Issues That Require Emergency Plumbing Services

Emergency plumbing issues can still happen even if you constantly invest in plumbing maintenance and repairs. It’s important to get in touch with a trustworthy plumber in Seattle like Bob Oates Sewer & Rooter should you encounter any plumbing issue that warrants immediate professional attention.

Burst Pipes

Whether made of steel, plastic or copper, pipes can burst due to a variety of reasons, such as extremely high water pressure and corrosion. Without prompt plumbing services, burst pipes can end up wasting around 200 gallons per day. Apart from flooding, you also risk water damage, which can be an extremely costly problem to fix.

Gas Leaks

Natural gas does not smell like anything, which is why gas line installation companies add a harmless substance called mercaptan that gives off a smell not unlike rotten eggs. If your go-to plumbing company offers gas line services, call them immediately when you catch a whiff of that “rotten egg” smell. Be sure to evacuate everyone in the house in case of a gas leak.

Overflowing Toilet

Clogging issues that result in overflowing toilets is enough to make anyone panic, especially when the water is looking like it will flood more than just your bathroom. Call your emergency plumbing specialist after turning off the shutoff valve.

Faulty Water Heater

Many households depend on their water heaters to be able to carry out basic tasks such as cleaning and bathing. This is why a malfunctional water heater, however common, is an issue that requires prompt plumbing repairs. If you’re not getting enough hot water, or if the water doesn’t get hot enough, you can always give us a call so we can send someone as soon as possible.
