When to Call Emergency Plumbing Services

Emergency plumbing situations require professional help to minimize the amount of damage that could occur due to flooding. Here are some situations that would require you to call an emergency plumbing company. 

Burst Pipes: When pipes burst there is the potential for extensive flood damage to occur. Check if your water pressure has dropped and for water stains on your walls and ceilings, if you see anything contact an emergency plumber immediately. 

Severe Clogs: Minor clogs can be resolved by using a snake in the drain, but larger clogs can cause foul odors and water to get backed up in your home. Whether it is a clogged toilet that will not flush, or a shower drain that leaves you ankle-deep in water, emergency plumbers can provide a quick and effective solution. 



Overflowing Toilet: An overflowing toilet is gross, will cause water damage in your home, and will spread bacteria throughout your home. When you notice a toilet overflowing or starting to overflow, you should try using a plunger. If a plunger does not work, our emergency plumbing team can determine the cause of the overflow and fix it promptly to prevent further damage and contamination. 

Sump Pump Failure: For homes with basements a working sump pump is essential to prevent flooding, especially in areas with heavy rainfall. If you notice that your sump pump is not functioning correctly or if there is visible water pooling in your basement, it is time to call emergency plumbing services to prevent a full-blown flood.
