Emergency Plumbing reviews from Asheville
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.Asheville, NCFrozen pipe split in the crawlspace during that cold snap. They thawed it, replaced the section, and then insulated the run so it should not happen again. Explained everything as they went.
Lauren K.Asheville, NCGarbage disposal was humming and I assumed it was dead. Turned out to be a jam plus a partly blocked trap arm. Cleared both, no new unit needed. Appreciated the honesty.
Kevin T.Asheville, NCEmergency Plumbing in Asheville: common questions
How fast can a plumber get to me in Asheville?
Most Asheville 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 Asheville?
No. The flat price we quote for a repair in Asheville 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 Asheville 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.
