What is a service call fee?

It covers the trip and the first look at the problem. It usually runs $100 to $250 and often includes the first hour. Some companies credit it toward the repair.

When should I call an emergency plumber?

For a burst pipe, a sewer backup, or a leak you can't stop. Shut off your main water valve first, then call.

How do I get an accurate quote?

Describe the problem clearly, ask whether the price is hourly or flat, get it in writing, and confirm the plumber is licensed.
