Types of Plumbing Emergencies We Handle in Miami
With over 30 years of experience under our belts, we are experts at resolving the following types of plumbing emergencies and many others.
Leaks
In an ideal situation, you could identify a leak while it’s still very small and call in a plumber before any real damage is done. Unfortunately, this is not always possible, as many pipes are hidden where you do not have easy access to them.
Any type of pipe could spring a leak, and each causes its own specific set of problems.
- When gas pipes leak, your family or customers could be in very real danger. Call us immediately if you smell gas or if you or others start to feel ill for no apparent reason.
- When sewer pipes leak, you may start to notice mold or mildew growing on your walls and low water pressure in your toilet. Sewer pipe problems can also expose you to toxic chemicals, so again, prompt action is advisable.
- When water pipes leak, they can make your water bill skyrocket and cause water damage to your walls, ceiling, or foundation.
Pipes are not the only thing that can leak. Your water heater can also spring a leak if it’s old or damaged. As with water pipe leaks, a leaky water heater can cause flooding and other issues.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), water leaks can cause a single household to lose 180 gallons of water (the equivalent of 300 loads of laundry) every week. This can cost you a great deal of money in:
- Water bills
- Damage to your house and foundation
- Damage to your personal property
The sooner you call us to deal with leaky pipes, the more money you will save.
Flooding
If you see water in your basement, a problem with a pipe or water heater may be to blame. This is true even if it doesn’t seem like a great deal of water. You do not have to wait until there are several inches of water in your basement to get help. Even localized flooding, such as around the base of your water heater, is cause for concern.
Dealing with flooding quickly is essential to preventing:
- Mold and mildew
- Lingering odors
- Damage to your personal property
- Exposure to unhealthy bacteria or other substances in the water
- The cost of repair increasing (the longer a problem continues, the more serious the damage it could cause to pipes or appliances)
Before you can start the clean-up process, you need to identify the cause of the flooding and prevent more water from coming in. We can send a Miami emergency plumbing technician out to your location right away to figure out what is wrong and how to solve the problem rapidly.
When it comes to flooding, we keep our priorities straight. First, we stop the water from coming in and work to prevent you from being exposed to contaminants in the water. After that, we can focus on long-term solutions, like replacing the failed pipe or water heater.
Broken Pipes
In this extreme situation, the pipe does not simply leak, it breaks or develops a large hole through which water can escape and mix with dirt or other pollutants. This can cause flooding, potentially allowing contaminants out into the open.
A pipe may burst due to:
- Age: Eventually, all pipes get old. If they are not replaced in time, they could break.
- Poor maintenance: Not taking proper care of your water pipes could lead to rust and corrosion, eventually causing a hole or break in the line.
- Tree roots: As trees grow, so do their roots, regardless of whether or not there is a water pipe in their way. Spreading roots can put pressure on pipes until they fail.
If you notice an unusually high water bill, cracks in your foundation, or unexplained puddles on your property, you may be dealing with a broken pipe.
As with any emergency, it is best to deal with a broken pipe immediately, before it has a chance to do further damage to your property or your finances.
What if I Don’t Know What the Problem Is?
You know how your home or business is supposed to function and you can tell when something is off. However, you may not have the expertise to pinpoint the exact cause of the problem. That is perfectly normal and you can rest easy. It is our job to diagnose and solve plumbing problems, not yours.
