If something goes wrong with your boiler or toilet, there’s no question about it, you need to call an emergency plumber straight away.
But what are the other common reasons to get someone in to fix your plumbing?
No hot water
There’s nothing worse than stepping into a shower only to find the water is freezing cold. If you suddenly find your hot water has disappeared, and you can’t wash the dishes or have a warm bath, you need to get it fixed as soon as possible.
Washing machine or dishwasher leaks
A busy family relies on a functioning washing machine and dishwasher so if one, or even both, start to leak or malfunction, it is essential to get them fixed as soon as possible.
In fact, it is best to have an emergency plumber on speed dial so you don’t have to face a day without a functioning washing machine or dishwasher!
No water pressure
Although you might still be able to run a bath, have a shower or wash the dishes if the water pressure is low, it is not ideal and could take twice as long. So, if you find your flow has suddenly slowed right down, you need to call a plumber to get to the bottom of it.
Blocked toilet
Blocked toilets can be disastrous if they are not fixed straight away, so if yours starts to overflow, don’t hesitate calling the experts.
If you leave it too long, it could cause damage to your flooring and leave a horrible odour in your bathroom.
There could be a problem with the sewage backing up, in which case you won’t be able to sort this out without a plumber’s help!
