What Counts as a Plumbing Emergency?
Some plumbing problems are urgent and need immediate attention:
- Burst water pipes causing flooding or significant water loss
- Gas leaks — evacuate the property and call the gas emergency line before calling a plumber
- Sewage overflow or blocked sewer causing waste to back up into the property
- No hot water in a household with young children or specific medical needs
- Major leaks that cannot be isolated by shutting off the main water supply
Other plumbing problems are inconvenient but can wait for a scheduled appointment. Wild Water Plumbing can help you assess which category your situation falls into when you call.
