Plumbing emergencies don’t always fit into a convenient schedule, and many plumbing problems can’t wait until morning. If you need reliable emergency plumbing services, the team at AAA City Plumbing is ready to answer your call 24 hours a day Monday – Saturday.

Common Plumbing Emergencies

The most common plumbing emergencies are burst pipes during freezing temperatures, clogged drains and toilets resulting in overflowing water, and sewer line backups due to tree roots or debris causing sewage backups. All of these problems are not only stressful in their own right, but can cause significant damage very quickly due to potential flooding and toxic waste exposure. When you have this kind of plumbing emergency, it can’t wait until normal business hours resume.

Water heater failures, which can result in no hot water, as well as potential leaks, will also need to be dealt with quickly. If you have a hot water heater failure, call for service right away.

What Should You Do in a Plumbing Emergency?

After you’ve called AAA City Plumbing and you know help is on the way, there are a few things you can do to mitigate water damage. The first step is to turn off the water supply, either just to the affected area, or to the entire house. If you are dealing with a burst pipe, wrap the pipe with cloth or rubber and secure it as best you can with tape to slow the leak. Place buckets where you can to contain the water, and mop up as much excess as possible with towels and a wet/dry vacuum if you have one. Make sure that you are not using any electrical appliances near standing water.
