When a homeowner’s plumbing system malfunctions, it can create serious, and possibly very costly problems in the home. The sooner the homeowner can recognize that they have a serious problem with their plumbing, the sooner they can contact Emergency Plumbers to repair the problem.
Frozen Pipes
When the temperature drops inside the home, the pipes are at risk of freezing. When this happens, no water can come out of the faucet. If the problem is not taken care of immediately, it can lead to burst pipes. If this happens, it can result in a very damaging flood in the home. When the homeowner contacts Emergency Plumbers, they can defrost the pipes so that the water starts flowing properly, and the pipes won’t burst.
Clogged Sink or Tub
If the sink or the tub is clogged, the water will not go down the drain. This makes the sink and the tub completely useless until the clog is gone. Many homeowners will purchase a liquid drain cleaner to handle the problem, however, if the drain is completely clogged, the drain cleaner cannot get down to clean out the pipes. Also, these products can be very damaging to the pipes. If a homeowner has a clogged sink or tub, they would need to contact a plumber to snake the clog from the drain. It is the safest and most effective way to take care of the problem.
Leaking Water Heater
If a homeowner notices water around their water heater, they should contact an emergency plumber immediately. The longer the water heater leaks, the more damage it can do to the structure of the home. In most cases, the water heater can be easily repaired by replacing the valve or hose that is causing the leak. In more extreme cases, the leak could be coming from the tank itself, which would require the homeowner to purchase a whole new water tank.
Broken Water Lines
The water lines in a person’s yard can break due to tree roots, earthquakes, or if the homeowner is digging in areas that they should not be digging. Broken water lines can make a soggy mess in the yard. It can also create low water pressure and poor water quality. This is considered an emergency where a plumber should be contacted immediately.
