When Do You Need Emergency Plumbing Services?

We get this a lot: “How do I know when I have a plumbing emergency?” And in response we like to say, “When you know, you know!” It may sound silly, but it’s true. When you have an emergency, you tend to know it. And the good news is that if you overact all that will happen is that you’ll pay more to get your problem fixed than you needed to necessarily. But then it will be fixed! So, yes you will be spending extra money than if you had waited, but you’re not really wasting money because you are getting a big problem fixed right away so you can set your mind at ease about the situation.

Typically, a plumbing emergency will be either dangerous or create an extremely inconvenient situation (one that is unpleasant enough that you don’t want to wait any longer to get it fixed) or have the potential for getting worse quickly if you don’t do something about it. Here are some examples:

  1. Dangerous: A basement flooded with water from a leaking hot water heater can cause an electrical shock if the water is not turned off and cleaned up and the pipe fixed quickly. 
  2. Inconvenient: Your only bathroom has a badly clogged toilet so when you need to go your options are now the backyard or the fast food joint down the street.
  3. Escalating: A frozen pipe has burst and is spraying water inside your home, damaging flooring, walls, and furniture. You can’t seem to get the shutoff to work because it’s stuck, and you don’t know which other pipes may be frozen as well.

These are classic situations where you would want to call a 24-hour plumber because you need help right away. Many emergency plumbers will have a response time guarantee, either for giving you a call back or for when they will be on scene to fix the issue. When plumbers are willing to guarantee their response time before any work is even performed, this is a good sign that they are going to be reliable and trustworthy while you’re working with them.
