What are common plumbing emergencies?

4 most common emergencies

Residential and commercial emergencies can happen anytime, and instead of panicking, you must be aware of these common issues so you can handle them wisely when any trouble occurs. While some emergencies can be massive, there will also be some emergencies that will be too small that you’ll fix them as soon as possible by yourself. Here are some of the common plumbing emergencies you can face in daily life.

Burst pipes

Burst pipes can happen anytime, but this issue usually happens during the winter. It is one of the emergencies we all have faced at least once or multiple times in our lifetime. This issue can happen because of the old pipelines, or there can be any other reason as well. However, this is something that will damage your home or business and affect the functionality of the place. In this situation, you’ll be required to turn off the water completely from the main line, and then you can call professionals to deal with this issue to avoid further damage.

Running toilets

If you feel like water is constantly running in your toilet, then it is evident that you have a running toilet emergency, as this can also end up with an overflowing toilet, and we are pretty sure that you’re not going to like it. This problem usually happens because of the worn-out flapper valve, and you also end up wasting two hundred gallons of water per day. You can try using a plunger, and if the problem doesn’t solve, then you need to call a plumber on an emergency basis.

Clogged garbage disposal

Garbage disposal allows you to put your food waste down the drain, but it can also get clogged occasionally. This usually happens when you put non-disposable and non-organic food down the drains or try running the garbage disposal without water. In case your garbage disposal is making any weird noise or not working correctly, you must get it checked for damage before it stops working completely.

Gas leak

This is one of the most severe plumbing emergencies that need immediate action. You must be attentive and regularly check your gas pipes. If you listen to any sound of a gas leak, shut off the gas entirely from the primary connection, which is usually a red handle behind the stove. After switching it off, you should call professionals to inspect the issue properly and get it fixed on an urgent basis. Also, the same rules apply to heaters and furnaces, and you should never delay this emergency to ensure the safety of your household or business.

How can I prevent an emergency?

Well, we usually don’t even consider plumbing systems until we face any emergency that usually ends up damaging us a lot or costing too much. However, you can definitely avoid plumbing emergencies to some extent if you take some precautions and maintenance steps to save yourself for the long term. Following are some tips to help you maintain your plumbing systems better.

If you have old construction at your home or commercial building, then you must avoid hanging anything from your pipe because it will make it weak, which can result in breakage anytime.

Be conscious about what you’re putting down the drains, and avoid putting any solids and non-disposable food such as oils, fats, egg shells, and others, which will cause you clogged drains.

Always schedule routine plumbing maintenance so you can deal with the issue before it becomes an emergency.

Why should I call a professional in an emergency?

The plumbing system is critical and must be dealt with expertise and professionalism to avoid further harm. Experts with skills will analyze the reason for the problem better and solve the issue better to avoid it for prolonged use. They handle repair with extra care and professionalism to make sure you get the quality installation of any fixture. Taking professional services is less expensive than ending up with additional issues that will cost you a lot more in the future.
