2. For common household members, everything that
goes wrong with your gas, water supply or drainage
system at home may look like an emergency. Well,
this is not always the case. While it is important that
you call professional plumbers for all plumbing
problems, there are some cases wherein you need
instant fix to the problem – as in right away! When
you encounter these problems, make sure to contact
our emergency plumbers at once.

3. 1. Broken Tap
If your kitchen or bathroom taps malfunction and won’t shut off,
you are left with a problem of continuously flowing water on
your lavatory or sink. You should turn off the main valve of
your main water supply system and call emergency plumbing
experts right away!

4. 2. Ruptured Pipes
A burst pipe is somewhat similar to a broken tap as you’ll be
facing a problem with continuously flowing water. But this
time, it’s more complicated. Depending on the severity of the
burst or the underlying cause of the problem, the pipe and
other plumbing fixtures may require minor or extensive
replacement – and it should be done fast!

5. 3. Toilet Problems
If you have a toilet problem at home, whether it is a clog or an
overflowing tank, you should contact emergency plumbers at
once. This is to avoid possible consequences such as water
damage to the affected area. And of course, these problems
also spell a cleaning disaster for you.

6. 4. Gas Leak
A gas leak, may it be minor or severe, is a very serious problem.
This should be fixed at the very soonest time to avoid
accidents. Signs of leaking gas include a hissing or whistling
sound near gas appliances or gas lines and the presence of
strong gas odour. Call emergency plumbers so that the
problem will be sorted out immediately.

7. 5. Wall Damage
If you notice moisture on the walls of your home, especially the
areas where water lines are located, there is a possibility of a
leaking pipe inside the wall interior. This means that the wall
has been damaged by the water leaking out of the line. Shut
off the main valve of your water line and call a professional
plumber.
