Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as a plumbing emergency?
A plumbing emergency is any situation that could cause significant property damage or health hazards if not addressed immediately. This includes burst pipes, active water leaks you can’t stop, sewage backing up into your home, gas line leaks, and sump pump failure during flooding. If you’re unsure, call us — we’ll help you assess the situation.
How much does emergency plumbing cost?
Emergency plumbing rates vary by the type and severity of the problem. Simple emergency repairs like a burst supply line fix typically cost $200-$500. Major sewer line repairs can range from $500-$2,000+. We always provide an upfront quote before performing any work, even during emergencies.
What should I do before the plumber arrives?
Turn off the water supply to the affected area or the main shutoff valve. If you see standing water, move valuables and electronics away from the area. For sewage backups, avoid using any plumbing fixtures. For gas leaks, leave the home and call your gas company first, then call us.
Can you help with insurance claims for water damage?
While we don’t file insurance claims directly, we provide detailed documentation of the emergency, the repairs performed, and photos that your insurance company will need. Many homeowner’s insurance policies cover sudden plumbing failures, and our documentation makes the claims process smoother.
Do you fix frozen pipes?
Yes. Frozen pipes are one of our most common winter emergency calls. We safely thaw frozen pipes, repair any burst sections, and can install pipe insulation or heat tape to prevent future freeze damage. Prevention is key — if temperatures drop below 20°F, let faucets drip and open cabinet doors to protect vulnerable pipes.
