Do I Need an Emergency Plumber?
A small, manageable leak may not demand an emergency service call, but certain types of plumbing problems demand immediate professional intervention. Our certified, licensed, and insured plumbers are rigorously trained to handle a wide range of emergency repairs.
You likely need an emergency plumber if you are dealing with any of the following issues:
- Frozen or burst pipes. When water freezes, it expands, causing immense pressure that can rupture pipes. A burst pipe releases a large volume of water in a short time, leading to extensive flooding, structural damage, and the growth of mold. Our plumbers can quickly locate the burst section, shut off the water supply to prevent further flooding (if you have not already done so), and repair or replace the damaged pipes. We can also take steps to thaw frozen pipes and prevent them from bursting in the first place.
- Water heater breakdown. A malfunctioning water heater can lead to a lack of hot water, but a breakdown can also cause a major leak or even a gas leak if it’s a gas-powered unit. A leaking water heater can flood your basement or utility room. If you notice a leak, a sudden lack of hot water, or hear strange noises, we can diagnose the problem and perform the appropriate repairs or install a new, more efficient unit.
- Overflowing toilet. An overflowing toilet spreads contaminated water throughout your home or business, which poses a significant health risk. It typically results from a severe clog in the toilet or a blockage in the sewer line. We can stop the flow of water, clear the blockage using professional-grade tools like augers and drain snakes, and sanitize the affected area.
- Broken water main or sewer line. A broken water main can flood your property and deprive you of a water supply, while a broken sewer line can back up and release hazardous sewage into your property. Both situations require immediate and specialized attention. We have the expertise to locate the break and perform the necessary repairs or replacements to restore your water and sewer services.
- Sump pump malfunction. A sump pump prevents flooding in your basement by moving water away from your foundation. If it stops working, especially during a heavy rainstorm, your basement can quickly flood, causing thousands of dollars in water damage to your property and belongings. We can diagnose the cause of the malfunction, whether it's an electrical issue, a clogged discharge pipe, or mechanical failure, and we repair or replace the sump pump to protect your home.
- Clogged toilet or tub drain. While a minor clog is inconvenient, a severe one can stop all drainage and cause backups. A severely clogged drain or toilet suggests a deeper issue in your plumbing system or sewer line. We can use advanced drain cleaning equipment like hydro-jetting machines and video cameras to pinpoint the location and cause of the clog, whether it’s tree roots, grease build-up, or foreign objects, so that we can clear it completely.
- Gas line leaks. A gas line leak is a highly dangerous situation that risks fire, explosion, and carbon monoxide poisoning. If you smell gas, hear a hissing sound near a gas appliance, or see a sudden spike in your gas bill, we can help. We can locate the leak using specialized detectors and repair the line to secure your home or business. Our team at DNA Plumbing Services performs all gas line repairs to the highest safety standards and regulations.
How to Minimize Damage When a Pipe Bursts
A burst pipe can cause significant damage in a short amount of time, but taking immediate action can help you minimize the impact while you wait for our emergency plumbers to arrive. Acting quickly can save you money on repairs and reduce stress.
Here are some steps you should take to protect your property:
- Shut off your main water supply. Find the main water shutoff valve for your property and turn it off immediately. This valve is usually located in the basement, a utility closet, or outside near your water meter. Knowing where this valve is before an emergency happens can save you crucial time.
- Turn off the power. If the burst pipe is near any electrical outlets, appliances, or fixtures, you should immediately turn off the power to the affected areas. If it is safe to do so, go to your electrical panel and shut off the circuit breakers for the rooms with standing water or for the entire property if you are unsure about which breakers to switch off. This helps prevent electrical shock and short circuits.
- Drain the remaining water. After you turn off the main water supply, open all faucets in your home or business. This helps release any remaining water pressure in the pipes and helps drain the system, which should reduce the amount of water that continues to leak from the burst pipe.
- Document the damage and start cleaning up. Once you’ve taken photos and videos of the burst pipe and the damage it has already caused for your insurance claim, you can start cleaning up the mess. Use buckets, towels, and a wet/dry vacuum to remove as much standing water as possible. Move any furniture, electronics, or other valuables away from the flooded area to a dry place. The faster you remove the water, the less damage it will do to your floors, walls, and belongings.
Preventing Plumbing Emergencies
Regular maintenance and a little extra care can go a long way in preventing many common plumbing emergencies. When you schedule a routine plumbing inspection, we can check for potential issues like corroded pipes, tree root intrusion into sewer lines, and signs of wear on water heaters and sump pumps. Our goal is to identify and fix problems before they escalate into costly and damaging plumbing disasters.
We also recommend that you stay proactive with the health of your plumbing system on a day-to-day basis, and you can start by watching what you put down your drains. Grease, food scraps, coffee grounds, and hair can all build up over time and create clogs that lead to significant backups. We advise using drain screens to catch hair and debris and disposing of grease in the trash instead of pouring it down the sink.
Flushing only toilet paper down toilets helps prevent clogs and backups in your sewer line. Having our professionals periodically flush your water heater helps remove sediment build-up that can reduce its efficiency and lifespan, and promptly scheduling repairs for minor leaks or drips can help you resolve problems before they get significantly worse.
You can help protect your pipes from freezing during colder months by insulating them, especially those in unheated areas like basements, attics, and crawl spaces. Letting a faucet drip during freezing temperatures also relieves pressure in your pipes, which helps prevent them from bursting.
