Emergency Plumbing reviews from Charlotte
We run a small restaurant and the kitchen line backed up during dinner service. They came out after we closed, jetted the whole run, and had us open on time the next morning. Now on a quarterly schedule with them.
Hector M.Charlotte, 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.Charlotte, NCCalled three places, this was the only one that gave me a real arrival time instead of a four hour window. Showed up when they said, fixed the shower valve, done in an hour.
James O.Charlotte, NCEmergency Plumbing in Charlotte: common questions
How fast can a plumber get to me in Charlotte?
Most Charlotte 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 Charlotte?
No. The flat price we quote for a repair in Charlotte 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 Charlotte 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.
