When to Call for Emergency Plumbing Services
Your plumbing should be worry-free if it’s well-maintained. However, for many homeowners, problems creep up when they least expect it. Here are the most common plumbing problems and when you’ll want to have a dependable plumber in your list of contacts.
- Slow Drains: When bits of food, soap, hair, or grease stick in your pipes, it causes your drains to run slowly.
- Running Toilet: When a toilet won’t stop running, you’re losing money with each gallon that goes down the drain. Call for help if you can’t stop the toilet from draining.
- Burst Pipes: When a pipe breaks because of freezing or corrosion, you risk property damage that can range in the thousands of dollars if you don’t get it repaired quickly.
- Low Water Pressure: If you’ve noticed a drop in your water pressure, it could be a problem with your supplier or a problem with your aerator. Call us to find out which it is.
- No Hot Water: Trying to take a hot shower in the morning and finding out there’s no hot water isn’t the best way to start your day, but it could indicate a water heater failure. Your tank may need draining, or you may need a new installation. Call us for help!
Don’t Ignore These 5 Failing Water Heater Signs
The last thing a family needs is to have no hot water, especially in the morning. No hot water often means a water heater failure. Fortunately, your water heater gives off signs that it’s ready to fail. Call us right away if you notice:
- Age: Age may be just a number, but with your water heater, the older it is, the more likely it is to fail. If your water heater is over 12 years old, think about a replacement.
- Discolored Water: If the water coming out of the spigot is brown or rusty, it’s a sign there’s something wrong inside your water tank.
- Strange Noises: A water heater that makes popping or rumbling noises is telling you to call for help right away.
Leaks: If you see water leaking around the base of the tank, call a plumber for help immediately. - Lack of Hot Water: If the water doesn’t stay as hot for as long as it used to, your water heater may need servicing or replacing.
If your water bill is rising, it could be a leak in the mainline. Call us for sewer line services today.
