When To Call An Emergency Plumber?
Plumbing issues can definitely cause mess and trouble, but how do you know when your problem is more than just an inconvenience? We’ve put together this guide to help you know when it’s time to contact an emergency plumber.
Gas Leak
If you have a gas leak, you definitely have an emergency on your hands. Respond to any smell of gas by opening your windows and doors and by contacting an emergency plumber or gas fitter as soon as possible.
Roof or Gutter Leak
The size of your leak will inform whether your situation warrants an emergency callout. Smaller leaks might not be a great cause for concern, and you can keep them at bay by collecting water in a bucket until you can arrange help. If you have a large leak, your home could be at risk of significant damage, so it’s best to contact an emergency plumber as soon as you identify a problem.
Burst Pipes
Burst pipes can quickly cause damage if they’re not resolved straight away. If you notice a burst pipe, contact an emergency plumber as soon as you can, and make sure you turn off the water at your mains supply if it’s safe to do so.
Leaking Pipes
If you have a leak, make sure you turn off your water supply if possible and contact an emergency plumber. This will prevent excess water from filling your pipes and potentially flooding your home.
No Hot Water
While not having hot water might be more of an inconvenience than a problem, it can be a concern if you’re unsure why your hot water supply has failed. Before you contact a professional, inspect your system to ensure there’s power. It might seem obvious, but this simple check can prevent the time and expense of a callout.
Water Leak
A dripping tap might not make you worried, but it can cause damage if you don’t resolve it promptly. Even the smallest drip can become a gushing torrent, so it’s important you turn off your water supply and contact an expert emergency plumber when you can.
Blocked Toilet
A blocked toilet can cause an unpleasant and unhealthy mess. If your toilet’s not removing waste as normal, you may have a clog or blockage in your pipe, so it’s important you contact an emergency plumber immediately.
