Frequently Asked Questions: Emergency Plumbing in Northern Michigan

How fast can you get to my home for a plumbing emergency?
Response time depends on your location within our service area and technician availability at the time of your call. For active emergencies like burst pipes or flooding, we dispatch as quickly as possible. Calling directly at (989) 778-9270 gives us the fastest way to assess the situation and get someone moving toward you.

What should I do right now while I wait for the plumber?
Shut off the main water supply to stop active water damage from getting worse. If the issue involves a sewer backup, avoid using any fixtures, toilets, or drains in the home. If there is any possibility of a gas line involvement, leave the property and call the gas company before calling us. Do not attempt to repair burst pipes yourself while water is actively flowing.

My pipe burst in a wall and I do not know where the main shutoff is. What do I do?
The main shutoff is typically located in the basement near where the water line enters the home, in a utility room, or near the water meter. If you cannot find it quickly, the curb stop shutoff is located outside near the street and can be turned off with a water key. If you have neither accessible, call us immediately and keep the affected room clear to minimize damage while you wait.

Do you cover emergency calls across all of Northern Michigan or only Gaylord?
We respond to emergency calls throughout our full service area including Gaylord, Petoskey, Charlevoix, Boyne City, Grayling, Mancelona, and surrounding communities. Response time increases with distance from Gaylord, but we do not limit emergency service to one area.

Will my insurance cover emergency plumbing repairs?
Homeowner’s insurance often covers sudden and accidental damage from burst pipes or plumbing failures, but typically does not cover damage from slow leaks or deferred maintenance. Document the damage with photos before any cleanup begins. We can provide an invoice and written description of the failure that your insurance adjuster will need.

Can you handle both the emergency repair and any water damage on the same visit?
We stabilize and repair the plumbing failure on the same visit. Water damage remediation such as drying out walls, flooring, or structural materials is a separate trade and we recommend contacting a licensed restoration company for that portion. Getting the plumbing fixed first is the right starting point so the damage does not continue while restoration happens.

(1)Excellent response to my plumbing emergency. Highly confident and experienced. Honestly recommend. (2) Another plumbing problem. Needed an obsolete shower mixing valve assembly replaced. Estimated $600+ job. Plumber, Tim, was able to rebuild obsolete valve pack, on-site for less than half of estimated cost. What most impressed me was, he could have replaced the entire unit. I would have been satisfied to pay the estimated cost, being none the wiser. His integrity and skill was, "old school". An element of character often missing today. I am 84 years old. The elderly are often taken for granted. Most refreshing and much appreciated.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Jim, for your feedback and for recommending Quality Comfort Pros. We’re glad we could respond quickly to your plumbing emergency and that our professionalism and experience gave you confidence. Please feel free to call us anytime for seasonal tune-ups or to set up ongoing plumbing service.

Called for service on my boiler furnace and air in the heater lines. They were very prompt about getting scheduled and it was nice to see a photo of the technician before they got here. It was a very transparent process. The cost was average for the area. Good customer service!
