When Emergency Plumbing is the Right Fix
Stop the damage first — call us second
Before we get there: find your main water shutoff and close it. It's usually in the basement near where the water service enters the wall, or in a utility closet on a slab home. If you have a gas water heater leak, also close the gas valve at the unit. Closing the supply stops the water flow, which stops the damage clock. Then call us — we'll talk you through anything else while a tech is rolling.
What 'live dispatcher' actually means
At 2am, you get a person, not a voicemail. That person can either get a tech to your house or — if the situation is something you can stabilize until morning — tell you how. We don't charge for the call. We charge when we show up at your door, and that price is on the invoice before we start.
After-hours pricing — what to expect
Emergency after-hours response (nights, weekends, holidays) adds a flat $295 dispatch fee to the repair cost. That's waived during normal business hours. We tell you that fee up front when you call, and we quote the repair work itself before we start it — no surprise add-ons in an emergency.
