Plumbing disasters never seem to happen at a convenient time. One minute, everything’s fine, and the next, you’ve got water all over the floor, a blocked drain that won’t budge, or a sewer backing up. That’s why having 24/7 emergency plumbing services is a super important part of our business at Install Plumbing & Roofing. Waiting too long to fix plumbing issues can lead to major damage and expensive repairs, so getting a pro in ASAP is always the best move.
Common Emergency Plumbing Nightmares
There are a few plumbing problems that pop up more often than others, and when they do, they need fast action. Blocked drains, water leaks, and sewer backups can quickly turn into a full-blown crisis if ignored.
Blocked Drains: What’s Clogging Things Up?
A blocked drain might start as a slow trickle, but before you know it, water isn’t going anywhere. Grease, food scraps, hair, and even tree roots can be the culprits. Sure, you could try some store-bought drain cleaner, but that often does not get the block moving. The safest bet? Call an expert, we service all of Sydney and are here to help —our plumbers can clear the blockage properly and prevent it from happening again. We have a variety of specialist tools to deal with any block and the training to handle these safely.
Did you know using a drain snake/ electric eel without proper experience can cause damage to your pipes and also cause pretty serious injury to your hands and arms? No? Most people don’t until it’s too late. For the same amount of time and money it took you to find, rent, collect and use (or misuse) the electric eel, a plumber with a Jetter can sort it out. Saving you the hassle and potential property damage, too.
Water Leaks: Why You Shouldn’t Ignore Them
Leaky taps, burst pipes, or hidden water damage inside your walls can lead to mold, structural issues, and higher water bills. Some leaks aren’t even visible until the damage is done. Rapid response to water leaks means catching these problems early, saving you from bigger headaches later. A pro plumber has the right tools to find and fix leaks quickly.
Why DIY Plumbing Fixes Can Make Things Worse
We get it—YouTube makes DIY plumbing look easy. But the reality? Most home fixes are temporary at best and can cause bigger problems if done wrong. A quick patch job might seem like a win, but you could end up with more leaks, busted pipes, or even bigger blockages.
Also your average DIY enthusiast doesn't have the years of experience required to correctly diagnose the issue, where plumbers will be able to identify the true cause of the block and find the safest and most affordable way to clear it.
Install Plumbing & Roofing licensed plumbers have the skills and tools to fix the issue properly, so you don’t have to keep dealing with the same problem.
