Emergency Plumbing 101: How to Know When It’s Time to Call
Plumbing issues don’t stick to business hours, and ignoring them can quickly turn a minor inconvenience into a major problem. From burst pipes to blocked drains or suspected gas leaks, spotting urgent plumbing issues early can save you stress, water damage, and costly repairs.
Plumbing Emergencies You Can’t Ignore
Some plumbing problems need fast action to prevent serious damage. Call a licensed plumber (like us!) immediately if you notice:
Burst pipes flooding your home or garden
Blocked drains or toilets causing water to back up
Hot water failure or leaking systems leaving you without hot water
Major leaks from taps, mixers, or valves
Roof or gutter leaks during storms, risking water damage
Gas leaks or unusual gas smells – this is dangerous
If water is spreading, drains are gurgling, appliances are failing, or you smell gas, it’s not a minor issue – it’s time to act fast. Immediate intervention can save your home, your belongings, and your sanity.
Why Acting Quickly Matters
Even a small leak can escalate quickly. Water can seep into walls, floors, and ceilings, leading to mould, rot, and structural damage. Blocked drains can overflow, causing hygiene issues and property damage. Gas leaks, of course, are a serious safety risk. Acting early prevents minor issues from turning into expensive repairs, helping you maintain a safe, functional home.
