Emergency Plumbing Austin Texas - Plumbing emergencies may appear without warning. If the situation is truly not an emergency, it would be better for you to schedule a plumbing service call during regular calling hours as emergency rates are usually priced higher than normal plumbing maintenance rates.

A word of caution: For those who have natural gas or propane and you also smell gas in the house, shut off the main valve (where the gas comes into the house) and call for service immediately!

These are the five major causes of the plumbing emergency. Here are some helpful troubleshooting tips you can test before calling for service after hours.

No Heat?

1.) Look at the thermostat. Is it off or rejected?

2.) Check the burner switch. Usually located near your furnace, it's like a light switch having a red switch plate. Sometimes this gets turned off by mistake.

3.) Look at your oil tank. Have you been out of oil?

4.) Look into the burner reset button. Oil furnaces have a red colored reset button around the burner itself. Push to reset. Whether it trips again, demand service.

5.) Check the circuit breaker panel. Reset tripped breaker only once. If it trips again, call for service.

Emergency Plumbing Austin Texas - No Water?

1.) Look into the pump circuit breaker in-house panel. Reset once. When it trips again, it is possible to typically wait until morning to schedule a service call.

2.) Look into the pressure tank gauge.

3.) Look at checkbook! Did you pay your water bill?

No Domestic hot water?

1.) Check all hot water fixtures in the house.

2.) Check the circuit breaker in-house panel.

If you have a power hot water tank, reset breaker. Whether it trips again, usually do not reset. Call for service. If you have a tankless coil water heater, and you heat with oil, follow steps for "no heat." When you have a gas domestic hot water tank, do not reset breaker or re-light pilot. Turn off gas valve and call for service immediately.

Leaking Pipe?

1.) Shut down main water valve, or gate valve to that broken pipe.

2.) Demand plumbing repair.

Note: A broken pipe does not necessarily require 24-hour emergency service. However, once a place becomes saturated behind sheet rock or carpeting gets soaked, mold can occur within 36 hours. Some plumbers provide emergency water extraction services, as well as mold remediation and restoration. Usually do not ignore a leaking pipe unless you can get around to fixing it. It may create a much bigger problem the more time you wait!

Emergency Plumbing Austin Texas - Clogged Drain?

1.) Identify the source of the clog. You'll find the source by running water in other sinks inside your home. If all drains back up, then the source of the clog is in the soil pipe itself. Demand service to root out. If it's the toilet, plunge it. If it's only one sink drain, check underneath for a clean out trap. It is possible to unscrew the plug in the bottom and pull out the clog.

2.) If all drains are clogged, or you are unable to unclog the trap yourself, demand plumbing service. Avoid the use of liquid plumber or similar products.
