Unfortunately, emergencies can happen at any time. Your plumbing may work wonderfully one moment and the next, you may have mysterious sewage backing up through the pipes. These emergencies require immediate assistance but also may cause a homeowner to panic. Here are several reasons why you should always save the number of a plumber that offers emergency services.

1. Quick Response

Plumbers offering emergency services understand that emergencies can happen anytime. As such, they know that emergencies need immediate attention. These plumbers stay prepared to come to your house to help you at any time, day or night. If your regular plumber doesn't offer emergency services, you may spend hours finding someone to help you.

2. Saved Money

Finding an emergency plumbing service beforehand allows you to work with them as soon as a problem arises. With more time and less stress, you'll be able to find the perfect contractor. This ensures you're working with experienced professionals who won’t overcharge you. According to HomeAdvisor, the average homeowner pays about $2,000 for a professional to take care of a burst pipe, which doesn't include clean-up costs. In the event of an emergency, you may spend a lot more if someone overcharges you.

3. Less Damage

Emergencies can cause thousands of dollars in property damage. For example, a burst pipe will cause a significant amount of water damage to clean up. In addition, you may have to hire water and mold remediation services. The longer you wait to contact a plumber to address the problem, the more damage you’ll have. Prompt service helps mitigate damage and the high costs associated with it.

4. Health Hazards

An untreated plumbing emergency can also cause health hazards. For example, water damage can lead to mold. Sewer backups and clogged pipes can cause an unpleasant odor and poor air quality. It’s best to address problems as soon as possible to protect your home's quality of life.

5. Peace of Mind

Homeowners who know who to call in an emergency enjoy peace of mind. When an emergency strikes, all they have to do is contact their preferred contractor and relax. They won’t spend hours on the internet, searching for a plumber to fix their home's issues. Instead, they’ll know that the problem will be handled soon and the job will be done correctly.
