Most people don’t think about their plumbing system until there is a problem or emergency, which is why Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Savannah is happy to help! We understand there is never a good time for an emergency, but we are here to remedy the problem quickly. We have been responding to emergencies for almost two decades and know how to work quickly and calmly in stressful situations.
The system in your home or business doesn’t have a schedule so an issue could arise anytime. When handling an emergency, it is important to have an experienced and educated team that can make decisions, diagnose the problem, and repair it promptly and safely. Mr. Rooter is that team.
Common Plumbing Emergencies
- Clogged Toilets: A clogged toilet is the most common type of plumbing emergency. Even if you have more than one toilet, any clogged drain can lead to other drains clogging or having wastewater backup. Toilets often get clogged because of flushing items that shouldn’t be flushed, such as a child’s toy or the wrong paper product.
- Water Leaks: Pipes can begin to leak for many reasons. Small holes or cracks caused by age, tree roots, or clogs are the most common reasons why. When you first notice a leaky pipe, it may be best to turn off the main water line before anything is damaged in your home, business, or landscaping. Minor leaks can quickly become major ones, so call us immediately.
- Clogged Drains: Drains become clogged when they are not routinely cleaned or if they are damaged. The first sign of this is when your bathtub or sink isn’t draining properly, and it is a good idea to have it repaired by a professional plumber before a more significant problem occurs.
- Gas Line Problems: Gas leaks are a health hazard and should be examined and repaired immediately. We can inspect your gas lines, locate the problem, and repair it ASAP. If you notice a gas smell, leave the home and call us so we can keep everyone safe.
Best Ways to Avoid Plumbing Emergencies:
While you cannot completely avoid plumbing emergencies, you can help prevent them. The easiest way is to inspect your system routinely for hidden concerns. This way, we can fix them before an emergency occurs!
You should also know where the main water valve is and how to turn your water off. If a pipe bursts or leaks, you can minimize or mitigate any damage to your home, business, and belongings.
Some issues arise because the system is being misused, like food that shouldn’t be put down the disposal. Be proactive and make sure you know how your system works. If you have any questions, we can always answer them during a routine maintenance inspection.
Lastly, make sure you have our phone number handy! This way, in an emergency, you can call immediately. If, for some reason, we cannot respond promptly, we will try to find you a respected plumber in the area who is available.
What Some of Our Customers Are Saying About Us
Darien Birks: Felix and Will were great. We were in a tough spot and needed some emergency work done to hold us over until we finished the complete process—and they came through big time. Thorough, informative, solution-oriented, transparent, and professional. I’d specifically request these two for any future issues we might have.
Paul H: I had a water emergency over the Easter holiday, called several "24-hour" plumbers and none of them bothered to help me except ONE.
Mr. Rooter sent Josiah to repair my broken pipe and install a new HOSE bibb, which caused the emergency. He was very professional and efficient and completed the repair quickly. While it cost more than a normal job, I was lucky to find him on short notice on a holiday. Thanks to Mr Rooter my Easter weekend wasn't a TOTAL WASH OUT!! (pun intended)
Alma Pacheco: I needed an emergency service and they were able to come within the hour on a weekend. Josh Owens was stellar! So knowledgeable and patient. He was able to find the source of the problem, diagnose it and fix it. Took photos to show me as well. I highly recommend him.
