When taking care of your home, stay prepared for plumbing emergencies by having the right professional available. An emergency plumbing company is available when you have a plumbing situation that can't wait for an appointment later in the week. Here are some reasons why you should always have access to a reliable emergency plumber .

Do you remember the last time you called a plumber for emergency assistance? According to Kitchen Infinity, over 12 million Americans contacted a plumber over three times in one year. If any of those cases involved an overflowing toilet, they most likely called for an emergency plumber. If a toilet has a clog or a problem with a backed-up septic system, you can't wait until later in your week to fix it. When toilets overflow, human waste such as fecal matter and urine can end up all over your floor. Not only is it disgusting to clean up but it also would prevent you from using a toilet until it's fixed. Everyone must relieve themselves several times a day, and not having a functional toilet would make any home uncomfortable and unsanitary to live in.

While some people may enjoy an occasional cold shower when it's extremely hot outside, that doesn't mean you can live without hot water, even during the summer. Having access to hot water keeps your home sanitary. You need hot water to properly shower, wash clothes, wash your hands and dishes. After all, the water should be at a certain temperature in order to kill bacteria that lingers on your hands, especially after you use the toilets.

It's one thing if you have a clogged drain because you accidentally put something in it, like food or too much hair in the shower. However, unexplained clogs and extremely slow drains may signal a deeper problem, such as a full septic tank. The plumber can diagnose whether something is simply stuck in your pipe that they can use a plumbing snake to clear or if it's a much deeper issue that requires a septic cleaning or repair.

Like any other part of your home, your plumbing system will likely need emergency care at times. Fortunately, help is always available thanks to the services of your local emergency plumber. If you need us, don't hesitate to call our team at RDZ Plumbing & Drains anytime.
