Home repairs add to your cost of owning a home. To make matters even worse, you usually need home repairs when you’d least expect them. Although there’s some home repairs you can delay, plumbing problems can’t be delayed. Luckily, the team at B&D Plumbing offers emergency plumbing services because water leaks and damaged pipes can lead to all kinds of home damage. Read on to learn how our emergency plumbing services can help you, as well as the types of home damage that can occur without our assistance.
Mold Buildup
Beyond getting a very pricey water bill in the mail, allowing a water leak to persist will lead to mold and mildew in your home. Under the proper conditions, mold spores can thrive within 48 hours. If you do not act quickly, mold can infiltrate your home in a couple of days. Our emergency plumbing services can help prevent the need for any mold remediation. With a simple phone call, we can help you stop your leak and repair your pipes without being a burden to you.
Foundation Problems
If your home is built on top of a slab, your water pipes may be below the cement subfloor. Water leaks are prevalent in these homes because these pipes receive little to no maintenance year-round. Worst of all, water leaks underneath your slab can lead to foundation issues. If your house is built on a slab and you suspect you’ve got a slab water leak, then you should contact us for emergency plumbing services immediately to help with the problem.
Warped Wood
Water leaks underneath your sinks are another common issue in homes. There are various connectors that connect the curved pipes underneath your sink, and as the years go by, they can become quite loose. What might seem like a drop of water at first, can easily change and become a severe leak that causes warped wood to form under your sink. To avoid replacing your cabinets or other wooden pieces in your home, you should contact us as soon as you can for some emergency plumbing services.
Falls and Slips
Another severe issue of water leaks cause is falling and slipping. Whether its you, a family member, friend, or somebody visiting your home, a fall inside your house can cost you a lot of money. If a guest slips and falls in your house, you might have to spend money on medical bills and a lawsuit. Avoid all of this by giving us a call for assistance!
