Water is a homeowners nemesis or worst nightmare if it is not running properly. Leaking water of any kind can cause severe damage to any structure, home or business. But we need water for everything; showers, washing clothes and dishes , watering our lawns and let’s not forget the very important drinking water. So as much as water is bad for a home , we need clean running water to survive.

So, when do you call a plumber for emergency service? Most homeowners aren’t sure of who or when to contact someone for emergency plumbing service. The fact is most plumbers offer emergency services during non business hours. But what is a plumbing emergency? If you are unsure you should always be more cautious than not.

Leaking pipes or continuous running toilets can lead to much worse damage than the cost of the plumber coming for an emergency visit.  There are however some circumstances that require an emergency plumber call:

Burst Pipes

Burst Pipes are absolutely  one of the reasons to call a plumber for an emergency visit. Some burst pipes might be in the ground and you might not even know they have burst until the leaking water has already caused some damage. For example, if you notice a large puddle of water forming in the grass or concrete area of your driveway you may have a burst pipe. When Streamline plumbing comes for the emergency visit to your Orange county home for a burst pipe they will first get the water turned off to stop it from continuing. They can use a camera to pinpoint where the burst pipe is and repair or replace the pipe section where needed.

Frozen Pipes

Frozen Pipes don’t happen to often in Orange County or most of Southern California. However on those rare occasions where it actually gets cold and you may have older, uninsulated pipes they may freeze. If you have little or no water coming from a tap like on the  kitchen sink or the toilet doesn’t fill up after you flush those are the tell tale signs of a frozen pipe. This is the perfect scenario to call Streamline Plumbing for emergency service, since a frozen pipe can easily become a ruptured pipe. Avoiding a ruptured pipe can make all the difference and save you a lot of money.

Toilet Overflow

Most people will try and plunge a toilet that is overflowing to make sure something isn’t stuck and causing the overflow. However this might be a toilet or pipe issue and not just the toilet.
