There are a great many different problems that can afflict a plumbing system. Some issues can be ignored for months without getting much worse (even though they really shouldn’t be). Some should be addressed fairly soon, though they can be left alone while waiting for an appointment time. Finally, some should be addressed as soon as humanly possible if they are to be prevented from causing massive problems.
It’s this final category that we’re going to be discussing in this post. Plumbing emergencies absolutely cannot be ignored if they are to be fixed in time to prevent much of the damage they can cause. It’s important that you know when to call for emergency plumbing services, and when to wait for a more traditional plumbing appointment.
If you have water welling up from under your floor, or from behind a wall, it can be tempting to panic. However, the most important thing you can do during a plumbing emergency is to remain calm and act quickly. If you know what to do, you can limit the damage by a significant amount while you wait for your plumber to show up.
