Some plumbing issues can wait for official business hours, while others need immediate attention. Here are common signs you have a plumbing emergency:
Leaky Pipes
Not all water leaks are an emergency, but if you notice signs of extensive leaks or flooding, call an emergency plumber right away.
Malfunctioning Water Heaters
If you suspect an issue with your water heater, hiring a plumber or HVAC technician will likely save you unnecessary spending and headaches.
Sewer Line Stoppages
A sewer backup points to a major plumbing issue that requires immediate attention from a plumber.
Frozen Pipes
If water freezes in your pipes, it can cause:
- Cracking
- Leaks
- Splitting
- Pipe bursting
If no water comes out of your faucet after turning it on, your pipes may be frozen. Contact a plumber right away to resolve the issue.
Toilet Overflows
If water is spilling out of your toilet even after you’ve tried to unclog it, call an emergency plumber. Overflowing toilets can lead to bacteria growth, respiratory issues, and diseases.
Gas Line Problems
If you’ve detected a leak in your gas line, contact your local emergency plumbing service to fix the leak before it leads to anything more dangerous.
