How To Know When You Need Emergency Plumbing Service
Plumbing problems can happen at any hour of the day or night. But how do you know when you should call the pros at Drain Surgeon immediately, or when waiting is acceptable? That can be tough when you are not familiar with plumbing and its issues. But to make that decision less stressful, our team has created a short list of plumbing disasters that we believe require immediate attention to limit the potential for costly water damage and contamination to your home.
Overvflowing Toilet
This is a more prevalent issue, and one that most homeowners will quickly agree requires immediate assistance. You are facing potential water damage, but there is also a significant concern about contamination from the raw sewage flooding your bathroom. Turn off the water to the toilet to prevent further issues and call (706) 303-0987 immediately if a simple plunge does not eliminate the blockage. Our pros will arrive quickly to fix the problem and restore the function of your toilet.
Sewer Line Blockage
This issue also holds the potential for both water damage and contamination of your home. When you find that many of the drains in your home are slow to clear and are making odd gurgling sounds, you most likely have a sewer line blockage. And this is a very serious matter.
Your home has only one pipe that carries all of the dirty water and waste from your home’s sinks, tubs, showers, and toilets to the city sewer system. And when this pipe is clogged or blocked, that nasty mess is going to begin to back up into your home. Before you have tubs full of raw sewage or floor drains flooding your home with sewage, call in the pros from Drain Surgeon. Emergency service is the only way to avoid a bad situation getting worse in the case of a sewer line blockage.
Burst Pipe
Most of the time, pipes only burst in the winter due to exposure to freezing temperatures. But in rare cases, you could have an older pipe that bursts from excessive water pressure or merely succumbing to old age. When a pipe in your home bursts, fast action on your part can save you thousands of dollars in water damage repair. Call the licensed plumbers at (706) 303-0987 immediately. Of course, if you are able to turn off the water supply to your home, you should. But this is never an issue that should wait for a repair. Your need water service to your home for everyday life and even the function of your appliances. And a lack of water can cause damage to expensive features like your swimming pool or spa.
Main Water Line Leak
This is a leak in the main water supply line to your home. You might begin to notice a sizeable moist area in your yard, lower water pressure in your home, or even bits of contamination in the water coming from your faucets. This waterline runs from the city main through your property and into your home. If your house has a basement, it is possible that the leak is located there. You will discover water on the basement floor.
Again, fast action will pay dividends. Call in the professionals from Drain Surgeon to get the leak repaired before your home suffers massive water damage. If the leak is in your yard, emergency repair service will save damage to your yard and also further contamination to your home’s water lines. The same leak that allows water to escape from the water line can also be allowing dirt and other contamination into your home’s water lines.
There are some plumbing issues in your home that are easy to work around for a few days until you can schedule a visit from a Drain Surgeon pro. But then there are others that require immediate attention to protect your home and the safety of your loved ones from the toxic mold that can be a byproduct of water damage.
In the end, our team is here to assist you 24/7 with any plumbing issue that is worrying you about water damage to your home or merely the waste of a valuable natural resource. You can call us anything at (706) 303-0987 to speak with a team member.
