Top 3 Most Common Emergency Plumbing Repairs
If you've already experienced it, you know how troubling it can be; your plumbing is amiss, and you don't know if you can wait to get it fixed. Trying to avoid plumbing repairs is ideal, which is why it's a good idea to have maintenance inspections and address minor problems as soon as they become apparent. Unfortunately, however, sometimes the problem seems to materialize without prior warnings.
The best thing you can do to prepare for emergency repairs is to have a reliable and honest local plumber saved to your contact list, so you know who to call in an emergency. Also, make yourself aware of the most common issues, so you know if it's time to call for emergency plumbing service.
Are You Dealing With An Inconvenience Or An Emergency?
You don't want to call in a plumber after hours if you don't have to; we get it. But some plumbing problems are too significant to ignore. Here are some examples of service that probably can't wait for a scheduled service appointment time in the future:
- Burst or Leaking Pipes - A compromised pipe can waste hundreds of gallons of water over a 24 hour period! It can cause plenty of damage to your home and lead to mold problems, too. Based on the severity of the problem, this usually qualifies as an urgent service call.
- Overflowing Toilet - Suppose you've attempted to resolve the issue with a plunger, and it hasn't helped. In that case, this may constitute an emergency if it's spilling wastewater all over your bathroom or if it's your only household commode.
- Water Heater Leak - A leak is an unfortunate sign of the end for a water heater. It's important to minimize the damage from a leak and take care of replacement so your home can have hot water restored for comfort and sanitation purposes.
