Whether it is your first call to Getzschman or you booked online, here is what to expect: an on-time arrival, a friendly introduction, a clear inspection, and straightforward options. Your plumber will explain the issue, answer questions, and help you choose the next step that fits your home. This quick guide walks Norfolk and Madison County homeowners through the visit from start to finish so you can open the door with confidence.

Before the Visit: What Happens When You Schedule

The process starts with scheduling. Most people either book through our online Schedule Engine or call our office in Norfolk.

Booking online or by phone. Either way works. If you call, you talk to our team directly. If you book online, you pick a time slot and get a fast confirmation.
A few intake questions. We ask simple things: what problem you are seeing, where it is happening, and how urgent it feels. This helps us send the right plumber with the right tools. For homes in older parts of Madison County or around Norfolk Junction, this information helps us plan ahead for setups that may be different from newer homes. These small details also help shorten the visit, since the plumber can bring the right fittings, tools, or replacement parts instead of needing to come back later.
Appointment window and confirmation. You get a call or email so you know when to expect us. No guessing, no waiting all day without notice.

That is all you need to do. We handle the rest until the plumber arrives.

During the Visit: What the Plumber Will Do

The appointment itself is straightforward. Here is what usually happens:

Arrival you can trust. The plumber shows up on time in a Getzschman van. You know who it is before you open the door. Shoe covers are worn, and care is taken to protect your home.
Walkthrough of the problem. The plumber looks at the issue with you. We often ask when you noticed it first, how it has changed, and if it affects other parts of the house. This gives us clues before any tools come out.
Diagnosis and explanation. After inspection, the plumber explains the cause in plain words. You will hear what the options are and what makes the most sense for repair or replacement.
Clear cost before work. You get the price up front. No hidden charges. If the repair is not urgent, we say so. If it should be fixed soon, you will know why.

This part of the visit is meant to feel like a conversation. You should not feel pressured. It is your home and your choice.

After the Visit: What Happens Next

Once the repair or inspection is done, there are a few things you can count on:

Cleanup. The plumber tidies the work area before leaving. Tools and parts are picked up so the space looks the way it did before we started.
Invoice and follow-up. You get a clear invoice. If more work is needed later, it can be scheduled right then. Many Norfolk families like knowing the office will also follow up if the job is larger or needs planning.
Suggestions to prevent issues. If something could be upgraded or maintained to avoid future problems, the plumber will explain it. Examples are replacing an old valve or scheduling a drain cleaning before winter.
Written summary. A short note of what was done and what to watch for is left behind. Some homeowners like to keep these notes with their appliance manuals so they have a clear record of past plumbing work, which makes future visits easier and faster.

The goal is for you to feel finished with the visit, not left with questions.
