Whether it is a burst pipe, geyser, or a blocked and overflowing waste line, it is never an event to celebrate when there is water wreaking havoc in your home! Each situation may differ, so we have taken the time to give you some advice for dealing with it in the most effective way possible.

What is considered a plumbing emergency? A plumbing emergency will consist of various scenarios with your existing system where there is a severe fault. These scenarios may consist of leaking pipes, blocked drains, burst geysers, no water supply or major water loss. The difference between plumbing emergencies or general plumbing maintenance is that, in the case of an emergency, there is a risk of damage caused to the property or the safety of its occupants is compromised.

Why do plumbing emergencies occur? Just like a car, your plumbing is working system. It is installed according to the local water by-laws (if carried out by a professional). This system requires attention from time to time and failures do occur. These failures are often a result of aged components or materials, product defects, lack of maintenance, external influence or defective workmanship.
