Why would your home need professional plumbing services?

There are a lot of possible reasons you may need the services of a plumber in your home. Clogged drains, burst pipes, gas leaks, and water heater malfunctions are just some of the typical problems a homeowner can expect to face. Calling a professional plumber to repair these problems ensures that they are done correctly, safely, quickly, and as painlessly as possible.

Is a burst pipe a plumbing emergency?

A burst pipe should be considered a plumbing emergency because of the severe water damage it can cause to your home. If left unrepaired, water flowing from a burst pipe will fill your basement, soak your floors and walls, and even cause damage to the foundation. Water damage can seriously affect everything it touches, wicking structures and causing the growth of mold that can affect the health of those living in the home. Burst pipes should be repaired or replaced as soon as possible to limit the damage to your home.

How will a plumbing emergency affect your home?

As mentioned above, plumbing emergencies can quickly damage the home with excessive amounts of water, but there are other dangers as well. For example, a natural gas leak lets toxic air into your home; the effects of this gas usually include some lightheadedness. However, the most dangerous aspect of a gas leak is the fact that it’s flammable and can lead to fire hazards and even explosions in the home.

Additionally, a leaking water heater can do just as much damage as a burst pipe. Emergencies like these should be addressed to keep your home and your family safe.
