Emergency Plumbing Austin Texas - Plumbing emergencies can happen without warning. If the situation is truly not an emergency, it might be better for you to schedule a plumbing service call during regular calling hours as emergency rates are generally priced higher than normal plumbing maintenance rates.
A word of caution: If you have natural gas or propane and also you smell gas in the home, shut off the main valve (where the gas comes into the house) and call for service immediately!
These are the five major causes of a plumbing emergency. Here are a few helpful troubleshooting tips you can try before calling for service after hours.
No Heat?
1.) Check the thermostat. Is it off or turned down?
2.) Check the burner switch. Usually located near your furnace, it looks like a light switch with a red switch plate. Sometimes this does get turned off by mistake.
3.) Look at your oil tank. Are you out of oil?
4.) Look into the burner reset button. Oil furnaces have a red colored reset button around the burner itself. Push to reset. If it trips again, call for service.
5.) Look at the circuit breaker panel. Reset tripped breaker only once. If it trips again, demand service.
Emergency Plumbing Austin Texas - No Water?
1.) Look at the pump circuit breaker internally panel. Reset once. If it trips again, you can typically wait until morning to schedule a service call.
2.) Check the pressure tank gauge.
3.) Look at your checkbook! Did you pay your water bill?
No Hot Water?
1.) Check all warm water fixtures in the house.
2.) Look into the circuit breaker in-house panel.
If you have an electrical hot water tank, reset breaker. When it trips again, do not reset. Call for service. If you have a tankless coil water heater, and you heat with oil, follow steps for "no heat." For those who have a gas hot water tank, do not reset breaker or re-light pilot. Turn off gas valve and call for service immediately.
Leaking Pipe?
1.) Turn off main water valve, or gate valve to that particular broken pipe.
2.) Require plumbing repair.
Note: A broken pipe does not necessarily require 24-hour emergency service. However, once a place becomes saturated behind sheet rock or carpeting gets soaked, mold can emerge within 36 hours. Some plumbers provide emergency water extraction services, as well as mold remediation and restoration. Usually do not ignore a leaking pipe unless you can get around to fixing it. It may create a much bigger problem the more time you wait!
Emergency Plumbing Austin Texas - Clogged Drain?
1.) Identify the source of the clog. You can find the source by water in other sinks in the home. If all drains backup, then the source of the clog is in the soil pipe itself. Require service to root it out. If it's the toilet, plunge it. If it's only one sink drain, check underneath for any clean out trap. You can unscrew the plug in the bottom and pull out the clog.
2.) If all drains are clogged, otherwise you are unable to unclog the trap yourself, require plumbing service. Avoid the use of liquid plumber or similar products.
