Emergency Plumbing 101
Plumbing incidents never seem to occur at a convenient time. They happen at any hour of the day or night, while at home or away on vacation. Without quick intervention your plumbing issue can quickly turn from inconvenient, to disastrous, leaving you with high repair costs of the interior of your home, or worse – its structure.
Emergency plumbing services are convenient offering 24-hour service calls no matter what time of day or night, weekend, or holiday. They are trained to address any type of plumbing issue from a flooding basement, toilet problem, even a hot water heater that suddenly goes on the blink.
Most companies do not charge an added fee for after-hour calls. You should check with the company regarding their fees before enlisting their services.
One way to avoid needing an emergency plumbing service is to take preventative measures ahead of time to help ensure your plumbing system is working correctly and efficiently. Some important preventative steps you can take, include:
Regular Leak Checks
In order to prevent plumbing emergencies, having regular checks for leaks throughout your plumbing system is crucial. Pipes corrode over time, they can become damaged in storms or due to root growth from trees in close proximity. One small leak may go unnoticed to the naked eye if you don’t know what you are looking for, but a professional plumber knows all the signs of a leaky pipe, both inside the home and out.
Regular checks on things like toilets, showers and water heaters helps prevent emergencies from developing when least expected. If a leak is found, it is critical to have the issue addressed and repaired before it has the opportunity to develop into a water damage risk.
Winterize Your Pipes
Cold months are common times to see plumbing emergencies. Pipes tend to freeze in lower temperatures and subsequently, rupture. This can happen at any time and without warning. It is important to prepare your plumbing system for winter by insulating your pipes with pipe sleeves you can get at any hardware store.
Up close to the home where the pipes enter the home, under skinks where pipes are close to outside walls and are more susceptible to the cold, these are common areas of concern.
Toilets, Sinks and Showers
Keep your utilities in working order. If you see water collecting under a sink, around the toilet or the shower, don’t ignore it or just deal with it. Have it repaired as soon as possible before it has a chance to become an emergency plumbing problem that can be much more costly.
