Plumbing is an area of household maintenance that often gets neglected. Only when something seems wrong, do people give the condition of their plumbing much thought. However plumbing emergencies can occur at any time and often it seems at the most inconvenient times. Examples include in the middle of the night the toilet unforgivingly overflows, or during winter when the shower suddenly turns cold! –

The great advantage of an emergency plumber is that generally the plumber is available both day and night, which is very handy out of business hours. There are various circumstances to call an emergency plumber and these include the following…

Foul Smells

• The presence of a strong pungent smell is a sign of a blocked drain. The smell is due to collection of built up debris and hair stagnating in water that is over time decomposing causing a foul odour. This is not something you need greeting you when you get home after a long day. You can try pouring a drain cleaner to temporarily mask the smell, or you can get the the root of the problem and get the help of a plumber to a clog the drain.

Toilet Issues

• A toilet doesn’t flush anymore. You tried to investigate the issue by taking the lid off, but you come to the realisation you have no idea what’s happening. Perhaps an unusual object got accidentally flushed down the toilet such as your child’s toy, or there’s been too much toilet paper causing a blockage. A properly toilet is a household necessity and any issues need to be solved quickly otherwise the effects can be disastrous and very, very disgusting….

Sink

• The time when you decide to wash the dishes in the kitchen sink and all you see is small drops of water. Normally, you would see a consistent flow of water from the tap. At which point you’re quite concerned that there is a leak somewhere.
