Emergency drain cleaning

4/20/2018

 
Emergency plumbing services are specially meant for those situations when you need help immediately. There is a sudden crisis which needs earliest intervention so that the damage is minimal. Such situations can arise any time of the day or even at night, or even during weekends and holidays when plumbers are usually not available.If there is a sudden clog in the drain and you notice water backing up, it means your drain has some kind of obstruction. The clog needs to be cleared so that the water flows smoothly. If this is not taken care of on time, your property will be flooded. If repairs and cleaning is not done on time, your property will be further damaged.In such a situation, DIY techniques do not work. Several homeowners face crisis situation because they try store bought chemicals or clearing agents to remove obstruction in the drains. However, this does not work all the time, especially if the clog is deep down the drain. If the clog is deep inside the drain, professional help is needed because they are equipped with special devices and equipment which helps in detection and removal of the clog.

Professionals are trained to clear any kind of blockage. Emergency services are available anytime – whether it is during business hours, weekends or midnight.

At times it is due to the existence of roots in sewer line, sometimes it is due to flushing of objects which shouldn’t have gone down the drain and sometimes due to the work of an inexperienced technician. No matter what the problem is, a professional will not just remove the stoppage but can help in preventing the problem from recurring. Besides this, plumbers offer video inspection of pipes and main sewer lines. This helps in getting a better view of what is stuck in the drain causing the blockage.There are many advantages of finding a good plumber, who will help in cleaning the drain:

Plumbing emergencies

4/5/2018

 
Plumbing emergencies can happen at any time. I think that many of us have faced it at least once in his or her lifetime. Burst pipes, clogged toilets, clogged sinks, overflowing toilets, etc. are a few examples of plumbing emergencies. Some plumbing issues are very big that need immediate attention and some are minor issues which give you time.

As we have already told that there are different types of plumbing issues, different types of care are needed for those issues. Though you can handle some minor problems of your own, but, it is always better to call an experienced plumber to deal the situation so that the minor problems do not turn big.

How to Handle Plumbing Emergency

​
The first and the foremost thing is, not to panic in the time of emergencies. Just keep your brain cool and allow your common sense to work. Whenever you have plumbing problems like burst pipe, leaky faucet, leaky pipe, over flow of the cistern, etc. promptly turn off the main water supply to your home to prevent further damage.

After that, switch off your water heater to avoid the damage of the unit. As you have stopped the main water supply, you should stop the switch of your geyser so that it does not burst due to overheating. Try to understand the plumbing problem. If the problem is very small and you have confidence that you can tackle the situation, then do it of your own. But do not be overconfident so that the minor problems turn bigger and for the repairmen you may have to spend a huge amount of money. Unless you have proper knowledge on plumbing, you may damage your whole plumbing unit.

It is safe to call a professional plumber because he is a knowledgeable person and he can rightly diagnose the actual problem. He not only repairs the damage. He also makes you aware of problems you are going to face it in the near future. So instead of messing up with the situation, call a licensed and insured plumber. Licensed and insured plumber means that any further damage that could be caused by them while handling the repairing work, will be solved by them at no extra charge. You will get your system fixed no matter what.

Your Responsibility:

If you think that you will not call a plumber and you can handle the situation, just keep your tool box ready always. Do not forget to keep plumber’s tape (very effective to fix small leaks on both pipes and faucets) inside the box. Keep a good number of rugs and towels ready while handling the situation so that the water does not flood other rooms.

Keep a plunger or a plumber’s snake at your home to solve the problem of clogged drains of your own. With the help of this equipment, you can easily lift the obstruction because sometimes drains are clogged by petty household things like your child’s toys, sanitary napkins, vegetable peels, etc. Increase your knowledge on plumbing matter by reading books or watching the internet. You can get necessary tips from these two sources. But do not forget to maintain a list of reputed plumbing companies and their phone numbers.
