Emergency FAQ's
How much do emergency plumbing services cost?
Emergency calls are billed at a higher rate because they require after-hours service and immediate response. Pinnacle Plumbing’s emergency fee starts at $289, which covers dispatching a plumber right away to stabilize the problem and prevent further damage.
What qualifies as a plumbing emergency?
Plumbing emergencies are issues that can’t wait until the next business day — problems that risk water damage, sewage exposure, or a complete loss of service. Common examples include burst pipes, sewage backups, and flooding.
What if I’m not sure it’s an emergency?
If you’re unsure, give us a call. We’ll help you decide whether it needs immediate attention or if it can be scheduled during regular hours at our standard rate.
Our Process
We know emergencies disrupt your home and peace of mind. That’s why we focus on clear communication and quick resolution:
Immediate Response
Emergency calls are placed at the top of our list. We confirm your details, gather quick information about the problem, and dispatch a plumber as quickly as possible. Knowing help is on the way brings immediate peace of mind.
On-Site Assessment
When we arrive, the first priority is to stabilize the situation. That may mean shutting off the water supply, stopping an active leak, or containing a backup. At the same time, we’ll look closely at the root cause — whether it’s a broken pipe, a clogged main line, or a failed fixture — so you know exactly what you’re dealing with.
Repair or Stabilization
Many emergencies can be repaired right on the spot. If the fix is straightforward and safe, we’ll carry it out immediately. In cases where a larger repair is needed, we’ll perform a temporary stabilization (for example, stopping a leak or clearing a partial clog) so the problem doesn’t get worse while we prepare the permanent solution.
Long-Term Confidence
Even after the immediate fix, we want you to feel confident the issue is resolved. We test the repair, check your system for related concerns, and share recommendations to help prevent future emergencies. You’ll have peace of mind knowing you’re back in control.
