Unfortunately, small plumbing problems can quickly turn into nightmares. 

Overflowing Toilet

This is probably one of the most dreaded plumbing disasters. An overflowing toilet immediately requires a call to a 24/7 emergency plumber in Bristol.

Overflowing toilets can have serious consequences, as the water can be contaminated with bacteria and viruses that can lead to illness.Even if the blockage seems relatively small and simple to fix, it’s best for a professional emergency plumber to assess the problem and fix it so that the toilet doesn’t overflow again.

Frozen Pipes

If you live in an area where temperatures drop below freezing during the winter, you probably know the kind of damage that frost and ice can cause. When water freezes, it expands, and this can cause significant damage to both commercial and residential plumbing systems. An emergency plumber can help you unblock the pipes and insulate them to prevent future problems.

Broken Water Heaters

Lack of proper maintenance and repair of water heaters can suddenly lead to a malfunction in the hot water system. It’s certainly a huge inconvenience if family members have to get ready for work and school, only to discover there’s no hot water.

What to do if you have a plumbing emergency?

When the plumbing system fails at home, water can cause structural damage and threaten the safety of your family. Therefore, you need to act quickly to contain the water and minimize the damage.

Here are some steps to take in the event of a plumbing emergency:

1. TURN OFF THE WATER
   Turn off the water at the nearest source. If a pipe has burst, you may need to find the main water supply, which is typically located outside somewhere in the yard. The main valve is usually found at the edge of the yard for utility companies to access. Be sure to turn off the valve.

2. CHECK THE WATER HEATER
   Once the main valve is turned off, you need to immediately turn off the water heater to prevent buildup inside the main unit. If heat accumulates in the water heater, the tank may explode or overheat. If you have a gas water heater, turn off the gas before turning off the water heater.

3. CLEAN UP THE FLOODED WATER
   If there is standing water in your house, you should first contain it, then soak it up with towels or a mop. If the leak in the pipes is small, you can wrap the opening with plumber’s tape if possible. You can also wrap rags around the pipe and place a bucket under the leak.
