What Constitutes a Plumbing Emergency?

July 5th 2022

Burst pipes

Burst pipes are more common in the winter due to freezing temperatures. If a pipe bursts in your home, shut off the main water supply immediately.

Faulty water heater

A faulty water heater can wreak havoc in your home. Not only will you suffer without hot water but an unattended faulty water heater can be a fire hazard as well. In these instances, you’ll need the services of a professional plumber to provide emergency plumbing service.

Sump pump failure

Your sump pump is one of the most important things in your home. This is because it pumps out any excess water that gets into the basement or crawlspace and sump pumps are continuously working to protect your home from potential mold, wood rot and more! If your sump pump ever fails then you need to take action to fix it fast because once water damage sets in you’re going to be facing a lot more damage repair work in the future.

Leaky pipes

Homeowners most often notice ceiling stains, loose tile, warped hardwood floors, discolored paint or wallpaper and musty odors as the first signs of leaky pipes. The next thing you know you are contending with standing water in your basement or crawl space. If you experience any of these signs it is important that you take care of business as soon as possible—better to be safe than sorry!

Washing machine hose leak

Be on the lookout for pooling water underneath the washing machine—a sure sign of a leak in the hose itself. Leaking hoses can commonly be addressed by replacing them but if left untreated, they have the potential to become much more serious.

Clogged sewer line

There are several warning signs that can indicate you have a clogged drain or sewer line. Clogged sewer lines are not only frustrating and inconvenient, they can also damage your property. Water leaking from drains and musty odors emanating from the toilet, floor drains, and bathroom sinks are telltale signs of clogged drains in the home.
