A True Story From a Mathias Plumbing Customer
The Weekend a Phone Call Saved a House
A local homeowner was out of town for the weekend when a family member drove past the house and spotted it: a major pipe had burst outside, and water was pouring across the property.
The owner called Tannor right away. He dropped what he was doing, drove over, shut the water off, and fixed the break — the same day, before the flooding could reach the house.
Left running until Monday, that one broken pipe could have meant a flooded property and tens of thousands of dollars in water damage. Instead, it was a repair bill.
Why minutes matter in a plumbing emergency
- Burst pipes can release hundreds of gallons per hour — damage grows by the minute.
- Water damage restoration routinely runs into the tens of thousands of dollars.
- Tannor is local — Mount Angel based, minutes away, and answers his own phone.
- One fast shut-off and repair can be the difference between a bill and a disaster.
