We give a lot of "do it yourself" tips, but this time we want to remind you that it's good to have an emergency plumber on call. You never know when a serious plumbing issue might take place, and you don't want to have to be digging through Yelp reviews at 2am trying to find someone who can come over ASAP.
One of the most common times of the year when people need an emergency plumber is winter. When the weather is freezing it doesn't matter how much you wrap your pipes - there is still potential for breakage during the freeze. How do you know your pipes are frozen? You will probably notice your water trickling or fully stopped, or there might be an unexpected puddle in your yard. Even if you're skilled enough to swap out pipes, when the weather is freezing and you have no water, it's not the time or place to take on a project that needs to be done quickly (and correctly!).
Though some of us might lounge around fantasizing about backyard pools or landscaped water fountains, the idea of unexpected gushing water flooding your backyard is probably more of a nightmare. Regardless of the season, any water gushing or pooling on your property is not a good sign. Calling a professional right away is important because you want to alleviate the water waste before it causes any more damage than necessary. Remember, if a fixture breaks, your first step is finding your water valve and turning off the water supply. Your next step is to call for help!
Water heaters are one of those things that is pretty much always locked in some sort of closet and forgotten about. We don't need to see it every day, but when it quits working everyone in the house knows about it. Nothing like a cold shower that never turns hot to get you off your butt and on the phone. Whether it's an emergency or not, if you don't know much about water heaters it can be a difficult process. A professional plumber will have the right permits to get everything installed, and they can save you on the frustration of making sure that you're getting the right water heater.
Septic systems can create additional plumbing properties beyond a broken pipe. If water is backing up in your home or if your drain field is wet or pooling, this can be an indication of an overloaded septic system. Working with a septic system is not a do it yourself project! It's time to call your local plumber or septic tank specialist at that point.
While not every plumbing concern is an emergency - it's best to have a number on hand. You want to know that your plumber is available 24/7 and will take your concerns seriously. We pride ourselves on not only being fantastic plumbers (and septic specialists) but customer service experts as well. If you need regular maintenance or you're having an emergency, please don't hesitate to contact your local Mr. Rooter plumber of Greater Syracuse, NY!
