A plumbing emergency is considered a plumbing issue that will cause continued damage to your home the longer it's not fixed, including additional damage to your plumbing system, significant water damage to your property and even mold and mildew growth.
Some of the most common plumbing emergencies we repair include:
Sewage Back-Up
Do you see sewage coming out of your drains? Multiple clogs can usually cause this, so if you suspect that more than one clog in your home is getting out of hand, have your drains cleaned as soon as possible to prevent this hazardous plumbing emergency in the first place.
Overflowing Toilet
Everybody relies on their toilets more than once a day, so there's no wonder why they commonly have clogs that can turn into a major overflowing emergency. While a plunger may help, an emergency plumber may need to come in to stop it, clear the clog and repair any underlying issues causing the backed-up toilet.
Burst Pipe/Leaky Pipes
Whether a pipe has started leaking due to corrosion, increased pressure on your system, or possible tree root intrusion, rusted, cracked, or otherwise broken pipes can be hard to spot. If you have noticed any loss in water pressure, sounds of continuously running water, or a spike in your water bills with no explanation, immediate inspection and repair are crucial to locate and fix the leak.
Water Heater Leak
If your water heater is leaking, it's important to get it fixed right away. A leak could mean failure for your system and possibly even an explosion if the leak is caused by the pressure being too high inside.
Can't Shut Off Water
Your plumbing system should have a water shut-off valve, but sometimes it can be difficult to turn off. If you have trouble turning your valve, have noticed that your valve has started leaking, or you simply can't turn off your water in the middle of a plumbing emergency, request help right away!
