Leak Detection And Repair And Other Emergency Plumbing Services

Some plumbing services are more essential than others. Okay it’s true that require all the plumbing services that are offered by plumbers today. But there are some plumbing issues or problems that are more common and more critical than others. The plumbing industry has come up with a very resourceful way of dealing with these serious plumbing issues. They are all covered by emergency plumbing services. Emergency plumbing services are mainly offered to handle plumbing emergencies. One example of a serious plumbing emergency that requires immediate attention is gas leak detection and repair. Even water leaks can qualify as plumbing emergencies especially if they are too heavy and severe. In this article we will look at leak detection and repair as an emergency service. We will also look at other types of emergency plumbing services.

 

Leak Detection And Repair

 

Leaks can occur in many different places in a home plumbing system. We have two main types of leaks in any home plumbing system. There are water leaks that include clean water leaks and waste water leaks in the sewer system. We also have gas leaks that occur in the gas supply lines, gas outlets and gas appliances. Water leaks are perhaps the most common plumbing problems in every home. Water leaks are not usually considered as plumbing emergencies unless they are very severe and are occurring in very critical areas of the home plumbing system. An example of a water leak emergency is when the leak is occurring in the main water supply line and inhibiting water supply in the house. Heavy water leaks in the drainage pipes or in the underground sewer lines can also cause mayhem in the home and hence require an emergency service call for a sewer lines and clog service. If a water leak is very heavy, it can cause the pipe to burst, which can be very problematic especially if it’s inside the house. These kinds of sever water leaks should be reported to an emergency plumber as soon as possible for an immediate solution.

Gas leaks are more critical than water leaks. Gas leaks pose physical danger of fire and explosions if not repaired immediately. If you suspect a gas leak in your home, call your local plumber or gas company immediately. You can also detect a gas leak by the smell of rotten eggs, a hissing sound, or dying vegetation cover where your gas lines run underground.

 

Other Emergency Plumbing Services

 

In addition to leak detection and repair, we have many other emergency services. But just like in the case with water leaks, most of these emergency services are meant for severe plumbing problems or plumbing emergencies. Water heater problems are sometimes reported as plumbing emergencies. This is especially the case if your water heater is totally dead and we are in the middle of winter. In such a case, you should not hesitate to place an emergency service call to your local plumber. Another problem that warrants an emergency service call is a severe drain clog leading to a serious sewer backup that can flood your bathrooms. You should call your local plumber immediately if you have these kinds of problems for an emergency solution.
