24 Hour Plumbing Service Process

From Emergency Call to Fixed Problem

You call our emergency line and speak directly with dispatch. We ask about your situation to send the right technician with appropriate equipment. Most emergency calls get a response within the hour, even at night.

Our plumber arrives, assesses the immediate problem, and stops any active damage first. Then we diagnose the root cause and explain what needs repair or replacement. You get upfront pricing before any work begins – no surprise bills when you’re already dealing with an emergency.

We complete the repair using professional-grade materials that last. Before leaving, we test everything thoroughly and walk you through what we fixed. You get a clear explanation of what caused the problem and how to prevent it from happening again.

Immediate Plumbing Service Coverage

What Your Emergency Service Includes

Emergency plumbing service covers any urgent situation that threatens your property or safety. Burst pipes, major leaks, sewer backups, water heater failures, and blocked drains that cause flooding all qualify for immediate response.

You get a licensed technician who arrives with diagnostic equipment, repair tools, and common replacement parts. We handle everything from stopping the immediate damage to completing permanent repairs. Our trucks stock pipe fittings, water heater elements, drain cleaning equipment, and emergency shut-off supplies.

Most emergency calls in Phalanx get a response within one hour, including nights and weekends. Response time depends on your exact location and current call volume, but we prioritize situations involving active water damage or safety hazards. When you call, we provide an accurate arrival estimate based on your specific situation and our technician’s current location. We don’t make promises we can’t keep – if we’re running behind, you’ll know immediately.
Any plumbing problem that threatens property damage or safety qualifies for emergency service. This includes burst pipes, major leaks, sewer backups, water heater failures, and drain blockages causing flooding. If water is going where it shouldn’t and causing damage, or if you’ve lost essential water service completely, that’s an emergency. Slow drains, minor leaks, and running toilets are problems but usually don’t require middle-of-the-night service unless they’re getting worse rapidly.
Emergency service rates apply for calls outside normal business hours, which is standard throughout the plumbing industry. However, we provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’ll pay. There are no surprise fees or hidden charges added to your bill later. The emergency rate covers immediate response, after-hours availability, and priority service. We believe transparent pricing is especially important when you’re already dealing with an urgent situation.
Our emergency technicians handle the vast majority of urgent plumbing situations including burst pipes, water heater failures, sewer backups, and major leaks. We carry equipment for drain cleaning, pipe repair, fixture replacement, and emergency shut-offs. Very specialized situations like main sewer line replacement or complex commercial systems might require scheduling with specific equipment, but we can always stop immediate damage and provide temporary solutions until comprehensive repairs can be completed.
First, locate and turn off your main water supply if water is actively flowing where it shouldn’t. The main shut-off is usually near where the water line enters your house. Move valuables and furniture away from affected areas if possible. Don’t attempt repairs yourself – emergency situations often involve pressurized water or electrical hazards. Take photos of damage for insurance purposes if it’s safe to do so. When we dispatch a technician, we’ll provide specific guidance based on your particular situation.
Insurance coverage depends on what caused the emergency and your specific policy terms. Sudden pipe bursts and appliance failures are often covered, while gradual leaks or maintenance issues typically aren’t. We can document the emergency situation and provide detailed repair invoices that help with insurance claims. Many customers find that quick emergency response actually saves money by preventing extensive water damage that would cost much more to repair than the original plumbing problem.
