24-Hour Emergency Plumber — Because Stuff Happens
Anyone with children knows how fast a great day can go south once a toddler discovers the flush lever on the toilet. It can turn a nice summer evening into a downpour in the living room when an upstairs toilet begins to overflow. Countless other plumbing accidents and incidents can have you grabbing for your phone in search of a 24-hour emergency plumber. These are a few situations when it is best to call in a plumber after-hours rather than waiting for business hours.
Sewage Backups
Sewage backups occur for many reasons and can cause untold damage to your home's flooring — not to mention force you to engage in costly cleanup services. Every minute the backup continues creates more damage and costs you more money, making it well worth the costs of calling in a 24-hour emergency plumber.
Prevention is always the best cure. Unfortunately, many homeowners don't even realize this is a possible issue until they are experiencing it for themselves. Don't forget to ask your plumber how to prevent future backups so this doesn't happen in your home again.
The Water Shut-Off Valve Is Stuck
If you are experiencing a plumbing emergency that would wait until morning, except that the emergency shut-off valve isn't working, won't budget, or came off in your hands, then you need to contact a 24-hour emergency plumber. Your plumber can fix the problem for you so that the water is no longer pouring into your home, sparing you from further water damage.
It's almost always a battle between which cost is greater. Water is a destructive force. If you can't stop the flow of water into your home, it is well worth calling in emergency plumbing services at any time of the day or night to stop it for you.
Your Pipes Have Burst or Are at Risk of Bursting
When pipes burst, water flows at alarming rates causing untold damage to the structure of your home and your possessions. This is not typically an emergency that can wait until morning to correct. In fact, taking a wait-and-see approach could cost you on many fronts. In addition to the costs of repairs from water damage, you could find yourself facing a shocking water bill when the water clears. The longer the situation goes unchecked, the more it will ultimately cost. It is well worth the costs of bringing in a 24-hour emergency plumber to repair the pipe immediately rather than run the risks of waiting.
While no one wants to endure the costs of calling a 24-hour emergency plumber into their home, when the emergency is real, it can cost considerably less than waiting for business hours.
