What's a Real Plumbing Emergency? 🚑💧 Expert Advice for Homeowners
Not every drip, leak, or weird noise means you need to hit the panic button. ⚡ But when it is a plumbing emergency, fast action can save your home, your wallet, and your sanity! 👊
Here's how to recognize a true emergency, what steps to take before help arrives, and when you should call Jim Craig Plumbing — your 24/7 emergency plumbing pros. 🚑✨
🔢 What Counts as a Plumbing Emergency?
If any of these situations happen, it's time to call immediate help:
- Burst Pipes 💦 — Gushing water can cause massive structural damage quickly.
- Sewage Backups 🚽 — Health hazard alert! Sewage inside your home is an emergency.
- Major Leaks 🌊 — Especially if water is soaking walls, ceilings, or floors.
- No Running Water 💧 — Inoperable water systems can make your home unsafe.
- Overflowing Toilets 🚽 — If plunging doesn't fix it quickly and water keeps rising, it's urgent.
- Broken Water Heater Leaks 🚰 — A leaking tank can flood your home fast.
🚨 When in doubt: If water is moving where it shouldn’t be — call immediately!
🚫 What’s NOT Always an Emergency?
Not every plumbing issue needs a 3AM emergency call.
These can often wait until business hours:
- Minor faucet drips 🚰
- Slow draining sinks 🚰
- Low water pressure (unless total loss)
- Running toilets that haven't overflowed yet
Still worried? Feel free to call us anytime! We’ll help you decide if urgent action is needed. 📞
