5 of the Most Prevalent Plumbing Emergencies
As any homeowner can tell you, plumbing emergencies are often all too common, but there are some particular situations which are more common than others. The fixtures attached to our plumbing are some of the most used in any home throughout the course of any given day, and this gives them plenty of opportunity to break down, malfunction, or clog.

The top 5 most common plumbing emergencies are:
Clogged toilets – Toilets can clog for a myriad of reasons, whether it’s a typical type of clog, or your youngest has decided to investigate what would happen if he or she flushes their sock. Clogged toilets can lead to toilet overflows, and you can’t use a toilet when it’s clogged, so it’s always important to have these types of plumbing emergencies fixed right away.

Leaky fixtures – Whether hot water heaters, toilets, or sinks, leaky fixtures are all too common. These leaks can occur for a number of different reasons, but it’s always important to have them remedied right away in order to avoid water exposure to your flooring, walls, or wires.

Clogged shower drains – There are few things as unpleasant as getting into the shower only to notice the water level raising to your ankles, and along with it a plethora of soap scum and other unpleasantries rising from the drain. No matter the time or reason for your clogged shower drain, our professionals are on hand to make it right once again.

Burst pipes – During the Long Island winter, burst pipes are an ever unfortunate reality, and they can wreak havoc on your home. A burst pipe can send a flood of water into any room of the house, ruining furniture, flooring, and fixtures, so it’s always best to have burst pipes fixed as quickly as possible.

Broken hot water heater – It’s all too common to realize just how much you use hot water when you find you don’t have any, and broken hot water heaters are the most common culprit for these scenarios.

Whether you’re experiencing one of these common emergencies, or something a little different, any plumbing emergency should be remedied quickly to avoid the situation growing worse.
