In our experience at Southern Contracting Company, we have realized that not everyone recognizes when a plumbing issue is severe enough to contact a plumber for assistance. While many minor plumbing problems can be solved using DIY methods, there are some issues that require professional attention.
In this article, we will go over three examples of plumbing problems that warrant a call to our plumbing team.
- Leaks – If any of your pipes or water fixtures start leaking, even a little, then we encourage you to call our plumbing team right away so we can assess the situation. The longer you wait to get a leak taken care of, the worse it will get, so don’t hesitate to contact our plumbing experts as soon as possible.
- No Hot Water – If you suddenly notice that there’s no hot water available, we strongly recommend contacting our plumbing team. If the water from your taps won’t heat up no matter how long you wait, then you should call a plumber to get your water heater checked out. Our team has the right experience to figure out what’s wrong and to provide the effective solutions you need.
- Sewage Backups – Sewage backups are serious plumbing issues that can pose major health and environmental risks. If sludge starts backing up into your toilets or drains, you should contact a plumber right away, as well as your septic company. A sewage backup indicates a problem with your septic system or sewer line, so you need to get the problem addressed as soon as possible.
