Emergency Plumbing in Nashville, Tennessee

- Sewage backups cleared and the cause identified, not just the symptom

How a emergency plumbing call goes, start to finish
The first job in an emergency is stopping the water, and the second is telling you honestly what it will take to fix it. We will show you where your main shutoff is while we are there, because knowing that one thing is the difference between a wet floor and a flooded ceiling next time.
Emergency work costs more than the same repair on a Tuesday morning, and we will say so. If what you are describing can safely wait until normal hours, we would rather book it for then than charge you a call-out rate for something that is not urgent.

FAQ
Your emergency plumbing questions, answered by a plumber
What counts as a plumbing emergency?
Water you cannot stop, sewage coming up, no water at all, or a gas smell. A burst supply line, a water heater dumping its tank, or a backup into a tub are same-hour calls. A slow drain, a dripping tap or a running toilet are not — they are worth booking, but they are not worth an after-hours rate, and we will tell you which is which on the phone.
What should I do before the plumber arrives?
Turn the water off at the main. It is usually a valve where the supply enters the house, often near the water heater or in the crawl space, or at the meter box by the street. Turning it off stops the damage growing while you wait. If it is the water heater, turn its cold supply valve off and, on a gas heater, the gas control to Pilot or Off.
Does emergency plumbing cost more than a normal visit?
Yes. After-hours and weekend response costs more than the same repair booked for a weekday morning, and we say so up front. If what you describe can safely wait — the water is off and nothing is actively leaking — we will offer to book it for normal hours instead of charging you a call-out rate for something that is not urgent.
