When Plumbing Calls for Emergency Action

A "plumbing emergency" is more than just an inconvenience; it's a critical situation that can lead to significant water damage, health hazards, and costly repairs if not addressed immediately. But what truly constitutes an emergency?

Here are clear signs you need emergency plumbing service:

• Burst Pipes: Gushing water is a huge red flag. Turn off your main water supply immediately and call for help.
• Severe Leaks: Leaks that are rapidly filling buckets, spreading quickly, or causing water stains on ceilings or walls.
• No Water or Very Low Pressure: Could indicate a major pipe break or issue with your main water line.
• Sewage Backups: If wastewater is backing up into your sinks, tubs, or toilets, it's a serious health hazard.
• Water Heater Failure (Leaking or No Hot Water): While not always a gushing emergency, a leaking water heater can quickly cause extensive damage.
