When To Call For Emergency Plumbing Repair

What qualifies as a plumbing emergency? Here are some common indicators that a problem needs to be addressed quickly.

  • Water pressure is suddenly low. This could indicate a break in a water pipe.
  • The ground in your yard is spongy or soft. A water leak could be saturating the soil.
  • You can’t clear a drain clog using drain cleaning products.
  • You smell an unpleasant odor coming from your sinks or drains. This indicates that sewage is not draining from your home properly.
  • Water backs up into your sinks when other fixtures are being used. This can mean a clog in the main sewer line.
  • A drain is clogged completely. This can quickly lead to overflowing and major water damage.

FAQs

A drain that empties slowly is an indication that debris is creating a clog in the pipe. The clog will inevitably completely stop the water from draining, at which point the fixture will be unusable. In the worst case scenario, running water will overflow into your home, causing expensive water damage.

Shutting off the main water supply to your home is the quickest way to guarantee that water will stop leaking from damaged pipes. Our technicians can show you how to locate and switch off the valve that controls the water flow to your home from the public water supply.

Unpredictable water pressure changes are a warning sign that something is wrong with your plumbing. A cracked pipe can lead to water pressure dropping as water escapes into the ground, and a failing valve or safety measure can allow water pressure to rise. High water pressure can damage your pipes, so it is important to have this problem addressed right away.

They were very helpful and prompt to attend to our need. I would do more stars if I could. If you have plumbing or septic needs for sure give them a call. They also gave advise on how to avoid future issues that we weren't even aware of as new homeowners who have not had as much experience with a septic tank.
