One question we get asked all the time is: what is a plumbing emergency? Many people get a leak confused with an emergency. We want to make sure we serve you best, and that means saving you money where we can. The following are the most common emergencies we have encountered in our years of serving the Plano, Texas area. If you see one of these issues, don’t hesitate to call us in to handle the problem before it gets worse.
Overflowing Toilet
The most common issue is the flooding toilet. This issue can end up causing more problems with water damage and the spread of unclean water. Stop the flow by turning the valve on the feedline. If this doesn’t work, try opening the tank and rigging the chain flapper to remain closed. Either way, make sure to get a plumber in there quickly to get you a new toilet.
Backed Up Sink
Try to clear that pesky sink clog with a plunger or even your hand. Avoid chemical drain cleaners as these can corrode your piping. A clogged drain is the right time to call in the pros.
Your Hot Water Comes Out Cold
If your hot water cuts out during the day, check your water heater. If the pilot light is still on and everything is still connected as it should be, call a professional HVAC worker or plumber right away (Kelly Plumbing can handle your water heater issues).
Leaks in Pipes or Washing Machines
Texas doesn’t have crazy winters, so frozen pipes aren’t a problem for us. Especially if you have an older home, be on the lookout for leaky pipes and their telltale puddles. Make sure to check your washer machine and its intake and output hoses – a leak here can mean major water damage, possibly mold or mildew problems.
