Your Trusted 24 Hour Emergency Plumbers

Knowing when you should, and shouldn’t call an emergency plumber can make a lot of difference to your bank balance. If a leak, toilet, bathroom, or water heater crisis can wait until the morning or the start of a new working week, then your pocketbook and your family finances will both thank you for delaying that phone call.

And that’s why we’ve put together this brief guide to help you decide whether you need to make that call, or whether it can wait until the out-of-hours call-out fees don’t apply.

Finding A Leak

Some leaks are slow, some are fast, some are dangerous and some can be left alone until you have the time and funds to call a plumber.

However, if a leak has already caused any damage to the ceilings or floors of your home, then it needs to be dealt with as soon as possible, and in that situation, you can’t afford to wait and you need to call an emergency plumber as soon as you possibly can.

The location of a leak is also something that you’ll need to consider before you pick up the phone. If it’s anywhere near an electrical outlet or socket, again waiting to get it seen to isn’t an option as water and electricity don’t mix and can be a potential fire hazard and lead to an electrical short which will mean that you’ll need to then call an electrician to get that problem fixed.

It’ll be financially easier to just bite the plumbing bullet, make the emergency call and get help with water leak repairs immediately.

Ceiling Damage

If you’ve suddenly noticed brown stains on your ceiling or that they’re starting to bow and sag, then you’re going to need to call a plumber out as soon as you can, as both are symptoms of water damage and if it’s already caused those kinds of structural problems it means that the leak and the damage are only going to get worse.

Ceiling damage isn’t a wait-and-see kind of situation, call the emergency plumbers and get it fixed straight away scenario.

Overflowing And Leaking Toilets

An overflowing toilet is never good and it’s one of those problems that won’t just take care of itself. There are two main reasons why a toilet overflows: because it’s clogged which means it’ll overflow every single time you try to flush it, or because the float system in its tank is broken.

If it’s the former and you can’t clear the blockage with a plunger, you need to call a plumber as soon as possible because the water pouring out when pushing the flush isn’t just water and you don’t want to deal with the cleanup or the potential health implications of what might be pouring out of the bowl. Toilet plumbing repairs are a part of everyday life for your trusty local plumber!

If it’s the latter, then your toilet won’t stop filling up and the overflowing water can cause all sorts of flood and water damage in your home. Anything toilet-related should always be dealt with by an emergency plumber, and taken care of straight away. Even a toilet leaking at the base. After all, who can afford to be without a working toilet for more than a day or be cleaning toilet water off the floor?

What Happened To The Water Pressure?

If you turn on a faucet and you’ve got low, or no water pressure then that’s a red line water problem and a sure and certain sign that there’s a major water leak or a burst pipe somewhere on your property.

But before you do call an emergency plumber, check with your neighbors to make sure that they’re not suffering similar supply issues, because if they are, it could mean that mains have burst and the problem isn’t in your home, in which case you’ll have to wait it out until the city or your local municipality repairs the damage.

If it’s just you that’s plagued by low pressure, then you need to drop whatever it is you’re doing, and call an emergency plumber immediately. Any leak that’s large enough to cause a loss of pressure is serious enough to warrant that phone call and whatever it costs to get it fixed.

If you don’t deal with a pressure loss problem immediately, the damage it could end up causing could be economically devastating.

Can I Smell Gas?

If you smell gas, grab your smartphone, get out of your house and call an emergency plumber straight away. A gas leak isn’t something that should ever be taken with a pinch of salt and shrugged off, and as soon as you call an emergency plumbing service, they’ll make it their priority to get to you as quickly as humanly possible.

Don’t even think about hesitating or considering an alternative cause of action, if there’s gas involved it’s a threat to your life and that of your neighbors, and you should be dialing an emergency plumber’s number before you’ve crossed the threshold of your front door.

No Hot Water Or Heating – Water Heater Problems

A loss of pressure or a leak in your water heater can mean that there’s a leak in the plumbing system, and the sort of leak that can take a water heater down needs to be taken care of soon as possible.

And the sooner you call an emergency plumber for water heater repairs, the sooner you’ll have hot water and heat and can stop worrying about any damage that the leak in the system might inflict on your home.

Blocked Sewers And Dirty Water

If you’re hit by the kind of smell that most of us have nightmares about and it won’t go away, it could mean that your sewer line is either clogged or broken and could start to overflow, In which case, it isn’t just an unpleasant odor that you need to worry about, as it could also be a potential, health hazard, which means that you’ll need to pick up your phone and call a plumber immediately.

And if you’ve got discolored water flowing out a faucet, and our neighbors don’t, again, you’ll need to pick your phone up and call a clogged drain cleaning service, as the water won’t just be dangerous to your health it’s also a symptom of a serious plumbing problem somewhere in your home.
