Dickinson Plumbing Repair Emergency

Dickinson Plumbing Repair Emergency Defined

Any problem that can’t be easily handled seems to be an emergency; that is especially true with plumbing issues. While every plumbing problem needs to be handled quickly, not every difficult problem is a plumbing emergency. Some can be solved by scheduling a visit during regular hours.

However, some plumbing failures constitute a real emergency that needs to be resolved immediately. How can you tell the difference? Problems like these should be considered an emergency.

Dickinson Plumbing Repair Emergency: Frozen Pipes

While there is just a narrow band of time that pipes can freeze in south Texas, if pipes do freeze, anticipate that the result will be burst pipes. Water expands when it freezes, and the pressure of the expansion is more than enough energy to break through the closed network of pipes. Since the water is under pressure when it thaws, even a small opening will leak. It may take a few days for the leak to be detected since most pipes are enclosed by finished walls, floors, and ceilings. If pipes freeze during the winter:

• Open several taps to relieve water pressure.
• Turn off the main water supply.
• Call a plumber immediately.

Dickinson Plumbing Repair Emergency: Major Leaks

Any time a major leak occurs inside a home, turn the water supply off and call a plumber immediately. The water will continue to damage the home and endanger the occupants.

A major leak outside a home may or may not constitute a plumbing emergency; the location and amount of water leaking will help determine the nature of the solution.

Dickinson Plumbing Repair Emergency: Loss of Water Supply

It is important to always have a healthy water supply; the home was designed to provide water at multiple sources for drinking, cleaning, and waste elimination. People need access to safe water. If no water is available inside the home, it presents two problems:

• If pipes are empty, they are exposed to air and allow pathogens into the pipe network. The pipes will need to be flushed for a designated period to ensure the water is safe to drink.
• If the water is not available from taps and toilets, it is leaking somewhere at an incredible rate, causing significant damage.

Whether you have located the leak or not, this is a plumbing emergency.

Dickinson Plumbing Repair Emergency: Simultaneous Drain Clogs

If a drain or toilet clogs, but there are alternatives, this does not necessitate an emergency call. However, if all the drains and toilets clog at the same time, this is an emergency. Eventually, all home drains reach the same sewer line out of the home and the problem is most likely in this sewer line.

Often the problem will be buried several feet under the surface, not accessible to homeowners. The problem will not go away on its own; this is a plumbing emergency.

Dickinson Plumbing Repair Emergency: The Danger of Sewage

A simple toilet overflowing requires a minor cleanup, but sewage backup is extremely dangerous since it contains harmful pathogens. These substances are harmful to breathe, touch, or ingest; getting rid of the residual content and smell is nearly impossible, requiring surfaces to be replaced.

A clogged drain, sewer main, or localized flooding is the probable source of sewage backup into a home. Sewage backup is a plumbing emergency.
