What Is A Plumbing Emergency?
Some common plumbing emergency scenarios include:
- Burst Pipe: a burst pipe is a true emergency and must be dealt with quickly or it can cause significant damage to your home.
- Major Water Leak: like a burst pipe, a main water leak can cause serious damage. Symptoms include low water pressure, puddles of water in the home, and/or hissing from pipes.
- No Hot Water: One of the most common plumbing emergencies is a broken hot water heater. Heated water might be thought of as a luxury but it is a necessity in today’s world.
What Is A Sewer Emergency?
Some common sewer emergency scenarios include:
- Clogged Toilet: this might just be a minor issue but when a toilet clogs repeatedly, you might have a serious mainline sewer problem and are at risk of a sewage backup into your home.
- Foul Odor: one of the earliest signs of a sewer emergency is a foul odor. A properly functioning sewer should not smell bad. If the odor persists, you may have a sewer emergency.
- Sewage Coming Up From Drains: sewage should never come up from a drain. Raw sewage is a serious health risk for you, your family, and your home and needs immediate drain cleaning.
What Is A Gas Line Emergency?
A natural gas leak is a serious emergency, and should you suspect a natural gas leak, you should leave your residence and call your gas company immediately prior to calling Windy City Rooter.
Some common signs of a gas line emergency include:
- Rotten Smell: natural gas has a distinctive, rotten egg odor.
- Hissing Noise: if you hear a hissing noise near a gas pipe or a gas appliance.
- Discolored Plants: if your house plants or vegetation near the gas line are browning or dying.
