Who We Are
We are a plumbing company in Greensboro that does one kind of work: the kind that cannot wait.
- 24/7 immediate dispatch across all Greensboro neighborhoods
- Upfront written price before any repair or diagnostic work begins
- Zero after-hours surcharge — the same fair rate nights and weekends
Dedicated Emergency Plumbers
When pipes burst, drains back up, or water heaters fail, we arrive prepared to stop the damage and get your home running normally again.
Who picks up when you call
When you call Greensboro Emergency Plumber, you reach the company that sends the truck. Your call is not passed to a national call center or sold on to whichever contractor wants it.
The work we take on
We handle plumbing failures that are damaging a home or have taken away its water, drains or hot water.
Water
Burst pipes, water leaks, main water line breaks and slab leaks.
Drains and sewer
Clogged drains, sewer backups and broken sewer lines.
Fixtures and equipment
Water heaters, sump pumps and toilets.
Four things we commit to
A truck in about 60 minutes
Inside the city, that is our response time. You get an arrival window when you call, and a call from us if traffic or weather changes it.
A written price before work starts
We look at the problem first, then give you one price for the repair. Nothing begins until you agree to it.
Licensed and insured work
Every job is done under a North Carolina plumbing contractor license and covered by liability insurance.
A fix on the first visit
The truck is stocked for the failures Greensboro houses have. When a part must be ordered, we leave the house safe and usable and book the return before we go.
Pricing and Customer Protection
How our pricing works
The price depends on what has failed and where it is, so it is set after we have seen it. It is the same at 2 a.m. on a Sunday as on a weekday afternoon. There is no after-hours, weekend or holiday charge.
What we will not do
- Start work before you have approved the price.
- Charge more because it is night, a weekend or a holiday.
- Hand your call to another company.
- Tell you a pipe or sewer line needs replacing without showing you why.
Why we stay local
An emergency plumber is only useful if it is close and knows the houses. We stay in and around Greensboro for both reasons.
The housing
About one home in five here was built before 1960, by Census figures, and more than 37,000 units went up in the 1980s and 1990s. The first group has clay sewer lines and galvanized pipe. The second often has gray polybutylene.
The city's system
Greensboro maintains about 1,558 miles of water line, a third of it cast iron at least 50 years old. Most of its sewer lines predate the 1950s.
The water
It is soft. Water heaters here fail from age and sediment, not scale.
The rules
The city is responsible up to your property boundary, and its 24-hour Water Resources dispatch line is 336-373-2033. We know when a problem is the city's to fix and tell you before you pay us for it.
The year, as we see it
Winter Freezes
Hard freezes are rare and severe. The airport recorded 5°F on December 24, 2022, and 202 straight hours at or below freezing in January 2018. Pipes split in the cold and leak on the thaw.
Spring Rains
Long rains load old sewer lines, and backups follow.
Summer Heat
Clay soil shrinks in dry spells and buried lines shift. Thunderstorms test sump pumps.
Fall Preparation
Leaves fill yard drains, the first freeze catches hoses left on, and Thanksgiving kitchens overload old drains.
Licensing, insurance and permits: what each one does for you
Compliance & Consumer Protection
The license
North Carolina licenses plumbing contractors through its State Board of Examiners of Plumbing, Heating and Fire Sprinkler Contractors. A license means someone has been examined and is answerable to that board. Ask for our number when you call and check it at nclicensing.org.
The insurance
Liability cover is what pays if something is damaged while we work in your home.
The permit
For work that needs one, a city inspector checks the job before it is covered up. Replacing a sewer line or a water service line, and re-piping a house, need a permit in Greensboro. Most repairs do not. We file the permit when it applies.
What we expect of every plumber
- Find the cause before quoting.
- Explain what was found in plain words.
- Show the customer the failed part or the camera footage.
- Do the repair to North Carolina code.
- Leave the work area clean.
