Most plumbing calls end the same way: problem fixed, mess left, no explanation, no follow-up, back to hoping nothing breaks again. The Ascent Home Protection Plan changes all of that — permanently.
You're not being picky. You're being reasonable. And the plumbing industry has been letting homeowners down for decades with the same tired playbook.
Half a day of your life held hostage. Then they show up at 4:47. No apology, no discount, no acknowledgment that your time has value too.
"We found some additional issues while we were in there." Suddenly the $180 repair is $620. You feel trapped — the wall is already open.
Three guys tromp through your kitchen, leave tools on the counter, and walk out without so much as wiping down the sink. Your home was their jobsite.
Two weeks later the same problem is back. You call. Nobody remembers your name. The warranty "doesn't cover that." Start over from scratch.
Water pouring under the door. You start Googling. Half the numbers go to voicemail. The ones who answer quote $400 just to show up. You're panicking and they know it.
What did they actually do? Why? What should you watch for? Silence. You leave knowing less than when they arrived.
Marcus Webb started Ascent in 2012 after 10 years watching homeowners get treated like inconveniences instead of clients. The promise he made then is still the one we keep today.
Every technician is background-checked, TN-licensed, and trained on exactly one standard: leave this home better than you found it. Not just the pipes. The whole experience.
The Home Protection Plan is our highest expression of that promise. It's not just a service package — it's a relationship. One that puts you at the front of the line, keeps your home documented and protected, and gives you a plumber you can actually call a trusted resource.
"What would we want if this were our own home?"
The last plumber you'll ever need to call — and the first one who actually protects your home. Annual membership capped at 47 households per zone. When it's full, it's full.
This is what your membership delivers every single year, on every single call.
When something goes wrong, you call the member line and go to the front. Our guarantee: same-day response on all emergencies — or the service call is free. No exceptions, no fine print.
Twice a year, a licensed technician walks your entire home — supply lines, drain systems, water heater, fixtures, shutoffs, pressure, and all visible pipe runs. Written, photo-documented report after every visit. No other plumber in Chattanooga does this in writing.
Every repair and installation guaranteed for two full years. If it fails for any reason related to our work, we come back and make it right at zero cost. No "that's a separate issue" conversations.
Written price before we touch anything. If anything unexpected comes up mid-job, we stop and show you before proceeding. The number on your invoice will never exceed the number you approved. A written promise, not a policy that varies per technician.
Members never hear "we'll have to order that." We stock or same-day source everything needed for your repair. Your family won't go without hot water for four days over a supply chain excuse.
Every repair you have done as a member comes with 10% off all labor, parts invoiced at cost. Refer a neighbor who joins and your rate drops $50. Refer three and your next year is free.
These aren't upsells. They're the baseline we hold ourselves to on every single call — because they should have been the industry standard all along.
Shoe covers before we cross your threshold. Drop cloths protect your floors and counters. Every surface we touch gets wiped before we leave. You'll be hard-pressed to tell we were there — except the problem is fixed.
Fingerprints on cabinets, water spots on mirrors, grease on walls — we wipe it all before we leave. Every technician carries cleaning supplies and uses them as a standard final step, not an afterthought.
Before we pack up, your technician sits down with you and explains exactly what was done, why, what it cost, and what to watch for. Plain language. No jargon. As long as it takes.
We give you a real two-hour arrival window — not an "8 to 5." Miss it without advance notice and $50 comes off your invoice. Automatically. No arguments required.
We photograph before, during, and after — and email it to you within 24 hours. Permanent record of every repair, part replaced, and date. This protects you when you sell your home.
Old fixtures, cut pipe sections, packaging, all disposable materials — everything leaves with us. You don't find a pile of parts by the curb. Your home stays your home.
On top of everything already included, every member receives these service bonuses — covered by your annual membership at no additional charge.
We calculate your water heater's remaining life and what it's costing you monthly in energy waste vs. a modern tankless unit. Most homeowners are genuinely surprised — and knowing it arms you to make smart decisions before an emergency forces one.
Every October, we walk your exposed pipe runs, outdoor bibs, crawl space lines, and hose connections and give you a written freeze risk rating. In a Chattanooga winter this single check can prevent a $4,000–$12,000 insurance claim.
High water pressure is the silent killer of fixtures, supply lines, and water heaters — most homeowners never know they have a problem until something fails. We measure and document your baseline on enrollment and flag anything outside the safe range.
Every member receives instant access to the Ascent Digital Library — eight plain-language guides that make you a smarter homeowner and protect you from ever being taken advantage of again.
Step-by-step guide to the first 15 minutes of any plumbing emergency. Where your shutoffs are, what to do before we arrive, how to prevent hundreds in damage while you wait. Downloadable and printable — put it in the utility closet today.
A plain-language breakdown of the most common ways homeowners get overcharged or oversold — and exactly what questions to ask any contractor before you agree to a single thing. We wrote this because we're comfortable with you asking us the same questions.
Tank vs. tankless, gas vs. electric, which brands hold up, and what a fair installation price looks like in Chattanooga. Includes a 10-question checklist to use when getting quotes from any contractor.
A one-page seasonal checklist to catch early warning signs between visits — slow drains, pressure changes, water heater sounds, discolored water. Simple enough for anyone, specific enough to actually catch problems.
Chattanooga's water runs harder than most homeowners realize. This guide explains what hard water does to your pipes, fixtures, and appliances — and the simple, inexpensive steps that extend the life of everything water touches in your home.
A candid reference on which tasks homeowners can handle themselves, which look easy but aren't, and which violate code if you DIY. We'd rather you trust us than feel dependent on us.
Most leaks show up in your water bill before they show up on your floor. This guide teaches you to spot the early signature of a hidden leak, a running toilet, or a failing irrigation line — using nothing but your monthly bill.
A simple worksheet that calculates whether upgrading aging fixtures, a water heater, or a toilet makes financial sense — factoring in water savings, energy savings, and likely repair costs if you wait. Turns an emotional decision into a math decision.
An invitation-only private Facebook group exclusively for Home Protection Plan members. Not public. Not searchable. Yours as a member.
You save over $1,270 in the first year alone. That's 81% off real-world value — for less than $25/month.
Spots are zone-limited. When a zone fills, the waitlist opens.
"The inspection report alone was worth the membership. They found a slow drip behind my laundry room wall with no visible damage yet. Fixed for $140. My neighbor had the same thing and ignored it — paid $3,800 in drywall repairs six months later."
"Pipe burst at 10:30 on a Tuesday night in January. Called the member line and someone answered in two rings. Tech was at my house in 47 minutes. I don't know any other plumber in Chattanooga who does that."
"I've never had a contractor put shoe covers on before. Never had one wipe down my sink. Never gotten a written report with photos. Never been walked through what they did and why. Ascent does all of it, every time."
"If you're not completely satisfied with any service we perform — for any reason — we will make it right at no charge, or refund every dollar you paid for that visit. No fine print. No expiration date. No 'that's not covered under our policy' conversation. Our work has to earn your trust on every single call, or we haven't done our job."
— Marcus Webb, Owner & Master Plumber
We cap membership deliberately. Our same-day guarantee only works if we can actually keep it. When a zone fills, it closes — and the waitlist typically runs 3–6 months.
"We could take on more members. We choose not to. Because a guarantee we can't keep isn't a guarantee — it's a lie." — Marcus Webb
If your zone is full, you can join the waitlist. We still serve non-members for standard work — but the same-day guarantee and priority member line are exclusively for enrolled members. Emergency situations for non-members are handled on a best-effort basis alongside our member schedule.
The membership is not a home warranty. It does not cover the cost of repairs beyond our 24-month workmanship guarantee on work we perform. What it gives you is priority access, guaranteed response times, two annual inspections, and all the bonuses listed — so you catch problems early and get first-in-line service when something needs fixing. Repair costs are quoted separately and transparently before any work begins.
Yes — you can cancel anytime. Cancel within the first 30 days without using an inspection or emergency call and we'll refund your membership in full. After 30 days, your membership runs to its annual end date. We've never had a member ask for a refund, but we want you to know the option exists.
If you call the member line before 3pm on any day — including weekends and holidays — a technician will be at your home the same day. If we cannot fulfill that for any reason outside of acts of God, your service call is free. We define "emergency" as any active leak, no hot water, sewer backup, or water damage situation.
Members receive a 10% discount on all labor for any repair or installation performed during the membership year. Parts are invoiced at our cost with zero markup. You'll see both line items on every quote so you know exactly what you're paying for.
Within 24 hours of enrollment you'll receive a welcome email with download links for all 8 digital guides and a private invitation to the Ascent Inner Circle Facebook group. Access is yours to keep, even if you ever cancel your membership.
When your referral enrolls, we apply a $50 credit to your next annual renewal. Three referrals and your next year is entirely free. There's no limit to referrals and credits roll forward. We'll notify you by email each time a referral activates.
For less than $25 a month you get priority emergency response, two professional inspections, eight homeowner guides, a master plumber community, and a 100% satisfaction guarantee with no fine print. There's no scenario where this doesn't pay for itself.
30-day money-back guarantee · Cancel anytime · Instant access to all digital bonuses
