Understanding Emergency Plumbing
Emergencies are often unexpected and can substantially damage your system and your home or business. Plumbing emergencies can create significant water damage to the structure, damage to your floors and belongings, and possible health hazards like mold exposure. Common emergencies are burst pipes, clogged drains or toilets that point to deeper problems, or leaking appliances such as water heaters and dishwashers. While a leaking water heater may not seem like an urgent situation, it could be a sign that it is about to burst or explode, causing extensive damage to wherever your water heater tank is.
Signs of an Emergency: When to Call for Emergency Plumbing Service
Sometimes, the signs of an impending plumbing emergency are subtle, such as a rising water bill, unusual sounds from your pipes, or an odor coming from your water. Calling Mr. Rooter when you notice these changes can save you money and stress from an emergency shortly. We will respond to examine your system, identify the problem, and repair any issues before a true emergency is upon you. Sometimes, there are no warnings, and the emergency happens. In this case, you can take steps to lessen the damage to your home or business.
