Frequently Asked
Questions

Yes — our emergency line is answered live any hour, any day. You won't reach a voicemail or answering service on an active emergency call. Call 778-389-3789 any time.

Response time depends on your location and current dispatch queue, but we confirm your ETA on the call. For most Langley and Surrey calls, we aim for same-hour response on active flooding or burst pipe situations.

Active water flow you can't stop, sewage backup, no hot water, burst pipes or flooding are all emergencies. If you're unsure — call. We'd rather confirm it's minor than have you wait on something that escalates.

After-hours and weekend emergency calls may carry an additional dispatch fee. We disclose this on the call before dispatch — you'll know the cost structure before we show up. No surprise billing.

We provide a fixed-price quote before starting any work. You approve the price — we start. No hourly billing surprises, no after-the-fact additions unless you request scope changes.

For most standard residential service calls, we assess the job on arrival and quote before starting. Larger or more complex scopes (major renovations, drainage projects) may involve a site visit quote — confirmed before your visit.

We accept e-Transfer, credit card and cheque. Payment terms are outlined in your quote. For larger projects, we may require a deposit before material procurement — disclosed in the quote.
