Tab Mapper
The tab mapper is a handy little tool that will render a guitar tab file with graphic chord diagrams displayed alongside. This comes in handy for people who just don't have every single chord shape memorized. Just plug in the web site address of a valid .tab or .crd file and hit "Go". In general, the tab mapper does a better job with printer friendly URLs. If there is more than one way to play a chord, the tab mapper will choose the most common shape. To see other fingerings, click on the chord diagram and you will be taken to the chord calculator.

Burst pipe at midnight? Drain backed up before guests arrive? AlertPlumber's alert network has verified plumbers ready around the clock.

Water Heater Repair
Fixes no-hot-water, leaking tank, pilot light, and thermostat issues.
Cost depends on heater type (gas vs. electric), which component failed, and whether repair or replacement is the right call given the unit's age.

Emergency repair for burst, cracked, or split pipes.
Cost depends on pipe material, break location (wall, ceiling, slab, or exposed), extent of water damage, and access requirements.
Frozen Pipe Repair
Thaws and repairs frozen pipes before they burst ? winter emergency.
Cost depends on pipe location, whether the pipe has burst, access difficulty, and whether insulation or heat tape installation is included.
Sump Pump Repair
Repairs failing sump pumps before basement flooding.
Cost depends on which component has failed (float switch, check valve, or motor), pump type, and whether a battery backup system is involved.
Pipe Camera Inspection
Real-time video inspection of drain, sewer, and supply lines to diagnose clogs, cracks, root intrusion, and pipe condition before committing to a repair.
Cost depends on pipe diameter, total length inspected, number of cleanout access points, and whether a ground locator is used to mark pipe position above grade.

What fails each season ? and what to book before it does
Winter
What fails: frozen and burst pipes, water heaters under peak load, outdoor spigots left connected.
Book ahead: pipe insulation on exterior walls, water heater service before the first hard freeze.
Spring
What fails: sump pumps in the first heavy thaw, yard lines shifted by freeze-thaw, roots invading laterals.
Book ahead: sump test before storm season, camera inspection if drains slowed over winter.
Summer
What fails: slab leaks as soil dries and shifts, pressure problems from irrigation load, garbage disposals in hosting season.
Book ahead: repipe and remodel work ? scheduling is easiest while emergency volume is low.
Fall
What fails: water heaters on the first cold snap, disconnected hose bibs, aging shutoff valves that won't close.
Book ahead: winterization, heater replacement if yours is past 10 years, main shutoff check.
Big jobs ? where contractor selection matters
Big jobs, big stakes. AlertPlumber matches you with verified plumbers experienced in sewer, slab, repipe, and tankless work ? the services where picking the right contractor matters.
Tankless Water Heater Installation
Installs gas or electric tankless water heaters with proper venting.
Cost depends on fuel type, required BTU output, venting configuration, and whether gas line or electrical panel upgrades are needed.
Sewer Line Repair
Repairs broken or root-invaded sewer lines via spot repair, lining, or trenchless methods.
Cost depends on damage extent, pipe material, repair method (spot repair, CIPP lining, or excavation), and local permit requirements.

Cost depends on line length, depth, access conditions, replacement method (trenched or trenchless pipe bursting), and municipal permit fees.
Slab Leak Repair
Detects and repairs leaks in pipes beneath the concrete slab foundation.
Cost depends on leak location under the slab, pipe material, access method (tunneling vs. saw-cut), and whether rerouting is required.
Hydro Jetting
High-pressure water jetting to clear severe clogs and grease in main lines.
Cost depends on line diameter, clog severity, access point location, and whether camera inspection is included in the scope.
Whole-Home Repipe
Replaces old galvanized or polybutylene plumbing with PEX or copper.
Cost depends on home square footage, number of fixtures, pipe material selected (PEX vs. copper), wall access complexity, and permit requirements.
Gas Line Repair
Detects and repairs gas line leaks, cracked fittings, and corroded supply pipe ? licensed, code-compliant, and permit-pulled.
Cost depends on leak location (interior vs. exterior line), length of pipe requiring replacement, permit fees, and whether the gas meter must be shut off at the street during repair.
Water Line Repair
Repairs breaks, pinhole leaks, and corrosion failures on the main water service line from the street meter to the home.

What happens before a plumber ever calls you
- 01
State license check ? at routing time. Every plumber is verified against their state contractor board's live database when your call is routed, not just at signup.
- 02
Insurance confirmed through the partner network. Contractors carry the coverage their state requires before they can receive a single call.
- 03
Documented consent, no data games. Your callback request is TCPA-documented, never sold to lead lists ? one plumber gets it, not twelve.
- 04
Written estimate before any work. The price and scope go in writing before a wrench comes off the truck. No obligation until you approve.
Three lines that decode any plumbing quote
Every legitimate plumbing quote has the same skeleton. Know these three lines and you can compare any two bids in under a minute.
The trip & diagnostic line
Covers getting a licensed plumber and a stocked truck to your door and diagnosing the problem. Reputable plumbers credit it toward the repair if you approve the work ? ask.
The scope line
What exactly gets done, in writing: the fixture, the pipe run, the method. If a bid is vague here, the change orders come later. A written scope is what makes two bids comparable.
The permit line
Water heaters, sewer work, and repipes are permitted work in most cities. The plumber pulls it, the city inspects it, your insurance and resale stay clean. Missing permit line on permitted work is a red flag.
Frequently asked about emergency plumbers
Most AlertPlumber matched plumbers respond within 1?3 hours during business hours and 2?4 hours overnight. Response depends on ZIP, current dispatch load, and severity (a burst pipe gets prioritized over a slow drain). The plumber confirms ETA when they call.
Emergency plumbing costs vary by job type, access conditions, and whether after-hours service is required. The matched plumber provides a written estimate before any work begins ? no obligation.
Yes. AlertPlumber's network includes verified plumbers on 24/7 dispatch across the United States. Tap the call button and a dispatcher routes you to a plumber on call in your area.
True emergencies that need same-day or after-hours service: burst pipes, active flooding, no hot water in winter, sewage backing up into the home, gas leaks, frozen pipes that haven't thawed in 4+ hours, water main break on your property. Slow drains, dripping faucets, and running toilets can usually wait until next business day at lower cost.
Reputable verified plumbers do NOT charge for over-the-phone estimates. They'll ask you to describe the symptoms and give a price range. A trip charge only applies if you book the visit. Be skeptical of any plumber who refuses to quote on the phone before showing up.
Every plumber in the AlertPlumber network is verified against state contractor license boards (CSLB in California, TSBPE in Texas, AZ ROC in Arizona, DBPR in Florida, NSCB in Nevada, and equivalents nationally). License numbers are checked against active state databases before any plumber is matched. AlertPlumber doesn't perform plumbing services itself ? see the methodology page for verification details.
Frozen pipes still have water but no flow when you turn the tap. Burst pipes leak water continuously even with all fixtures off, and you'll often hear running water in walls or see wet drywall/ceiling stains. If frozen: shut off the main and warm the pipe gradually with a hair dryer. If burst: shut off the main immediately and call a plumber. See the AlertPlumber burst pipe guide for step-by-step diagnostics.
A master plumber holds the highest state license tier ? they can pull permits, supervise crews, and own a plumbing business. A journeyman plumber is fully verified for hands-on work but typically operates under a master plumber's permit. Both can handle most residential repair and install work. Apprentices (third tier) work only under direct supervision.
Yes ? that's part of the cost. Any work that opens walls, replaces fixtures inside the wall, or alters drain/supply lines requires a city plumbing permit. The verified plumber pulls it on your behalf. Permit fees vary by city. Doing permitted work without a permit can void your homeowners insurance and create resale problems.
AlertPlumber is paid by the verified plumbers who participate in the network ? AlertPlumber earns a referral fee when a plumber connects with a homeowner through the platform. You pay nothing to use AlertPlumber, and there's no markup on the plumber's quote. AlertPlumber's incentive is to match you with a plumber you'll be happy with, since repeat traffic is what keeps the network healthy. Full transparency on the methodology page.
