The Scariest Plumbing Problems A Person Can Face

Homeowners have plenty to be scared of when it comes to taking care of the critical infrastructure of their homes. Problems with plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems can be expensive to repair, and their malfunction often causes damage. This is true of plumbing more than any other system in a home. Plumbing problems can result in significant damage. Floods can damage floors and walls. Slab leaks can undermine a foundation. Slow leaks can rot out cabinets and floor decking. 

To prevent damage to a home, homeowners need to know how to prevent plumbing emergencies and have a good relationship with plumbing contractors in their area.

Burst Pipes

Broken Water Pipe Spraying Water

A burst pipe is one of the most damaging problems that can occur in a home. Even a small water line at the proper pressure can flood a room in a very short amount of time. Once the room is flooded, floors begin to buckle, and drywall quickly becomes damaged. If the area is not dried at once, mold can begin to grow inside walls and require the walls to be replaced. 
Pipes can burst for a variety of reasons. Some of these include:

  • Old, corroded pipes that burst
  • Frozen pipes
  • Excessive pressure
  • Mechanical damage

If a pipe bursts, it is important to know where shut-off valves are located to minimize flooding. After the emergency is contained, call a plumber for emergency plumbing repair. 

Toilets And Sinks Overflowing

One of the grossest plumbing problems that can happen is overflowing sinks and toilets. The sight of soiled water spilling onto the floors is a lot to stomach. Once the dirty water is on the floor, damage to the home’s structure can occur as well as exposure of the home’s inhabitants to dangerous pathogens that thrive in the soiled water

Paying close attention to what goes down a drain can help ensure that drains and toilets stay flowing. If homeowners notice a slow-flushing toilet or hear a gurgling drain, it is important to take action. Toilet and sink clogs never fix themselves. If clogs are frequent, routine drain cleaning can help keep overflows from occurring. If an overflow is already occurring, the homeowner will need to call for emergency plumbing service.

Gross Clogged Sink Overflowing

Sump Pump Problems

A sump pump is a special type of pump that is submerged under water. Sump pumps are usually part of a basement drainage system, landscape drainage plan, or part of a system to keep crawl spaces from flooding. The pumps are always located in low spots so that water drains towards them so that the sump pump can pump it away. 

When sump pumps fail, big problems can occur. Since sumps are used to protect some aspects of a home, their failure usually means damage is occurring. Often this takes the form of a flooded basement or a damaged foundation from rainwater that wasn’t pumped away from the base of a home. To prevent this plumbing emergency, it is important to have the sump pump checked regularly by a professional and know a company that keeps technicians on call to fix common plumbing emergencies.
