When Something Fails and You Need a GC, Not Just “a Guy”

Burst pipes, sagging floors, soft decks, failing stairs, leaking overhangs and flickering electrical are not “wait until Monday” problems. They are liability, safety and property value issues stacked on top of each other.

Realty Repair Co., a division of APCON LLC (WA License #APCONL*825QO), runs emergency property repair throughout Tacoma and Pierce County with a structural, envelope and safety focus. We stabilize, diagnose and then build repair plans that work for both the property and the paperwork — insurance, lenders, buyers and boards.

Common Emergencies We Respond To

Water intrusion from burst pipes, failed supply lines and drain leaks
Sudden sagging floors, soft spots or structural movement in crawl spaces
Failing decks, balconies, exterior stairs and railings
Rotten overhangs, soffits, patio roofs and trim dropping material
Electrical issues causing breakers to trip or unsafe conditions
No-heat and mechanical failures impacting occupancy and safety
Storm, tree and impact damage to roofs and exterior structures
Inspection and insurance findings that suddenly have deadlines attached

Emergency Diagnostic Dispatch – How Pricing Works

$550 Standard Same-Day Dispatch — Includes emergency dispatch, first hour on-site, stabilization as needed and written repair options.

$750 After-Hours & Weekend Dispatch — Same scope for nights, weekends and holidays.

Additional time is billed at $150/hour beyond the first hour. Permanent repairs are quoted as lump-sum proposals after diagnostics so you are not guessing at the final bill.

Emergency Property Repair FAQ

What counts as an “emergency” versus a standard repair?

If there is active water, structural movement, safety risk, loss of critical services, or a deadline tied to habitability, insurance or closing, we treat it as an emergency. If you are not sure, call — we will tell you straight whether you need emergency dispatch or a standard visit.

Do you handle everything in one visit?

The first visit is focused on stabilizing the situation and understanding the cause and scope. Some issues can be fully resolved on that visit; others need follow-up work once we see what is behind finishes and structure.

Will my insurance pay for emergency repairs?

Coverage depends on your policy and the cause of loss. We are not adjusters, but we can provide detailed invoices, photos and descriptions that make it easier for your carrier to evaluate the claim.

Do you work with my existing plumber, electrician or roofer?

Yes. If you already have trusted trades, we can coordinate around their scopes and focus on structural, envelope and GC-level items so the overall plan still makes sense.

What if I just need advice before I decide?

You can call to talk through what you are seeing. If it sounds like a true emergency, we can dispatch. If it can wait, we will say so and steer you toward a standard diagnostic or the right service page.
