Scheduling & Pricing

How quickly can you schedule a service call? +
For non-emergency services, we typically can schedule within 1-3 business days. Many times we can accommodate same-day or next-day appointments. Emergency services are available immediately 24/7.
What are your rates? +
Our rates vary depending on the type of service and complexity of work. We provide upfront pricing before beginning any work. Standard service calls start at $89, which includes the first hour of labor. We never charge hidden fees, and all pricing is discussed and approved before we start.
Do you charge extra for weekend or after-hours service? +
Emergency service rates apply for after-hours, weekends, and holidays. These rates are approximately 1.5x our standard rates. We'll always inform you of the applicable rate before dispatching a technician.
What payment methods do you accept? +

Services & Repairs

What should I do in a plumbing emergency? +
First, shut off the main water supply if possible. For specific fixtures, turn off the local shut-off valve. Move valuables away from water damage. Then call our 24/7 emergency line at (800) 555-1234. Do not attempt major repairs yourself as this may worsen the situation.
How long does a typical water heater last? +
Traditional tank water heaters typically last 8-12 years with proper maintenance. Tankless water heaters can last 15-20 years or more. Regular maintenance, including annual flushing and inspection, can significantly extend the lifespan of your water heater.
Why is my water bill so high? +
High water bills are often caused by hidden leaks, running toilets, dripping faucets, or faulty irrigation systems. A single toilet leak can waste up to 200 gallons per day. We offer leak detection services to identify and fix these issues quickly.
Can you clear any type of drain clog? +
Yes! We have professional-grade equipment including hydro-jetting and video camera inspection to clear even the toughest clogs in sinks, toilets, tubs, main lines, and sewer lines. We can handle tree roots, grease buildup, and other stubborn blockages.
Do you offer preventive maintenance plans? +
Yes! Our preventive maintenance plans include annual inspections, drain cleaning, water heater flushing, and priority scheduling. Plan members also receive discounts on repairs and installations. Contact us to learn more about our maintenance programs.
