What Is A Plumbing Emergency
At Hanahan Plumbing Co we classify the following situations as a plumbing emergency.
- A pressurized water leak that is causing damage to your home or business. Such as a burst pipe that can’t be shut off and isolated.
- A main line sewer clog that causes every fixture in the home or business to overflow, causing damage to the home or office.
- Sudden loss of water. No water at all to any of your fixtures.
- Gas leaks. If you smell gas inside your home or office then you have a plumbing emergency.
Is no hot water an emergency?
Not having hot water is a definite inconvenience but not always an emergency. If your water heater is leaking and you can’t shut the water off to isolate the leak then we consider it to be an emergency – the same as a pressurized water leak. If you don’t have hot water and your water heater isn’t leaking the we classify that as a priority, not an emergency.
When it comes to no hot water we do our best to solve the problem same day. But if it’s too late in the day or at night, and you’re not experiencing a pressurized leak, we recommend performing the repair next day because after hours emergency service can become expensive.
Emergency Plumbing Leaks
What is an emergency plumbing leak? A pressurized leak that is causing damage to your home or office. This could be caused by a burst pipe in your ceiling or wall.
It’s important to shut your water off as soon as possible to avoid further damage to your property. We highly recommend knowing how to shut the water off your home or office because even the quickest plumber can’t be there in 30 seconds.
Our primary during a pressurized plumbing leak emergency is to stop the leak and hopefully allow the water to be turned back on to your toilets, showers and sinks so you won’t have to go without water all night.
Emergency Sewer Clog
When does a drain clog become an emergency plumbing problem? If the clog is in your main sewer line, you won’t be able to use any sink or shower faucet or flush any toilet in your home or office without waste water backing up at every toilet.
Bottom line, if all of your toilets are clogged, you have a sewer clog emergency which should be addressed as soon as possible.
If only 1 toilet is clogged at night, we highly recommend getting service the following day to avoid paying higher after hours emergency plumber rates.
Emergency Water Loss
What do we mean when we say emergency water loss? If you try to turn on a faucet or flush a toilet and no water comes out of any faucet in your home or office, you have a problem.
What causes your water to stop working?
First, it could be a city/county problem. We recommend, before calling an emergency plumber, asking your neighbors if they’re able to use water at their house. If they say no then it’s possible the city/county water provider has a main line break and they had to shut the water off. An emergency plumber won’t be able to help you with this situation.
Second, if your neighbors still have water, you could have a main line break. Main line breaks can prevent water from coming into your home’s plumbing fixtures. You’ll probably hear water running and possibly see a large water puddle, usually outside or possibly in the crawl space. This is when it’s time to call a local emergency plumber to help restore water flow. It’s a good idea to know how to shut off your water meter while you wait for help to arrive.
A third possibility is the water company cut your water off for non payment or you forgot to get your backflow prevention assembly tested. If you don’t see or hear water running somewhere we recommend verifying that the water company didn’t shut your water off. Sometimes the water company will lock your meter so an emergency plumber won’t be able to turn your water back on but they will charge you for the emergency visit.
Emergency Gas Leak
Do you smell gas inside your home or office? It’s never a good sign when you smell gas inside and all your gas fixtures are shut off. Gas leaks are plumbing emergencies because they can be dangerous.
Our best advice is to learn how to shut your gas meter off before you experience a gas leak. If you call Hanahan Plumbing Co, our first advice is going to be to cut your gas meter off then open up your doors and windows to air out your house. The most important step in any gas leak emergency is to stop the flow of gas. So please learn how to close the shut off valve on your gas meter.
Once the gas is shut off, you can determine if you want to pay an emergency plumber to come out at night or wait until the following morning to avoid paying emergency plumber rates.
One word of advice. If you call the gas company they will most likely shut your meter off and lock it. The gas company doesn’t usually check gas lines in your home or office because their responsibility and liability stops at the meter. Once the meter is locked a plumber will have to use pressureized air to locate your leak instead of a gas sniffer. Using a gas sniffer to pinpoint the leak is cheaper than pumping the system with air.
