The Importance of Managing Plumbing Emergencies ASAP<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
Here\u2019s the thing you need to understand about plumbing\nemergencies: they cost more than standard plumbing services, but only upfront;\nmanaging a plumbing emergency saves you thousands of dollars in repairs,\nrenovations, and maintenance, down the line. Here is a list of what most\nprofessional plumbers will tell you is an emergency situation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Examples of Plumbing Emergencies:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
\u26a0 Gas Leaks or Lingering Gas Smells
\u26a0 Flooding (i.e. Carpets, Floors, Basement, Lawn, Etc.)
\u26a0 Wet or \u201cSweaty\u201d Walls
\u26a0 Large Amounts of Standing Water in Lawn
\u26a0 Burst Pipes
\u26a0 Frozen Pipes
\u26a0 Sump Pump Problems and Defects
\u26a0 Major Water Leaks that Can\u2019t Be Stopped with Main Water Shutoff Valve <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here are some examples of Non-emergency plumbing situations:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\u2705 Clogged Toilet or Drain
\u2705 Running Toilet
\u2705 No Hot Water
\u2705 Small Water Leaks (i.e. Faucet, Showerhead, Sink, Etc.)
\u2705 Moderate Leaks that Can Be Stopped with Main Water Shutoff Valve
\u2705 Broken Plumbing Fixture<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When determining whether or not a plumbing issue is an\nemergency, ask yourself these questions:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Can it Wait? Think about the seriousness of the issue and if\nleaving it alone until morning or the next business day will cause more damage.\nIf you can mitigate the issue, like catching dripping water in a bucket, you\nprobably don\u2019t need emergency service. On the other hand, if it is something\nthat needs to be functioning at all times, like if you only have one toilet, it\ncould be an emergency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Will Turning Off the Main Water Valve Help? As mentioned,\nsome plumbing leaks can be managed on your own through the night without\ncalling for emergency service. A leak can be managed through the night by\nturning off the specific and main water valves; and then calling for plumbing\nservice the next day. On the other hand, larger water leaks, like burst pipes,\nneed emergency repair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
