You never know when a water-based calamity will strike. But if the worst does happen, you can always contact an emergency plumber. This usually involves a call-out fee so, to help you work out if your emergency requires instant help or can wait, here are six situations where an emergency plumber is a necessity.
Floods
Floods can happen at any time but can be more common in the winter when pipes freeze. Floods can cause serious damage to your property and could leave you with a hefty water bill. With bills set to increase this year, according to a report from the BBC, it’s always best to call a plumber as soon as possible.
Blocked toilets
A blocked toilet, especially if there’s only one in the house, definitely counts as a plumbing emergency.
Overflowing toilet
An overflowing toilet can pose a risk to you and your family’s health. Luckily, you can call on a 24/7 emergency plumber Cheltenham to come and fix it quickly.
No water
If you turn on the tap and nothing happens, then there could be a problem with your water supply or pipes. Clean drinking water is essential, so this certainly constitutes a plumbing emergency.
Burst pipes
A burst pipe can lead to serious issues, such as flooding, and damage to your property. To prevent further damage, an emergency plumber in Cheltenham or in your area will be able to fix the pipe and deal with any impacts on your system.
Brown water
Water should always be clear, so if your taps are sending out brown or murky H2O, you’ll want to call an emergency plumber in Cheltenham, Cambridge or Cardiff.
If you face any of these situations, it’s always best to call an emergency plumber. That way, you’ll avoid further damage.
