That's going to depend on how rural you are.

I live in a rural area. I found a hole in my main drain pipe Saturday. I called a plumber and he was there in less than an hour and had it fixed up in a jiffy. I've never had problems getting a professional out for anything.

Rural doesn't mean living hours away from any town.
