Emergency Plumbing Services

Not every plumbing problem requires an expert touch for someone handy with a wrench. Maybe you have the skills to handle minor repair issues, but don't let leaks and clogs go unchecked. Even small leaks can severely damage the walls and floors of your home. And if a clogged toilet spills raw sewage into your house, it presents a health hazard. For those stubborn clogs and leaks, a professional plumber can quickly resolve the issue. Some top plumbing emergencies that need a pro's touch include:

• Leaky fixtures and hoses
• Broken water lines
• Burst pipes
• Nonfunctioning water heater
• Sewer system backup

With plumbing, the old adage is true: an ounce of prevention really is worth more than a pound of cure. Drains take a lot of abuse. Hair, grease, and even small objects get flushed down the drain and over time all those materials build up along the sides of your pipes, which can slow or stop the flow of water. The added pressure on your pipes can cause slow leaks, and in some cases, the pipe to burst. Having your drains cleaned by a professional not only prevents clogs from forming, but it also extends the life of your pipes.

When you do get a clog that stops the flow of water, you might be tempted to reach for a chemical solution. Chemical clog removal products use acids to dissolve the clog. However, chemicals don't know the difference between your pipes and a clump of hair and can slowly degrade the sides of your pipes. Calling a professional to clear your clogged drain is the safest choice for your pipes.

If you want to avoid these issues altogether, be sure to talk to our staff about scheduling regular plumbing maintenance. This can help keep your pipes working properly, while also preventing major emergencies.

Properly maintained, a water heater system can last up to 10 to 12 years. Over time, however, sediment accumulates at the bottom of the tank and calcium deposits can form around critical connections. Leaving these issues unresolved shortens the life of your water heater. That's why it's so important to have a qualified plumber inspect your water heater annually.

With regular maintenance, you can improve the water quality in your home, cut down on your energy costs, and enjoy more consistent water temperatures. And if you're looking for an even larger change in your water heating system, be sure to ask our staff how tankless water heaters can help your home.
