Burst or Frozen Pipes

A burst pipe will typically result in immediate water damage and even extensive flooding. If possible, you should turn off your main water supply until one of our technicians can get to you to address the issue. Pipes can burst for a variety of reasons, but one common cause is freezing temperatures. When the water inside a pipe freezes, it expands and puts pressure on the walls of the pipe. If the pressure becomes too great, the pipe can crack or burst open, causing water to leak out and potentially flood your home. Pipes may also burst due to corrosion or wear and tear over time, especially in older homes with outdated plumbing systems. Additionally, high water pressure can put stress on pipes and cause them to rupture, and, in some cases, even improper installation or maintenance can also contribute to pipe failures. Regardless of the cause, we will repair or replace the damaged piping as soon as possible and review strategies for preventing further leaks and water damage.

Gas Leaks

Gas leaks can be extremely dangerous and pose a significant risk to your and your family’s health and safety. When gas leaks occur, they release toxic fumes into the air that can cause headaches, dizziness, nausea, and even death in severe cases. Gas leaks may happen due to a variety of reasons such as damaged or corroded gas lines, faulty appliances or equipment, improper installation, or human error. Natural gas is odorless and colorless, which makes it difficult to detect without proper equipment. That is why utility companies add an unpleasant smell called mercaptan to natural gas so that people can easily recognize the presence of a leak. If you suspect a gas leak in your home or business, it is critical to evacuate immediately and call our team. We can repair the damaged gas line so that you can safely return to your home as quickly as possible.

Overflowing Toilets or Sinks

When water overflows from a sink or toilet, it can create a breeding ground for bacteria, mold, and other harmful microorganisms. Overflowing may happen due to a variety of reasons, including clogged drainpipes, blocked sewer lines, or other issues with your plumbing system. Flushing inappropriate items down the toilet like wet wipes or feminine hygiene products can also cause blockages that trigger overflowing. Similarly, pouring grease or food scraps down the sink can clog drains.

No Hot Water

Your home’s water heater is responsible for heating and storing hot water that is used for household activities like showering, cooking, and cleaning. Malfunctions can occur due to various reasons, including sediment buildup, faulty thermostats, or a broken heating element. When any of these issues occur, the water heater may not be able to heat the water properly or maintain an adequate amount of hot water supply. This will inevitably lead to major discomfort and inconvenience, as you will not have the hot water you need to complete daily tasks. We can identify why your water heater has stopped functioning properly and work quickly to return warm water to your faucets.

Basement Flooding Due to a Malfunctioning Sump Pump

A sump pump is designed to prevent basement flooding by pumping out excess water that accumulates in the sump pit. A broken or malfunctioning sump pump can lead to a buildup of water in the pit, causing it to overflow and flood your basement. Malfunctions may be the result of prolonged power outages, mechanical failures, or clogged discharge pipes. If nothing is done, continued flooding will do considerable damage to your property and belongings.

Sewer Backups

When wastewater from your home’s plumbing system cannot flow freely through the sewer line, it will instead flow back into your home. This can cause significant harm to your property and pose health risks due to exposure to harmful bacteria and other contaminants. Tree root infiltration, clogs in the pipes, and damaged sewer lines can all cause these backups, but we are prepared to swiftly fix this unpleasant issue, no matter the cause.
