What To Expect During a Plumbing Emergency

There are any number of things that can constitute a plumbing emergency, including a clogged drain in your kitchen sink, an overflowing toilet or a leaking roof due to blocked gutters. No matter what issue you are having with your plumbing system, you will want to contact an emergency plumbing Docklands service as soon as you notice a problem. Here are some of the things that you can expect during the course of a plumbing emergency.

Early Signs You Should Call Emergency Plumbing in Docklands

The first sign of a plumbing emergency is when you notice something wrong somewhere in your home. For example, you might encounter:

• A puddle of water on the floor from a leaky or burst pipe
• Leaking roof during a storm
• A toilet that does not seem to want to flush
• Foul odours coming from sink or shower drains
• An unexplained puddle or sodden patch of the garden could indicate a leaking water pipe or blocked stormwater drain.

Not only are plumbing issues inconvenient, but they can also cause significant damage to your home if not fixed immediately by a licensed professional. Avoid potentially making the plumbing problem worse by attempting to fix the problem yourself.

Visit From a Plumber

When you call an emergency plumbing service like us, you will get straight onto an experienced plumber from your local area. One of our lead plumbers has the phone on him and is on call 24 hours a day, every day. When you call 03 9636 0156 you're not calling an answering service or receptionist. The Plumber can help talk you through the issue, to understand the severity and let you know what to do while they are on their way.

Because we are pretty much just around the corner, you can expect a plumber to get to you in 10-30mins in an emergency situation any time of day. We understand that you can't time your plumbing issues to occur only during standard working hours. Depending on the severity of the issue, the plumber might stay for as little as 30 minutes or as long as several hours.

Keep in mind that the plumber will likely want to ask you questions about your plumbing issue in order to diagnose the problem, so make sure that you are available to chat with them and have the details of the issue. It is also a good idea to clear the area to make it easier for the plumber to get in there to fix the problem.

Preventive Measures

After the plumber fixes the problem, they might let you know what caused the issue and what, if anything, you can do to prevent it from happening again. For example, one way to help prevent plumbing problems due to backed-up pipes is to avoid putting things down drains that do not belong there, such as coffee grounds.
