Sample job
Property manager call, Fresno-area duplex. Both units had a burst hose-bib leaking inside the wall after a freeze. We pulled the system apart and found split copper at the bib's wall penetration. Cut out and replaced the bib with a frost-free model on the same trip — both tenants happy. $285.
What we cover
An active plumbing emergency means water moving somewhere it shouldn't, sewage backing into living space, or no hot water in cold weather with people in the house. Anything in those three categories, call.
Most-common emergency calls in our queue are burst pipes (winter), washing-machine supply hose failures (year-round), water-heater tank ruptures (any time), and sewer-line backups (fall and spring). All of them have a clock running on damage to drywall, flooring, and structural framing.
When you call, the dispatcher will ask you to shut your main water valve. Most homes have it where the water line enters the building — garage, utility closet, or basement. Quarter-turn ball valves close fast. Older gate valves sometimes seize and need force.
After we arrive, the tech runs a moisture trace, identifies the failure, and quotes a flat-rate. Repair time on most emergency calls runs 60 to 180 minutes. Drywall and flooring restoration is a separate trade — we'll refer if you need it.
