Emergency Plumbing Process Locust

From Crisis to Fixed, Here's How

First, you call and describe what’s happening. Our dispatcher asks specific questions to understand the urgency and helps you take immediate steps to minimize damage while help is on the way.

Next, a licensed plumber arrives with a fully equipped service vehicle. We assess the situation, explain what’s wrong in plain language, and provide upfront pricing before any work begins. No surprises when you’re already dealing with enough stress.

Then comes the repair work. We focus on stopping the immediate problem first, then implement a permanent solution that prevents the same issue from happening again. We clean up our work area and test everything to make sure it’s working properly before we leave.

What's Included in Emergency Service

Emergency plumbing service covers the urgent situations that can’t wait for regular business hours. This includes burst pipes, major water leaks, sewer backups, water heater failures, and completely clogged drains that threaten to overflow.

Each emergency call includes diagnostic assessment, immediate damage control, and permanent repair when possible. Our service vehicles carry common replacement parts, professional-grade tools, and equipment needed for most emergency situations Locust homes experience.

You also get upfront pricing, professional cleanup, and a guarantee on the work performed. The goal is to resolve your emergency completely during the first visit, not just patch it temporarily until later.

Response time depends on current call volume and your exact location in Locust, but most emergency calls receive response within 60-90 minutes. During severe weather or peak emergency periods, it may take slightly longer. When you call, our dispatcher provides an estimated arrival time and keeps you updated if anything changes. For true emergencies involving active flooding or major water damage, these calls receive priority scheduling to minimize property damage.
Plumbing emergencies involve situations that cause immediate property damage, health hazards, or complete loss of essential water services. This includes burst pipes, major leaks, sewer backups, water heater failures, and completely blocked drains threatening to overflow. Issues like slow drains, minor leaks, or running toilets are typically handled during regular business hours unless they’re causing active damage to your property.
Emergency service calls do include additional fees for after-hours, weekend, and holiday response. However, all pricing is provided upfront before any work begins, so you know exactly what you’re paying. There are no hidden fees or surprise charges added to your bill later. The emergency fee covers the cost of maintaining 24/7 availability and rapid response capability that regular business hours don’t require.
We handle both minor and major plumbing emergencies. Our service vehicles carry extensive parts inventory and professional equipment for most emergency situations. This includes major pipe repairs, water heater replacements, sewer line issues, and complex leak repairs. For extremely large projects requiring permits or specialized equipment, our emergency service focuses on immediate damage control and temporary solutions until full repairs can be completed.
First, locate and shut off the main water supply if you have active flooding or major leaks. Move valuables and furniture away from affected areas. Take photos of any damage for insurance purposes. Avoid using electrical appliances near standing water. Our dispatcher provides specific guidance based on your particular situation when you call. Don’t attempt complex repairs yourself, as this can sometimes make the situation worse or create safety hazards.
