Your home depends on its plumbing to provide both clean water and disposal of waste. But when plumbing fails it can cause a huge mess. That’s why it’s important to call for plumbing services when things go wrong. Below, Silver Creek Plumbing Company lists some situations that call for assistance from a plumber.

5 Situations When You Need to call a Plumber

1. Burst Pipes

Your plumping pipes can burst for a number of reasons, from corrosion over time to freezing temperatures—or even poor installation. The result can be anything from a steady leak that can weaken sheetrock, to a massive flood that causes extensive water damage to your home. Whatever the problem, it will only grow worse the longer you delay in calling a plumber.

2. Backed-Up Sewage

Another unpleasant, messy plumbing problem is sewage backup. If items are improperly flushed down drains and toilets, serious clogs could develop. Tree roots too, can break pipes and impede waste flow. In both of these situations, the waste has nowhere to go except back into your home. A qualified plumber can take care of the problem and minimize the damage while they’re at it.

3. No Hot Water

Especially in the winter months, it can be miserable to not have any hot shower water. But hot water is also necessary for your dishwasher and clothes washer. Water heater problems can be hazardous, too, and shouldn’t be ignored. If your water heater is malfunctioning, you’ll need to call for plumbing so your home can keep functioning.

4. Flooded Yard

If your yard is saturated with water when you’ve had little recent precipitation, it could indicate burst water or sewage lines. Again, tree roots, corrosion, or shifting or compacted soil can cause buried pipes to burst and start dumping water or waste into the soil. Contact a plumber about this right away.

5. Leaking Outdoor Spigots

Leaky exterior spigots may not seem any more problematic than a leaky kitchen or bathroom faucet, but it can be an indicator of a serious issue. Freezing temperatures can cause cracks in the fixture and some of that water can make its way to the inside of your house from the hose spigots. Have a plumber check it out just to be on the safe side..
