Common Emergency Repairs We Handle

Water Damage and Plumbing Emergencies

Burst pipes, major leaks, toilet overflows, or water heater failures can cause thousands of dollars in damage within hours. Water soaks into flooring, walls, and furniture while promoting mold growth. Our emergency response includes shutting off water sources, extracting standing water, drying affected areas, and making temporary or permanent repairs to plumbing systems. We work quickly to minimize water damage and prevent long-term problems. Mississippi's older homes often have aging plumbing that fails unexpectedly—we're ready to respond.

Storm Damage Repairs

North Mississippi experiences severe thunderstorms, high winds, hail, and occasional tornadoes. Storm damage leaves homes vulnerable: blown-off shingles exposing roofs to rain, broken windows allowing weather inside, damaged siding, fallen trees on structures, or compromised structural integrity. We provide emergency storm damage mitigation—tarping roofs, boarding windows, removing tree hazards, and securing your home until permanent repairs can be completed. Our goal is protecting your property from further damage while developing a complete repair plan.

Broken or Damaged Doors

A door that won't close or lock properly leaves your home unsecured. Break-ins, attempted forced entry, accident damage, or failed hardware create immediate security concerns. We repair or replace damaged doors quickly, install temporary security measures if needed, and ensure your home is secure. This includes entry doors, garage doors, sliding glass doors, and storm doors. Your family's safety comes first—we prioritize door security repairs.

Electrical Emergencies

While major electrical work requires licensed electricians, many electrical emergencies involve handyman-level repairs: replacing damaged outlets, fixing exposed wiring from wall damage, repairing light fixtures, or addressing storm-damaged exterior electrical components. Electrical problems pose fire risks and safety hazards requiring immediate attention. We identify which situations we can safely repair and when to bring in specialized electrical contractors. Your safety is paramount in all electrical emergency work.

Broken Windows

Shattered windows from storms, accidents, or break-in attempts need immediate securing. Exposed window openings allow rain, pests, and intruders into your home. We provide emergency board-up services, temporary window coverings, or immediate glass replacement depending on the situation and time constraints. Securing broken windows protects your home and belongings until permanent repairs or replacements are completed.

HVAC Emergency Repairs

No heat during winter cold snaps or no air conditioning during Mississippi's brutal summer heat can quickly become dangerous, especially for elderly residents, young children, or those with health conditions. While we're not HVAC specialists, we handle many heating and cooling emergencies: replacing air filters, resetting systems, cleaning components, fixing ductwork damage, or identifying problems for specialized contractors. We respond quickly to restore comfort and safety to your home.

What Qualifies as a Home Emergency?

Not every repair needs emergency service, but these situations warrant immediate professional response:

• Active water leaks causing ongoing damage to your home's structure or contents
• Security compromises from broken doors, windows, or locks that leave your home vulnerable
• Storm damage exposing your home's interior to weather
• Heating or cooling failures during extreme temperatures when health is at risk
• Structural damage threatening your home's safety or stability
• Electrical hazards like exposed wiring, sparking outlets, or burning smells
• Gas leaks or suspected gas problems (evacuate and call utility company emergency line first)
• Sewer backups creating unsanitary conditions
• Tree falls or large branches on your home

If you're unsure whether your situation qualifies as an emergency, call us. We'll ask questions to assess urgency and provide guidance on the best course of action. Sometimes situations that seem catastrophic have simple solutions, while seemingly minor problems might need immediate attention.

Our Emergency Response Process

1. Immediate Response: When you call with an emergency, we prioritize getting someone to your Pontotoc home as quickly as possible. We keep tools and materials stocked for common emergency repairs.
2. Damage Assessment: Upon arrival, we quickly evaluate the situation, identify immediate hazards, and determine the best approach to stabilize problems.
3. Emergency Mitigation: Our first priority is stopping ongoing damage—shutting off water, securing your home, removing hazards, or making temporary repairs to protect your property.
4. Permanent Repair Plan: Once the immediate crisis is handled, we develop a comprehensive repair plan, provide estimates, and schedule follow-up work if needed.
5. Documentation: We photograph damage and document our emergency response work for your records and insurance claims.

Preparing for Home Emergencies

While we're ready to respond when emergencies happen, preparation minimizes damage and stress:

• Know where your main water shutoff valve is located and ensure it's accessible and functional
• Know your electrical panel location and how to shut off power to specific circuits or the entire house
• Keep basic emergency supplies accessible: flashlights, batteries, tarps, duct tape, towels
• Save our emergency contact number in your phone for quick access when problems arise
• Take photos of your home's condition for insurance purposes before emergencies occur
• Maintain trees near your house to prevent storm damage from falling branches
• Schedule regular home inspections to identify potential problems before they become emergencies

Working with Insurance Companies

Many emergency repairs are covered by homeowners insurance. We provide detailed documentation of damage and repairs for your insurance claims: photographs of damage, itemized repair lists, receipts for materials and labor, and written descriptions of work performed. While we don't handle insurance claims directly, we've worked with most major insurance companies and understand what documentation they require. Quick emergency response often reduces claim amounts by preventing extensive secondary damage.
