What's Included in Emergency Plumbing Service
Every emergency call includes a full diagnostic to identify the source — not just the symptom. We arrive with the tools and materials to address the most common emergencies on the first visit: pipe repair clamps and fittings, drain clearing equipment, pressure testing gear, and gas detection instruments.
After-hours emergency calls include the service call fee, diagnostic, and labor for the repair. Parts are additional and quoted before installation. For emergencies that require excavation — slab access, main line repair — we provide a full written estimate before proceeding.
We do not charge hidden fees for nights, weekends, or holidays beyond the standard after-hours rate. What we quote is what you pay.
