Our 24-hour emergency plumbing services are here to help when plumbing problems strike when we least expect them.
The real problem is when they strike in the middle of the night or after business hours. Unfortunately, most tend to leave it until the morning – a costly, catastrophic mistake! A mistake that you should not be repeating.
Sometimes, these problems aren’t just damaging; they’re dangerous. For example, if left overnight, you risk sewage contamination or water coming into contact with electricity!
But how can you be sure it’s an emergency?
To help you decide, here are four severe signs that you need 24-hour emergency plumbing services ASAP!
#1 Furious Flooding
If water is pooling rapidly in a room, you may have a burst pipe on your hands. Likewise, if water is shooting out from the ground outside, it could be a burst water main.
In either case, this problem is not only costly but highly damaging.
This much water can easily cost you thousands in restoration services, irreversibly damage your possessions and home structure, and cause Mould issues.
Turn off your water supply and call a plumber ASAP!
If the flooding within your properties is generally from burst pipes/hoses or flooding which have ruptured and caused significant water damage.
We recommend turning off the main water supplies to the property. Then make sure is no risk of water leaking onto your electrical power points or outlets, and turn off the circuit breakers labelled protected power. Water onto any fixtures will cause and safety hazard.
#2 Strange Smells and Sewage
If you notice a foul smell, or even sewage, rising back up through your pipes and drains, you have a severe problem!
This is a sign that your sewer line has been blocked, and raw sewage is backing into your plumbing system.
Forget disgusting; this dangerous problem warrants hiring 24-hour emergency plumbing services!
Sewage is a breeding ground for nasty bacteria and parasites – not the type of visitors you want to stay the night.
#3 Without Water
Check to ensure the problem is pervasive and not a single plumbing outlet.
If your whole home is without water, this is a silent sign of a severe leak or collapse within your main water line!
Leaking water can rack up a colossal bill in minutes, not hours. So, you should call an emergency plumber before it worsens.
#4 Water Within Your Walls
Can you hear the sounds of running water within your walls? Even when no one is using it.
Well, it sounds like you have a severe plumbing problem. But unfortunately, this is the sound of a hidden leak lurking behind your walls!
The longer you leave it, the worse it gets – seeping into your foundation, structure, walls, cladding, floors, and more.
To prevent paying hundreds of dollars in damage, call an emergency plumber asap!
