Depends on the plumber. There are emergency plumbing services that respond 24 hours, but are very very expensive, for most regular plumbers you have to set up a time for them to come to your house. |

Yes but, they charge outrageous rates for weekends, holidays, and after hours. |

Some , it depends if they do emergency work or if they operate 9-5. Big companies might work 24/7 but smaller independent owned people might do their own thing and work 9-5. |

depends on the problem, sometimes yes but you have to pay extra to get them out. |

Huh?

Many plumbers and other tradesman concentrate on new construction, so they don't necessarily do a lot of service work. They work for developers on either commercial or residential construction projects that don't involve fixing leaks, changing Hot water heaters, etc. Some even outsource the warranty work so they don't even come back to fix problems.
When the economy takes a downturn and new construction falters the service plumber might be in better shape since customers have no choice to do some of the kinds of work he does. |

i wouldn't think so. if you call them after hours and you really need them desperately then they will charge you an arm and a leg. |

As long as their name isn't Joe, sure why not? |

There are many companies who have a 24 hour service available but that doesn't mean that a person works 24 hours they have people ON CALL for emergencies. but they do charge more for it. |

Yes they do. It's well established that plumbers can function on very little sleep. Plumbers are mistakenly referred a-kin to other creatures of the night, like the Owl or Werewolf but, surprisingly, they are actually more closely related to the Howler Monkey due to their propensity to handle feces.
The Common American Plumber (Pumberus Americus) was first discovered by their namesake, Joseph F. Plumberg, in 1928 on one of his excursions through the rain forests at Olympic National Park in Washington state. They were later bred in captivity at such a pace that they all but had wiped out the Common Mexican Plumber (Plumberus Mexicus) by 1981. However, through careful conservation methods, the Mexican Plumber has made a comeback, and was removed form the endangered species list in 1996.
