Most Common Plumbing Emergencies

Clogged Sinks and Toilets

Snow drains can be very annoying especially when you are doing stuff like washing the dishes or brushing your teeth. If the clog to the drain becomes severe, the water flow will eventually stop and create a backup that can cause flooding. Similarly, if your toilet is clogged, you may hear strange noises, leakages and a toilet that wouldnt flush. Unresolved clogs in the toilet can structural damages and sewage backup into your home. Please contact Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Youngstown for these emergency situations.

Clogged Bathtubs, Shower Drain, Leaky Faucets and Toilets

If you suddenly realize water is backing up into your ankles while taking your bath or there is a sudden gurgling sound from the drain, then you should call for repairs. Bathtubs and shower drain become clogged when soap scum, hair, and other items buildup, thus blocking your bathtub drain.

Leaky faucets are characterized by constant drips and such drips may end up increasing your utility bills significantly and can lead to the development of rusty plumbing lines and mold growth.

Leaking Water Heater and Washing Machine Hoses

Leakages can interrupt the supply of hot water from your water heater appliance. Leaks can cause damages to properties when not repaired but a leaky water heater valve can be replaced easily. If your water heater has become rusty, you may need an emergency replacement to resolve the problem.

Similarly, water hoses are normally the weakest links even in the sturdiest and most durable washing machines. Mold and rust can cause bulging hose behind your washer, and they must not be ignored.

Broken Water Lines and Burst Pipes

Water lines in homes can break as a result of many issues, these include tree roots, natural disasters like earthquakes and even digging. Broken water lines can create soggy areas in some parts of your home, and it can also cause a drastic reduction in water pressure.

Similarly, burst pipes can occur as a result of free-thawing during cold winter conditions. You will need a complete pipe replacement to resolve these issues.
