Modern indoor plumbing is a miracle that many of us take for granted. Well, until something goes wrong, anyway. Some clogs and leaks can be patched up, at least temporarily, but when do you need to call the plumber? This article will look at the instances when you absolutely have to call your local plumbing company for a job.

You Have No Water

This one is pretty obvious. If you have no water, you need to call a plumber service. You should also call your neighbors to see if they're experiencing the same problems. If it's only you, though, it's an issue with your internal plumbing and not the city's water supply. There are a variety of reasons for your water supply to cut off, but you'll need an experienced set of eyes and hands to identify and address the problem.

Leaking Pipes

According to Comfy Living, a small plumbing leak can waste up to 10,000g of water per year. This can cause your water bill to increase for water you aren't using, and lead to damage in your home. Exposed piping under your sink can usually be fixed with your own hands, but leaking piping behind the walls or under the floor is another problem, entirely. You will need to call a plumbing service to take care of this and prevent damaged flooring and walls.

Burst Line

A burst water supply line is a nightmare for homeowners. This is especially common in the winter months when water in the pipes freezes and leads to catastrophic failures that can flood your home. You will need to contact emergency plumbing services after the fact, but regular plumbing inspections can help you avoid this costly catastrophe.

Low Water Pressure

If your water is not flowing well, you need a plumber to take a look. Low water pressure can be indicative of minor problems with aerators, but may be caused by bigger issues like cracked pipes.

No Hot Water

There's nothing worse than waking up in the dead of winter and realizing there's something wrong with your water heater. If you can't get your hot water going, it may just be that you need to wait a little bit for new water to be heated. If the problem won't go away or constantly returns, however, there may be a problem with your water heater that only a plumber can fix.
