When something goes wrong with your plumbing, it’s easy to feel like it’s an emergency and needs to be taken care of right away. But not every plumbing issue is an emergency, and it’s important to be able to figure out the difference between a situation that is urgent and one that still requires your prompt attention but doesn’t need to be taken care of right away.
Here are some of the top signs that a plumbing issue is an emergency:
- A risk of flooding—If a sewer backup, burst pipe, or water shut-off valve failure occurs, your home could be at risk of flooding. Take care of the problem right away to prevent major damage to your home.
- Sewer backup—When a sewer backup occurs, not only are you dealing with a health hazard, but you’re also looking at a plumbing problem that could cause major damage. Get our plumbing professionals to your home as quickly as possible to take care of this issue.
- Multiple clogs—When one drain clogs, it’s a good idea to get it looked at. But if multiple drains in your home clog all at the same time, this constitutes a plumbing emergency. If you ignore these clogs in multiple drains, you could eventually be looking at a full-scale backup.
