FAQs

Frequently asked questions about plumbing emergencies:

  • What is considered a plumbing emergency?

    A plumbing emergency is any issue that risks water damage, health concerns, or loss of essential plumbing. This includes burst pipes, sewer backups, overflowing toilets, major leaks, no hot water, and situations where water cannot be safely shut off.

  • How quickly can an emergency plumber arrive in Knoxville?

    Response times can vary based on demand and location, but our team prioritizes emergency calls and works to reach your home as quickly as possible. When you call, we will give you clear expectations and guidance right away.

  • Should I shut off my water before the plumber arrives?

    Yes, if it is safe to do so. Turning off your main water supply can help reduce damage during a leak or burst pipe. If you are unsure where your shutoff valve is, our team can help guide you over the phone.

  • Do you handle emergency sewer backups?

    Yes. Sewer backups are serious plumbing emergencies. Our plumbers have the tools and experience to diagnose the cause and restore proper drainage while keeping safety a top priority.

  • Can you help if I suddenly have no hot water?

  • Is it safe to use plumbing fixtures during an emergency?

    In most cases, it is best to avoid using affected plumbing fixtures until the problem is repaired. Continued use can worsen damage or create sanitation concerns, especially during backups or major leaks
