Three Reasons to Call an Emergency Plumber

A1 Clear Drainage & Plumbing • Nov 12, 2019
Nothing throws us into panic quite like a plumbing emergency. Whether it’s an overflowing toilet or a burst pipe gushing out water, facing a plumbing issue in your home can be stressful and overwhelming to say the least. When you experience a plumbing emergency, the key is to act fast and stay calm. Below, we take a look at three reasons to call an emergency plumber. 

Overflowing toilet
The last thing anyone wants is to return home to a flooded bathroom from an overflowing toilet - and the mess is far from pleasant. If you’re faced with an overflowing toilet in your home, you should call an emergency plumber immediately to minimise the damage caused to your home. An overflowing toilet may be caused by a blockage in the drain. 

Burst pipe
A burst pipe is a surprisingly common issue, but it’s important that you act fast to minimise damage. Repairing a burst pipe requires the skills of a professional plumber and you should never attempt to repair it yourself as this could lead to further damage. Depending on which pipe has burst, there may be a lot of water gushing into your home, and therefore it’s important that you get in touch with an emergency plumber as soon as possible to tackle the problem for you. 

Clogged drains
Sometimes, clogged drains can be fixed with a plunger. However, if you notice that the drain is backing up and water is rising out of the sink, it’s essential that you get in touch with an emergency plumber right away to prevent your bathroom from flooding. If multiple drains are clogged, this is an indication that there is a blockage in your sewer system and an emergency plumber should be contacted right away to minimise further damage.
