What constitutes a plumbing emergency and when to call a professional

An emergency plumbing situation can pose risks to your property, plumbing system, or personal safety, requiring immediate professional intervention.

Common emergencies include burst pipes, gas leaks, blocked drains with sewage backup, and severely blocked toilets.

As a general rule, if there is risk of injury, health hazards, water contamination, gas buildup, or major property damage if action isn’t taken quickly, it qualifies as a major plumbing issue.

DIY repairs are discouraged, as they might exacerbate the issue; instead, rely on our expert professionals. Our expert plumbing professionals have the skills to accurately diagnose and swiftly resolve emergency issues, including hazardous gas scenarios.

Factors affecting emergency plumbing repair times

Several key factors can impact the duration of emergency plumbing repairs:

Issue Complexity

Complex issues, such as extensive corrosion or sewer line blockages, generally require more time to diagnose and fix than straightforward leaks or drain clogs. The scale of the repair can take varying amounts of time and will influence timeframes.

Accessibility

If youre looking at a plumbing gas issue in a hard-to-reach spot like under a concrete slab, behind walls, or in cramped ceiling cavities, extra work is required to gain access. This adds time.

Timing of the Call

When service is needed, promptly call your local plumber during business hours for swift attention. Emergency works outside normal working hours incur overtime rates.

Parts/Tools Needed

Delays can also occur if specialty parts or tools must be sourced before repairs can proceed. Our emergency vehicles are equipped with essential tools and parts to enable our plumbers to address problems swiftly, minimising delays.

Boasting over twenty years of expertise, Bexley Plumbing skilfully manages a variety of scenarios, efficiently solving your plumbing needs and keeping clients updated on timelines.

Preventing common plumbing emergencies

Preventive maintenance and early intervention can significantly reduce the chances of unexpected plumbing issues escalating into emergencies.

Regular inspections and servicing

Ensure your plumbing and hot water systems are inspected annually and maintained with services such as pipe cleaning, drain clearing, water heater flushing, leak checks, and gas fitting inspections.

Install protective devices

It is highly advisable to equip systems with devices like pressure relief valves, leak detectors, and backflow preventers as preventive measures. Such devices help automatically detect irregularities in your systems to prevent further issues.

Repair minor issues early

Promptly fix small leaks, leaking taps, and slow drains to avoid a major plumbing problem and save on your water bill.

Know your main shut-off valve location

Ensure the main water supply valve in your home is clearly identified and labelled for quick shut-off during emergencies. Knowing your main shut-off valve helps minimise water damage by allowing you to quickly cut off the water supply during floods or leaks.

Implementing these preventive plumbing practices significantly reduces risks, and our ongoing maintenance plans support this effort. We offer a wide range of maintenance plans at Bexley Plumbing to help avert future catastrophes too.
