24 Hour Plumbing Services

Imagine being in a peaceful sleep in the middle of the night, and the faint sound of a waterfall in your dream just relaxes and calms you into a further slumber.

You love the sound of that water hitting the rocks below; maybe even a rainbow appears in the mist. Something, however, is trying to pull you out of your dream and even though you try to resist, you slowly start to waken. The sound of the water is not fading and once you are fully awake, you realize what you are hearing is some kind of virtual waterfall coming from inside your home. And the water is not hitting rocks; it's hitting a part of your home's structure.

You jump out of bed in a panic to see exactly what is causing this cascading sound. It doesn't take much investigation before you discover that the frigid temperatures outside have decided to create mayhem on your home's plumbing. At least one pipe has frozen and now burst. You're pleasant dream has now become a realistic nightmare.

Now you have the pleasure of replacing ruined furniture and precious belongings, the dreaded task of figuring out how you'll repair the structural damage, and you've also unintentionally sent mold and mildew and invitation to a moisture party. This has all resulted from just one plumbing incident.

Let's move on to that big, marvelous maple tree in your yard. That tree has been there for years, and has hosted many family picnics under it. Its strong branches held the swing as your child flew through the air, giggling with delight. You've enjoyed the summer breezes flowing through it, and stood amazed as it boasted its beautiful colors in the fall.

Underground, the tree's family of roots is having a picnic of their own. They are growing and moving, searching for water. The surprise comes when the root family finds their way into your sewer line, trapping waste as it travels down the pipe. Your gorgeous tree has caused an ugly sewer backup. Now toxic waste is present, and of course, this happened after typical business hours. These scenarios are just two of the many complications that can occur with plumbing. These incidents are considered dire emergencies, and require immediate attention before more damage takes place.

A faucet that constantly drips, a continuously running toilet, or a hair clog in the tub drain is all seemingly minor plumbing annoyances. You might think they are easy fixes, with the jiggle of the toilet handle or by dumping an abusive chemical agent down the pipes. These issues may appear simple on the surface, but the plumbing below is telling another story. Unless plumbing is properly remedied, the smallest problem can lead to the biggest catastrophe.

So what happens when you are confronted with one or more of these plumbing problems and it's not during normal business hours? That is when a 24/7 plumbing company is not only convenient, but appreciated. The longer a major plumbing situation is left unresolved, the likeliness of extensive damage increases.

Although some plumbing companies are on board with extended business hours and around the clock emergency services, residing in a lower populated community or rural area may prove the search for this type of service more challenging. Most major cities like Detroit, Chicago, and Dallas have thousands of businesses, including 24/7 emergency plumbing services. Miami, Columbus, Nashville, and San Francisco are just a few of the myriad of locations that also provide services any time of the day or night. The list of cities with anytime plumbing services is extensive. You will need to do some research for your specific area, but is well worth the time in choosing a licensed professional plumber.

When a plumbing service is not available 24 hours, it is easy for you as a resident or homeowner to attempt to tackle the repair yourself. This article is intended to provide you with helpful information as to why it is never recommended to take on a plumbing situation on your own.

As mentioned before, repairs of this nature can result in further damage to the plumbing or your home if you don't know what you're doing. Plumbing is a skilled trade that requires extensive education and training, as well as the completion of a rigorous state exam. A licensed plumber has the knowledge of all plumbing intricacies, as well as the right equipment to restore current problems and prevent new ones from arising.

With all of the videos readily available via the internet, it can be tempting to resort to doing repairs yourself. These resources claim to assist you in the most minor to major home repairs and renovations in a do-it-yourself tutorial. These same instructional videos also give the perception that you will reap huge savings doing the fixing yourself. This may all seem enticing but it's not always a wise decision. The amount it costs to reverse a repair gone bad will leave you with nothing but a tally of additional expense.

No homeowner or resident wants to experience a plumbing disaster, but sometimes it is inevitable. Take the wise approach and choose a licensed plumbing company that offers 24 hour plumbing services before disaster strikes. Be proactive and ask one of these professionals to inspect your home for potential complications. This will help to ensure a peace of mind for you and your family, so you can keep those waterfalls in your dreams.
