Emergency Plumbing reviews from Apex
Sewage smell in the crawlspace turned out to be a cracked cast iron section. They showed me on camera, explained what would happen if we left it, and gave me three options with prices. No scare tactics.
Robert A.Apex, NCThird plumber we tried and the first one who actually found the leak. Used listening equipment, marked a spot on the floor, cut one small opening, and there it was. Everyone else wanted to start opening walls.
Priya N.Apex, NCOur main line backed up into the downstairs shower on a Saturday. They cleared it, then put a camera down and showed me the roots coming in at a joint about thirty feet out. No pressure to do the repair that day, just the footage and a quote. Booked it for the following week.
Tanya R.Apex, NCEmergency Plumbing in Apex: common questions
How fast can a plumber get to me in Apex?
Most Apex emergency calls are reached within the same day, and overnight calls are typically dispatched within a couple of hours depending on how many trucks are already committed. When you call (833) 435-9778 the dispatcher will give you a real window rather than a guess.
Do you charge extra at night or on weekends in Apex?
No. The flat price we quote for a repair in Apex is the same at midnight on a Sunday as it is on a Tuesday morning. You are told the number before work starts.
What should I do while I wait?
Close the main water shutoff, usually at the meter, in a crawlspace or where the line enters the house. Open the lowest faucet to drain pressure. If you smell gas, leave the building first and call from outside.
Do you handle sewage backups?
Yes. Sewage in a tub or floor drain in Apex usually means a blocked main line, and it is treated as an emergency because every drain in the house feeds it.
Can you work with my insurance claim?
We photograph the failure point and the water path and give you an itemized invoice describing the cause, which is what adjusters ask for.
