The plumbing of your home or business must run properly and efficiently in order to provide a successful and comfortable environment. When plumbing fails and emergencies happen it can ruin your day and cause additional damage to other areas of your home or business. Every homeowner knows that they will eventually be forced to deal with some type of plumbing emergency, whether that is a clogged drain or a broken pipe; there are certain steps you can take to avoid the emergency becoming more costly. While some emergencies can be avoided, others just happen, so it is important to have your plumber’s number on speed dial.
Handle a Plumbing Emergency Quickly – Burst Pipe Repair!
Some plumbing emergencies occur more often than others, and there are a few steps you can take when these emergencies occur to avoid an even bigger problem. One of the most common occurrences in plumbing emergencies is a pipe that has burst open. When a pipe bursts it can cause a great deal of damage if not attended to immediately, because the flow of water that comes from a burst pipe tends to come out very rapidly, causing water damage to whatever area the pipe has burst near. One of the most important steps a homeowner can take is to turn off their main water line. Knowing how to do this is extremely important information for homeowners to know.
Frozen Pipes – What to do
Another common plumbing emergency that can occur to your home or business is frozen pipes. Living in colder parts of the country can make this a more regular issue to deal with. If you know that there is a possibility your pipes may freeze, keep a small trickle of water going over night as water is more likely to freeze when it is standing still rather than slowly flowing through a pipe. You may want to also consider adding insulation around pipes that are located along the outside walls of your home.
Clogged Drain Pipe or Toilet
When you have a drain or a toilet that is blocked up it can become a messy and unpleasant situation. Drains and toilets can get clogged or backed up from putting objects down them that should really be put into a garbage bin. Be careful about what it is you and others are putting down the drain or into the toilet. While a plunger will get you back to working order most of the time, some clogs are more severe than others and require the skills and experience of a professional plumber.
