How To Know If Your Plumbing Problem Is An Emergency
When it comes to plumbing problems, it’s important to take every situation seriously and to know if you’re experiencing an emergency which should be taken care of straight away.
One seemingly small plumbing problem that should always be treated as an emergency is leaking pipes, and these pipes could come from your toilet, your sink, your hot water heater, or anywhere within the home.
If you think you hear a telltale “drip, drip, drip” it’s important to investigate where the sound may be coming from, and to determine if you have a leaking pipe in your home, as this water can create a far more dangerous situation rather quickly. Leaking water can lead to exposed wires as well as mold growth, two situations that can rapidly become hazardous to you, and your family’s, health and safety.
A clogged toilet may not seem like an emergency at first, but it can quickly get to that point, which is why we feel that clogged toilets should be fixed as quickly as possible.
A clogged toilet will most often first present you with an annoying inconvenience, as your fixture won’t be able to be used until its flowing freely once again, but the accidental use of the toilet can then create a situation where the toilet begins to overflow.
When a toilet overflows, you will then be exposed to used toilet water, thus allowing germs and bacteria to spread within your bathroom and beyond.
When you’re faced with a plumbing problem, it’s always best to contact the professionals before it turns into an emergency. Call us for 24 hour emergency plumbing services when you have any of the above mentioned problems.
