Many plumbing issues can be frustrating and may require professional service if DIY methods fail or make the problem worse. However, not all problems are urgent. Some situations, though, are true plumbing emergencies that demand immediate attention from a licensed professional.
Broken water lines are a serious issue, often caused by tree roots or accidental damage during yard work. These can result in soggy patches in your yard, dirt or sediment in your water, low water pressure, or even burst pipes inside your home. Leaking or burst pipes are also common emergencies, especially in colder months when freezing and thawing can cause pipes to crack and release large amounts of water, leading to significant structural damage and potential mould growth. Sewer system backups are another urgent problem. If you notice multiple clogged drains, foul sewage smells, water pooling around your basement floor drain, or sinkholes forming in your yard, it’s time to call an emergency plumber right away.
