Burst pipes. Overflowing toilets. Backed up drains.
Plumbing emergencies can happen at any time, often catching us off guard as we’re about to jump in the shower after a long day at work or tackle a week’s worth of dirty washing.
Most plumbing issues can wait to be resolved, but some need to be assessed by a professional as soon as possible.
But how do you know if your plumbing dilemma constitutes urgent, out-of-hours assistance, and how quickly can an emergency plumber get to you?

Why choose emergency plumbers?
Emergency plumbers play an important role in keeping your home and plumbing system in tip-top condition, and there are many reasons why you should consider hiring one to help with your plumbing predicaments, including:
They work quickly
When you have an emergency plumbing problem on your hands, speedy intervention is key in preventing permanent damage and extortionate repairs/replacements.
An emergency plumber will work quickly and accurately to get the issue under control and your plumbing system back on the mend.
They have all the correct equipment
Luckily, major plumbing problems only happen once in a blue moon for most homeowners.
However, this may mean that you’re ill-prepared to deal with them – in terms of tools – whenever they arise.
An emergency plumber deals with complex problems day in, and day out, and has all the necessary tools to fix the issue at hand.
They reduce stress
Unexpected, urgent plumbing complications are a real headache – no matter how big or small.
Hiring an emergency plumber, who has all the right tools, knowledge, and experience to resolve the issue quickly, will be a huge weight off your shoulders.
How do I know if I need an emergency plumber?
If you aren’t sure whether or not you need an emergency plumber, there are a few red flags you can look out for:
- Low water pressure – If your water pressure seems lower than usual, it could be due to a blockage within the pipes. An emergency plumber will be able to locate and remove the blockage and get everything back up and running as it should be.
- Foul smells – If you notice foul-smelling drains, that don’t go away after running hot water and cleaning, this is a sure-fire sign of a main sewer line blockage. It’s important you get on top of this issue as quickly as possible, and an emergency plumber is more than capable of resolving it for you.
- High water bills – The cost of utility bills is constantly climbing, but if your water bill is unusually higher than usual, you may have leaky pipes on your hands. Again, an emergency plumber can locate the leak and repair it quickly.
- Slow drainage – Slow-draining sinks and showers are almost always a sign that there’s a blockage somewhere in your plumbing system. It can be difficult to locate and clear blockages by yourself, so calling an emergency plumber is always your best bet.
How fast can an emergency plumber get to me?
Regardless of when your plumbing emergency arises – be it early in the morning, late at night, over the weekend, or on a bank holiday – you need someone who can be there at a moment’s notice to get you back on the mend.
Most emergency plumbers can make it to you on the same day, sometimes even within the hour, working around you and your schedule to cause as little disruption to your daily routine as possible.
