Many emergency plumbing issues can be stabilised with some easy preliminary actions. Understanding what to do when a problem occurs will make the emergency much easier to deal with. The following situations require immediate attention:
Leaky Pipes
Unfortunately, there is very little you can do when you have a leaking pipe. Leaking and broken pipes always require a professional to repair or replace them. Whether it’s a small leak or a large one, it’s important to have leaks repaired quickly to minimize damage. Don’t attempt self-diagnosing, pouring chemicals or other solutions down your drains, or applying a homemade patch to the pipe; this will not just slow down any professional repair work, but it can also spread the problem further.
Clogged Sink Drain
A clogged sink is something that can usually get unclogged with a plunger or a drain snake. If that doesn’t work, don’t resort to a chemical drain that could damage your drainpipes. Severely clogged sink drains can prevent the flow of water & lead to a plumbing emergency. It’s important that clogs are located & cleared quickly. Ignoring recurring clogs can lead to damaged pipes that may have to be completely replaced, so it’s always better to call a professional plumber to fix the clog .
Overflowing Toilet
Unfortunately, toilet issues are a big nuisance and a clogged toilet is one of the most common issues. Leaks can occur due to a wide range of breakages, and some may be caused by more significant plumbing issues. If your toilet starts to overflow, avoid using any of the plumbing in your home until your plumber can identify the cause of the backed-up toilet. It is best to fix a clogged toilet as soon as possible to help you avoid any wastewater damage the overflowing toilet may cause.
Pipe Bursts
Pipe bursts usually happen spontaneously and without any warning. A pipe burst in your home may cause intense water damage, depending on the severity of the pipe damage. A pipe burst happens when a significant increase in the water pressure builds up in the weak joint of a pipe. Too much water pressure can lead to a pipe bursting or cause a plumbing fixture to fail, such as a faucet or toilet. As soon as you discover a burst pipe, shut off the main water supply and immediately call for an emergency plumber, for your needs.
Overheating or No Hot Water
Another issue that affects water heaters is a fault with the heating mechanism. Hot water malfunction can lead to either no hot water or extremely hot water coming out of your taps.
In this situation, turn off your water heater. In case of extremely hot water, you can also turn on the hot water taps throughout your home if you can do it safely. This way all the hot water will be drained out.
Sewer Backup Issue
The most common type of sewer backup comes from clogged pipes, which come from toilet paper, hair, & grease. Multiple drain clogs, water pooling around basement floor drains, & gurgling sounds coming from plumbing fixtures are signs of a sewer system backup. When a sewer line backs up, sewage sits at its backup point & creates a health hazard. If a clog is serious enough, raw sewage can back up into your home, putting your family at risk. It’s necessary to call a plumber to remedy the problem immediately.
