How To Know When to Call a 24 Hour Plumber
Thankfully, most plumbing problems don’t require immediate attention. However, sometimes waiting to book an appointment isn’t an option. Here are the most common plumbing issues that warrant calling an emergency plumber.
A pipe burst can cause significant water damage, mold, and mildew growth.
No Water
If you suddenly have no water throughout your house, it could be an issue with your supplier or your main water line.
Gas Leaks
Gas leaks are exceptionally dangerous and can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning, a fire, or an explosion.
Leaking Water Heater
Like a burst pipe, a leaking water heater can flood your basement, causing significant water damage.
Backed Up Sewer
When a sewer backs up, waste can flow up from the drains. Sewer waste carries bacteria and harmful pathogens that could make your family sick.
Blocked Drains
If a blocked drain doesn’t respond to plunging or a drain cleaner, call for help.
If there’s doubt about whether to call for emergency help, we recommend erring on the side of caution and calling to be safe.
