Emergency Plumbing Services
It’s easy to fix a dripping faucet or a clogged sink drain, but what about when you can’t get to it? What if your pipes are leaking or a pipe has burst? Our emergency plumbers can help you in any of these situations.
What is considered a plumbing emergency?
You’re having trouble with your plunger. You’ve checked the water pressure but still can’t get it to work. You think you might leak the pipes under your sink. Some of these problems are easy to fix, but others are serious and could damage your home or even cause death if they aren’t treated immediately. If you need help with any of these issues, call an emergency plumber immediately.
When you think about plumbing emergencies, the first thing that comes to mind is a burst pipe. After all, you’re thinking of something that can put you out of commission for a while. But other things could also disrupt your life—and they’re much more common than you think. So why do so many people neglect their pipes? Well, it’s not exactly like you have to do anything major—just a little routine maintenance can help keep your house in order.
That’s why we’ve created this list of the most common plumbing emergencies and what they mean when they occur:
- A slow drip from faucets or taps: This is usually caused by a small leak in your pipe or joint. The water isn’t leaking everywhere at once; it’s just dripping slowly onto whatever surface it hits. Make sure to check behind all of your fixtures for leaks!
- A loud banging noise from your pipes: If you hear banging noises from your house, it probably means that some object is hitting the walls or ceiling above them
- Leaky Faucet: Most of the time, leaking faucets or hose bibs are a simple fix. This is because the leak is caused by a faulty valve, which can be fixed easily by replacing the valve. However, if you notice that your water pressure drops when you turn on your faucet, then you may have a problem with your pipes. In this case, we recommend contacting a plumber to inspect your system and determine whether it needs to be replaced or repaired.
- Boiler Breakdown: If you notice that your boiler is not heating up, several things could be causing it to break down. The most likely culprit is clogged filters or dirty or damaged filters. If this is the case, we recommend hiring a heating engineer to clean your filters, so they work properly again.
- Overflowing Toilet: You can easily fix this problem with a plunger and some elbow grease. If the toilet is overflowing, it’s likely because the water level in the bowl is too high. We suggest a plunger to lower the water level until it stops overflowing. If that doesn’t work, you’ll need to call a plumber.
- Flooding: Flooding can happen when there isn’t enough water pressure running through your pipes. This often happens during heavy rains or flooding in your area. To help prevent flooding, add more water pressure to your system by upgrading your plumbing fixtures (toilets and kitchen faucets) and pipes. If you have flooding in your basement, call us today. We’ll make sure your problems are fixed before they become bigger problems.
- Freezing pipes: When your pipes are frozen, you may experience low water pressure, discolored water, a loud banging noise or water not flowing through the pipes.
- Sewage smell: If you have a sewage odor coming from your kitchen sink, it could point to an issue with your sewage system. This could mean that there is more waste than usual in your drains and that bacteria has started growing in them, causing foul-smelling fumes to escape from the drain when it fills up with water during a flush cycle (which also happens when you use hot water). It may also be caused by a clog somewhere else in your plumbing system.
- Water Discoloration: It’s not hard to guess what might cause discolored water: maybe you’ve got a leaky faucet or appliance, or you need to replace the filter in your home’s tank. Either way, when that rusty or brown color starts coming out of your faucet, call us immediately, and we’ll send someone out!
- A water bill that’s higher than usual: your water bill could be higher than usual if you have a leaking pipe or appliance. This can be a sign of a bigger problem that needs to be fixed right away.For example, if you notice that your water bill has spiked significantly over the past year, even though you’ve been using less water than usual, this could indicate a blockage in one of your sinks. In this case, you’ll likely need to call in an expert to resolve the issue as soon as possible before it becomes more difficult or expensive to fix
- Leaking hose or appliance: A leaking hose or appliance can quickly become a disaster in the home, so it’s important to contact the emergency plumbing service immediately. Emergency plumbers are trained to handle problems like this quickly and effectively. The best part? They’ll be able to ensure that no one else gets hurt by a flood or burst pipe.
