If you have ever had a pipe burst or a toilet overflow, you know the damage that can be caused by a plumbing emergency in your home. Knowing the right steps to take when a plumbing emergency occurs and having the number of the Brooklyn emergency plumbing experts at Petri Plumbing can help keep damage to a minimum.
There are a number of situations that can define a plumbing emergency, with the most common stemming from having a burst pipe or a toilet overflow that is pushing water into your home. Understanding the different types of plumbing issues and what to do when one happens can help save your home from severe damage.
While most people know that a pipe bursting in your home, a broken faucet that is spewing water or an overflowing toilet are plumbing emergencies, the truth is that any plumbing problem can cause major damage inside or outside your home and should be addressed quickly. A leaking pipe in your plumbing may not be thought of as a large problem, but it can lead to a much larger issue, so this should also be addressed immediately.
When water is leaking from a pipe or toilet in your home, the first thing that you should do is to shut off the main water valve in your home. This will help stop the flow of water immediately so that you can minimize any damage that may occur.
If you have noticed that the water flow in your home is not working well or if you have noticed leaks in your home plumbing, you need to find the cause of the problem. A small plumbing leak can account for up to 14% of average household water use and can lead to bigger problems if left untreated.
