Our Emergency Plumbing Services
Not sure if your repair counts as an emergency plumbing service? If it’s causing undue stress, extra wear or damage to your equipment, potential damage to your home, or compromising your and your family’s health, that overflowing toilet or broken water heater are probably plumbing emergencies.
Here are some of the common emergency plumbing issues we handle:
Burst pipes
Small pipe problems can quickly become major leaks or even burst pipes. This can result in gallons of water pouring into your home which can cause significant damage and compromise the integrity of your ceilings, walls, floors, and belongings.
Common causes of burst pipes include:
- Frozen pipes
- Pressure buildup from obstructions and clogs
- Rust and corrosion
- Aging
- Invasive tree roots
- Poor installation
Sewage backup
Sewage backups impact your plumbing’s proper functioning and pose a health hazard. Improperly draining sewage and wastewater can contaminate your clean water, damage your home and furniture, and lead to mold growth. If you notice sewage odors, gurgling from your fixtures, and sinkholes or water pooling in your yard, call our plumbers to find and address the problem.
Clogged pipes and fixtures
Toilets, sinks, baths, and showers are some of your most-used plumbing fixtures. Backups are a major disruption to everyday life and ignoring them can quickly lead to bigger problems like sewage contamination or damaged pipes. If DIY unclogging doesn’t resolve the issue, repairs are best left to our pros.
Water heater breakdown
With your water heater likely hidden in your basement, it’s easy to forget about it until your shower is suddenly ice-cold. When your heater breaks down and can’t supply hot water, it can lead to frozen and sometimes burst pipes. Leaks can turn into a flooded basement in a matter of hours and broken valves can cause burst tanks.
Sump pump failure
A sump pump helps protect your home from flooding, which is crucial due to North Carolina’s many hurricanes, thunderstorms, and rainstorms. Your sump pump may fail because of lack of power, broken components, and other issues, leaving your home unprotected from water damage.
Miscellaneous water leaks
From pipes in your walls to underneath your sink, any part of your plumbing system can leak. Small leaks aren’t always urgent concerns, but bigger leaks can become hazards if they cause water damage to your home’s structure or intersect with your electrical system.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should I call an emergency plumber?
Plumbing emergencies can be anything that threatens the health and safety of your home and doesn’t have an immediate or simple solution.
To determine how severe your emergency is, consider factors such as:
- Level of inconvenience: Some emergencies are less urgent than others — for example, a clogged toilet in the middle of the night can probably wait for repair in the morning.
- Weather: A properly functioning water heater is a necessity during winter storms and cold temperatures. Likewise, you can’t go without running water on a hot day.
- Damage potential: Small leaks are unlikely to cause significant damage, especially if you can turn the fixture’s water off. Burst pipes and other issues require immediate attention.
Can I attempt to fix the issue myself before calling an emergency plumber?
Depending on the problem, there are several DIY strategies you can try. Use a plunger or snake if you have a clogged fixture. If you have a leaking fixture and have a basic understanding of plumbing, swap out the broken parts.
What are the potential risks of delaying the plumbing repair until regular business hours?
Emergency plumbing problems can quickly escalate overnight or over the weekend, potentially leaving you with far bigger issues than a prompt plumbing repair. Some risks of delaying repair include:
- Major property damage
- Compounded issues and complex repairs
- High repair costs
- Bacteria, mold, and other health hazards
What should I do to mitigate further damage while waiting for the emergency plumber?
Many emergencies need professional solutions, but that doesn’t leave you helpless. For major leaks and floods, turn off the water to your house. If you’re concerned that leaks may reach your electrical wiring, turn off your home’s power at the main breaker.
