Plumbing problems don't follow the rules of standard operating hours, often arising in the middle of the night or on the weekend. Waialae Plumbing and Construction maintains an emergency plumber around the clock to provide the ultimate level of convenience for their Honolulu, HI, clients. If you're unsure whether your problem requires an emergency plumber, here are three common situations that do.

3 Reasons to Call an Emergency Plumber

Backed Up Drains

When your sinks, bathtub, and shower drains are backed up, it's a sign your system is harboring a dangerous clog. If not repaired quickly, you run the risk of extensive property damage or illness. The plumbers at Waialae Plumbing and Construction use a specially designed camera during their inspection to help allow them to identify and pinpoint the specific location of the blockage. This process allows them to avoid guesswork, so they're able to quickly and safely address the clog and view any damage that may have occurred.

Clogged Toilets

In many cases, a quick plunge will unclog a blocked toilet. If that is ineffective, you need the help of a trained professional. A clogged toilet can be a sign of a larger plumbing issue, including a backed up septic tank, clogged sewer pipes, or plumbing interference from tree roots. All of these issues can cause serious damage to your  household, so the sooner a plumber finds and locates the problem, the less likely you are to have to replace the  sewer damaged property.

Leaks & Flooding

Whether it's a puddle of water or an entire floor of your home, you need to contact an emergency plumber if you're experiencing a leak. Fixing the leak or burst pipe quickly decreases your risk of extensive and permanent home damage. Such a situation can result in your floors, walls, and structural elements being compromised and in need of replacement, and many homeowner's insurance policies don't cover flooding issues that occur as a result of your plumbing network. Avoid such a financial burden by calling an experienced plumber right away.
