We charge a $45 dispatch/scheduling fee to cover the time and travel to your property to get our eyes on the problem. Rest assured, this fee counts toward any service or repair we do for you.
Because every home and plumbing system is unique, we need to see the problem in person to provide an accurate, definitive price. Even detailed pictures can miss hidden variables that affect the job.
To keep things completely transparent, we post our most common repair and replacement price ranges right here on our website so you can get a clear idea of what to expect.
