Some plumbing issues are inconveniences; others are emergencies that require immediate professional intervention to prevent severe property damage, safety hazards, or operational downtime. A burst pipe, whether from freezing or material failure, can release a significant volume of water, causing structural damage and mold. Any sign of sewer backup in drains or toilets indicates a major blockage or mainline failure, posing serious health risks. A sudden and complete loss of water, not related to a municipal shutdown, points to a critical failure in your water main. The smell of gas (rotten eggs) is a high-priority emergency that requires immediate evacuation and a call to a certified gas fitter, a service our technicians provide. Finally, a malfunctioning water heater, especially if it is leaking significantly or making loud "booming" noises, signals an imminent failure that could lead to flooding.
