Plumbing Repairs FAQs

How can I tell if I need plumbing repair?

Aside from the most obvious signs, here are five signs you need to call a plumber for repairs. 

Does homeowners insurance cover plumbing repairs?

Most homeowners insurance will cover the structural damage caused by a sudden or unexpected plumbing issue (like a water heater causing a soaked basement), but not the service call to stop the leak. Review your policy or consult with your insurance provider to learn exactly what’s covered by your policy. 

What is the average cost of plumbing repairs?

On average, plumbing repairs cost between $150-$500. However, your bill will depend on the repair type, labor needed, and whether your plumbing repair company charges by the hour or by the job. In many cases, standard, minor repairs will come with a flat-rate price. When you hire our experts, we’ll assess the damage and provide you with a straightforward pricing guide before we even begin. 

Can you tell me how to turn off the water for plumbing repairs?

To turn off your water for plumbing repairs:

1. Locate your main shut-off valve (usually indoors in utility areas like your garage, laundry room, or basement, and near your water heater).
2. If you can’t find your shut-off valve indoors, check outside near the street or your water meter.
3. If it’s a gate valve, turn it clockwise until it stops. If it’s a ball valve, turn the lever clockwise 90 degrees.
4. Run the faucets on the lowest level in your home (to drain upper levels) until they’re empty to relieve pressure.

To find your shut-off valves on your plumbing fixtures, follow these tips.
