How To Prevent Plumbing Emergencies

 A plumbing emergency can not only prove to be costly but can have a significant impact on your home life. Whether it's a frozen pipe or a major leak in your pipe, some plumbing emergencies require the immediate attention of a trained professional Plumber Cranberry Township. However, there are several steps you can take to ensure that your plumbing remains in good condition, such as drain cleaning and leak detection services, that can help reduce the chances of future emergencies. Common plumbing emergencies include: 

Clogged Pipes and/or Drains

Clogging can occur when plants crack through pipes or foreign objects enter the drain. Once clogging is detected, it is important to act quickly to remove anything causing the blockage, or else your system will be backlogged with water. Attempting to remove it yourself could cause further damage to your pipes. Common causes of drain/pipe clogging include:

Frozen Pipes

Frozen pipes are a serious emergency that occurs during the colder months. With the water expanding until the pipes burst, pipes can freeze, a costly plumbing emergency. If any parts of the pipe are exposed to the outside, making sure they have proper insulation will help reduce the chances of them freezing.

Leaking Fixtures

While a few drops of water dripping from the tap may not sound like a serious emergency, it can actually result in the loss of hundreds of gallons of water, which can significantly impact your water bill. Also, a leak somewhere is a sign that there is a problem, which, if not addressed, can lead to a bigger and more costly emergency.
