Read all reviewsA pipe burst in our attic at 1:30 AM… Mike answered my call immediately and walked us through the emergency steps. By morning he and JP had navigated ice-covered hills to reach our door.
Bear was the only one to answer the phone over the weekend. They had guys handle my entire insurance claim with the adjuster communication all the way thru where I was hands off.
After spending $330 with another company and being left with a still clogged drain… Bear had it cleared for less than half. Highly recommend.
Lessons, answered straight.
What causes most plumbing disasters?
Frozen pipes, failed supply lines and water heaters, and small leaks left too long. Most give some warning first; the stories show what to look for.
Why do so many emergencies happen at night?
Problems often surface when a house is quiet or the heat drops overnight, and a leak can run for hours before anyone notices. Our story explains the pattern.
How do I avoid becoming one of these stories?
Know where your main shutoff is, deal with small leaks early and winterize before the first hard freeze.
