair paperwork if available.
Are your Washburn emergency plumbers licensed and insured, and do you guarantee the repair?
Absolutely. Every technician holds a North Dakota journeyman or master plumbing license, carries full liability and workers’ compensation insurance, and undergoes background and drug screenings. We back all emergency repairs with a written one-year workmanship guarantee and honor all manufacturer warranties on parts we supply.
