Frequently Asked Questions About Plumbing Emergencies

What qualifies as a plumbing emergency?

A plumbing emergency is any situation that requires immediate attention to prevent further damage or inconvenience. This can include burst pipes, major leaks, sewage backups, overflowing toilets, and water heater malfunctions.

How do I know if I have a burst pipe?

Signs of a burst pipe include a sudden loss of water pressure, water discoloration, damp or wet walls or ceilings, and the sound of running water when no fixtures are in use. If you suspect a burst pipe, it's important to shut off the main water supply and call a professional plumber immediately.

What should I do in case of a major leak?

In case of a major leak, the first step is to shut off the water supply to the affected area or the entire house if necessary. Then, contact a professional plumber to assess the situation and make the necessary repairs. It's important to act quickly to minimize water damage.

How can I prevent frozen pipes?

To prevent frozen pipes, you can take several precautions. Insulate exposed pipes, especially those in unheated areas. Keep the thermostat set to a consistent temperature, even when you're away. Allow faucets to drip during extremely cold weather to relieve pressure. And if you're going on vacation during winter, consider shutting off the main water supply and draining the pipes.

What should I do if my water heater malfunctions?

If your water heater malfunctions, the first step is to turn off the power supply or gas valve to the heater. Then, contact a professional plumber to diagnose and repair the issue. Attempting to fix a water heater yourself can be dangerous and may void the warranty.

How long does it take for a plumbing emergency to be resolved?

The time it takes to resolve a plumbing emergency depends on the nature and severity of the issue. Minor leaks or blockages can often be fixed within a few hours, while more complex problems like burst pipes or extensive water damage may require several days. Our team strives to provide swift and efficient solutions to minimize disruption and restore your peace of mind as quickly as possible.

What Counts as a Plumbing Emergency?

Generally, any plumbing issue that poses an immediate threat to your health, safety, or property is considered an emergency. For instance, ruptured pipes fall under this category as they can cause significant water damage to your property if not addressed immediately. Water heater leaks or failures are also pressing concerns – a malfunctioning water heater can lead to scalding hot water or no hot water at all, disrupting daily routines and posing a potential risk. Overflowing toilets, another common plumbing emergency, are unhygienic and inconvenient and can lead to water damage.

Issues with your sewer system also often qualify as emergencies. These can result in sewage water backing up into your home, posing serious health risks. A sump pump failure during heavy rains can lead to flooding in homes with basements. Major leaks from a pipe, faucet, or appliance require immediate attention, as they can cause extensive water damage and significantly increase your water bill. 

However, even minor issues, such as a small leak or a slowly draining sink, could escalate into major problems if left unattended. Therefore, when in doubt, it’s always best to consult with a professional.

Always Address Plumbing Emergencies ASAP

Plumbing emergencies, by their very nature, demand immediate attention. Whether it's a burst pipe, an overflowing toilet, or a malfunctioning water heater, each passing second can exacerbate the problem, leading to more extensive damage and potentially higher repair costs.

Ignoring a plumbing emergency doesn't just disrupt your day-to-day activities; it can also pose serious health and safety risks. Sewer system backups can lead to unsanitary conditions, while water damage from leaks or ruptures can contribute to mold growth, harming your health. Moreover, unchecked water damage can threaten the structural integrity of your home, leading to even more significant problems.

A Step-By-Step Guide to Dealing With Plumbing Emergencies

  1. Shut Off the Water: The first step in dealing with any plumbing emergency is to stop the flow of water, especially if that flow is uncontrolled due to backflow or a leak. Locate your home's main water valve and turn it off. For more minor emergencies like a leaking faucet or toilet, you can simply turn off the water supply to that specific fixture.
  2. Assess the Situation: Once the water is off, try to assess the situation. Get as much information as you can so that you can communicate it to your plumber – the more we know going in, the faster we can fix it!
  3. Minimize Damage: Try to minimize any potential damage. If there's pooling water, clean it up as soon as possible to avoid further damage to your home. Use buckets, towels, or mops to clean up any standing water.
  4. Call a Professional: Wildcat Plumbing offers 24/7 emergency services and can assist with a wide range of plumbing emergencies. Be sure to describe the situation in as much detail as possible so they can provide appropriate advice or service.
  5. Document the Damage: If there's significant damage, document it for insurance purposes. Take pictures and note what happened and what kind of damage ensued.
  6. Prevent Future Emergencies: Once the situation is under control, take steps to prevent future emergencies. This could involve regular maintenance checks by a professional, fixing small issues before they become large ones, and learning more about your home's plumbing system.
