WHEN TO CALL A PLUMBER

1. Frequent or Stubborn Toilet Clogs: A plunger will only get you so far when a foreign object is lodged in the drainpipe. An emergency plumber can clear stubborn toilet clogs with more advanced tools.
2. Gurgling Sounds: If you hear gurgling sounds from the sink while the washing machine is in use or the toilet gurgles when you drain the bathtub, you could have a blockage in your sewer line. You’ll want to call an emergency plumber before you have a more severe problem with a backed-up sewer.  
3. Running Water Sounds: There could be a leak somewhere in your pipes if you hear running water sounds and no one uses any water. It is essential to get professional leak detection right away. This way, they can quickly locate and fix the problem, preventing further damage.
4. Stopped-Up Drain: If you have a shower or sink that won’t drain, you likely won’t have the right tools to fix it. Call a plumber or a company that provides drain cleaning to get your drains flowing again.
5. Low Water Pressure: A clogged aerator is Often the culprit for low water pressure. To remove mineral deposits from the aerator, unscrew it from the faucet and soak it in vinegar. If this does not solve the problem, you can call a plumber for help.
6. Sewage Smell: A broken sewer vent or pipe could be to blame for bad smells without an apparent source. The smell is unpleasant, and the problem could cause health and environmental issues. You’ll want to get professional sewer repair to fix the issue immediately. 
7. Frozen Pipes: Frozen pipes can cause low water pressure in the winter. Once you notice low water pressure, you’ll want to act fast to prevent the pipe from bursting and possibly causing significant water damage. 
8. Leaking Hose or Fixture: If you ever see water running out from under the washing machine, dishwasher, or ice maker, the appliance hose may leak. If you can’t stop the drip once you tighten the connection, turn off the water and call a plumber.
9. No Hot Water: Don’t you love cold showers? Said no one ever! Your usual hot shower can suddenly turn ice-cold when you have a problem with your water heater. Fortunately, you can call a plumber who can restore that ever-flowing hot water for you in no time.
10.  Burst Pipes: If a frozen pipe breaks, don’t panic. Call a plumber. Until your emergency plumber arrives, turn the main water valve off to stop water from flowing and prevent further property damage.
