Emergency Service Pretoria

Emergency Service Pretoria – What is emergency plumbing?

Clogged drains, damaged pipes, and gas leaks are the most common residential emergency plumbing situations.

When you encounter an emergency plumbing situation you can take steps to reduce damage to the minimum.

Therefore cutting down your plumbing cost too.

Common symptoms to tell if your pipes are bad somewhere in:

• Sign #1: Odd sounds coming from the faucets. 

Have you ever turned on your faucet only to hear an alarming sound?

I had one client who thought his pipes were actually haunted because of the strange screech that came from his faucet when he turned it on.

Any sound coming from your pipes usually indicates that there is air in them, which means that something is up with your bleed-off system.

• Sign #2: Low water pressure.

This is a very common issue, especially in older homes.

Unfortunately, it can be caused by a number of problems and can be a bit tricky to find the root cause.

Typically, low water pressure is the product of a leak in your system, a clog somewhere in your pipes (possibly in multiple places).

Or poorly sized pipes that fail to provide water pressure.

• Sign #3: Unpleasant smells coming from the drains.

There are a few different reasons for nasty aromas emanating from your plumbing.

If the smell is just in your kitchen sink, it could be that scraps of food are building up in the drainpipe and decaying.

When you smell rotten eggs, it’s possible that you have a blocked drain vent that is allowing sewer gas to back up into your pipes and enter your home.

If you notice a smell coming from all of your drains and experience frequent clogging, your sewer line could be damaged.

Although these problems do vary in severity, a professional plumber must be called in to figure out exactly what is going on.

• Sign #4: Sluggish drains.

We all have slow drains from time to time.

More often than not, slow drains indicate a blockage in the pipes.

Drain cleaning is one of the only things I suggest people try to troubleshoot themselves.

Using a power drain cleaning solution or a drain snake to clear things away.

If, however, you’ve tried either approach a few times and your drains still don’t seem to be working, call in 24/7 Plumber Pretoria

Something else could be going on that is likely too difficult to deal with yourself.

• Sign #5: Stains or damaged walls.

• Brownish stains on your ceiling can indicate a plumbing leak if there is a bathroom located above it.
• Also, stained or warped walls and floors could be a sign of a leaking pipe and accumulating water.

If you notice any of these problems in your home.

Do yourself a favour and call an experienced plumbing (24/7 Plumber Pretoria) expert as soon as possible so that they can diagnose and fix the issue.

Though you may be tempted to try and fix things yourself, I strongly caution against it.

A Proactive Approach to Preventing An Emergency Service Pretoria Problems:

Just like I downplayed and ignored the pain in my tooth in the months leading up to my root canal,

We know that many homeowners turn a blind eye to signs of a plumbing problem.

In addition to worrying that they will need costly and invasive work done.

They may also think that the problems they have don’t really warrant the work of a plumber.

It’s all too easy to brush off a stinky drain or dismiss low water pressure as simply being a symptom of an old home or an insignificant problem.

Common things we see happen include:

• Astronomical water bills (from ignored plumbing leaks)
• Permanent water damage to walls and floors, resulting in the need for major renovations and drywall replacement
• The proliferation of mould and mildew that is harmful to human health
• Bursting or broken pipes and sewer lines, often needing major repair or complete sewer line replacement

To prevent these serious and costly issues from developing in the first place, it’s extremely important that you call a 24/7 Plumber Pretoria.

They have the necessary expertise and equipment needed to thoroughly inspect your plumbing and make required repairs, preventing extensive damage.
