How much does emergency plumbing service cost?
The cost of emergency plumbing services varies based on several factors, including the type and severity of the plumbing issue, the time of day, and the location of the property. A plumber may charge extra for after-hours, weekend or holiday emergency services. It is always best to get an estimate upfront, so you know how much you will be expected to pay before the work begins.
How long does it take for an emergency plumber to arrive?
Typically, emergency plumbers aim to arrive within an hour of the initial call, but it can vary based on factors such as the distance from the plumber’s office, traffic conditions, and other emergencies they may be handling at the time of your call.
