COMMON TYPES OF PLUMBING EMERGENCIES

We receive calls about all types of emergency plumbing situations. Some are interestingly weird, while others are quite comical (we’ll save those for another blog). However, the majority of emergency plumbing calls are common problems. Below are some of the usual issues:

  • Broken water mains: Old pipes have a propensity to break; especially if they are under constant pressure or when foundations shift.
  • Pinhole leaks: Copper tubing and pipes are susceptible to sharp objects or seam breaks where high water pressure exists.
  • Severely blocked drains: Hair, paper, sludge, oil, and other non-flushable items can and will eventually lead to clogged pipes.
  • Water heater malfunctions: Overheating, non-heating, or leaking water heating units are common in cases where the unit is aged or installed incorrectly.
