Everything you need to know about Mister Plunger
Got questions about our plumbing services? You're in the right place. Below you'll find clear answers to the most common things our customers ask.
What services does Mister Plunger offer?
Mister Plunger is a full-service plumbing and drain company. Our services include plumbing repair and installation (toilets, faucets, sinks, showers, garbage disposals, water heaters, sump pumps, and more), drain and sewer cleaning, video camera line inspections, water damage restoration and cleanup, mold remediation, and water quality solutions such as softeners and filtration systems.

Is Mister Plunger available 24/7, including holidays?
Yes. Mister Plunger provides same-day and emergency service 365 days a year, including nights, weekends, and holidays. Plumbing emergencies don't keep business hours, and neither do we. You can call us or schedule online at any time to reach a licensed plumber near you.
Does Mister Plunger charge extra for nights, weekends, or holidays?
No. Mister Plunger does not add extra charges for after-hours, weekend, or holiday calls for plumbing and drain services. We believe in full pricing transparency, and our technicians provide free on-site estimates before any work begins so there are no surprises on your bill.
How can I prevent clogged drains in my home?
The most common causes of clogs are grease, hair, soap buildup, and flushing non-flushable items. To prevent them: use drain strainers to catch hair and debris, never pour cooking grease down the sink, avoid flushing wipes (even "flushable" ones), run hot water after each use of the kitchen sink, and clean drain stoppers regularly. Mister Plunger also recommends periodic professional drain cleaning before minor buildup becomes a major blockage.
When should I call a plumber instead of trying to fix it myself?
Small tasks like replacing a faucet washer or a toilet flapper can be DIY-friendly. However, you should call a professional for pipe leaks, sewer line issues, water heater problems, low water pressure throughout the home, recurrent clogs, or any job involving gas lines or major installations. Attempting complex repairs without the right tools can lead to more expensive damage. When in doubt, the Mister Plunger team is always just a call away.
Does Mister Plunger handle water damage restoration?
Yes. Mister Plunger offers complete water damage restoration services, including emergency water extraction, structural drying, basement flood cleanup, and mold remediation. Our crews are available around the clock and arrive equipped with professional-grade water removal and drying equipment. We can also help coordinate with your homeowner's insurance to simplify the claims process.
What should I do in a plumbing emergency while waiting for a technician?
First, shut off the water supply either at the fixture's local valve or at the main shutoff for your home. If there is standing water, move valuables and electronics out of harm's way. Do not use electrical appliances near flooded areas. For gas-related issues, leave the building and call your gas utility immediately. Then contact Mister Plunger right away our emergency plumbers are dispatched quickly and available 24/7.
Does Mister Plunger offer financing options?
Yes. Mister Plunger offers flexible financing options so you can get your plumbing problem fixed today and take time to pay. This is especially helpful for larger repairs such as water heater replacements, sewer line work, or water damage restoration. Ask your technician for details on available plans and eligibility.
Does Mister Plunger serve commercial and industrial clients?
Absolutely. Mister Plunger has a dedicated commercial plumbing division that serves restaurants, office buildings, hospitals, schools, retail centers, and other industries. Commercial services include hydro jetting, grease trap cleaning, backflow prevention, and large-scale drain and sewer solutions.
