How to determine if you're experiencing a plumbing emergency?
A plumbing emergency can strike at any time, and a serious plumbing emergency could lead to extensive water damage if not addressed immediately. Even a minor plumbing emergency can quickly spread to other areas of the property and cause extensive damage that could end up costing thousands of dollars in repairs. Here are some signs for determining if you're experiencing a plumbing emergency.
- Your pipes are leaking and flooding your home
- Your pipes are making loud banging noises
- You have no water or only a small amount of water coming out of your faucet
- Your toilet is overflowing or there is a slow drain
- You have a clogged toilet with water rising in the bowl
- A pipe burst but not sure where the leak is coming from
What to look for with water heater problems.
The water heater is an essential part of your home, heating water for showers, dishwashing, laundry, and more. On average, a traditional gas water heater will last 8-12 years. The general consensus is that it’s better to replace your water heater with a new one than to repair one that’s 10 years old or more. Older models are less energy-efficient and thus more costly to run than newer models with better technology.
Here are some of the most common problems that our customers report to us:
- No hot water
- Not enough hot water
- Fluctuation in the water temperature
- Water is rusty-colored or has a bad odor
- The water heater is leaking
- Reduced hot water pressure
- Frequent odd sounds
