Picture this:

It’s a sunny Sunday morning when a sudden burst pipe causes a flood in your home.

You grab your phone and call an emergency plumbing service. By the time they get to your house, you’re already desperate. The water damage is significant, and you are already thinking about how much it will cost you to fix the problem and all the necessary repairs.

You’re now wondering what’s the point of an emergency plumbing service if it takes forever. Or were you just unlucky?

Here’s how long an emergency plumber should arrive and how to avoid these nightmare scenarios.

When To Call an Emergency Plumber?

Not all plumbing problems require immediate assistance. But, there are situations when it’s best to call a plumber right away:

• Significant Water Leak: Even a tiny water leak might indicate a considerable plumbing and drainage issue, but if the leak is substantial, there’s no time to wait.
• A Gas Leak:Gas leaks can be hazardous and must be addressed immediately.
• A Broken Pipe: A broken pipe can cause significant damage and affect the integrity of your house.
• Low Water Pressure: While it may not seem like an emergency initially, it might indicate blocked drains or a small leak. If left unattended, the pipe could burst and cause more damage.
