EMERGENCY PLUMBING

A busted pipe is a common after hours, emergency problem. It’s challenging to find a reason for the break, but many things can contribute to this plumbing emergency. Some of the most common factors for plumbing bursts are misuse, frozen pipes, and drain lines, age, water pressure, and damage.

An overflowing toilet is a big 24 hour emergency, especially if it’s the only restroom in the home. The key is to find out what is causing the toilet to clog. Ask any plumber, and they will tell you that the most common reason for a commode failure is a clogged drain line. Most people grab the plunger and hope the clog goes further down the line. Sometimes a plunger can work wonders, but the problem may be more serious. If there is an obstruction in your Sutherland Shire home that is preventing the water from escaping, a little plunger won’t do the trick. A plumber can find it using specialized equipment.

Your gas lines provide you with natural elements that keeps your family warm in the shower and the home. Unfortunately, while this element provides so much comfort, there is also a volatile nature to it. If not handled properly, gas lines can be explosive. It’s easy to see why this is an after hours, plumbing emergency.

Taking a cold shower can be a real wakeup call that something is wrong with your water heater. Water heaters have a long lifespan, but they don’t last forever. If you find that your water is lukewarm and then turns completely cold, it could be something as simple as a thermostat problem. A cold shower is a 24 hour plumbing emergency.

Many things can cause a tap to malfunction and not shut off properly. It can be a simple fix where the washer has come out of the faucet, or it can be many other things. The longer the water runs, the more money it will cost you on your Sutherland Shire water bill. Try to find the stopcock and turn off the water supply to the sink. Then, call for a 24 hour emergency plumber to see why the faucets won’t turn off the water. Even if it’s after hours, it’s a problem that needs to be fixed.
