5 Plumbing Emergencies Houston Residents Need to Avoid

We know how important upkeep is for your home, and can minimize damage. However, there are a few issues to consider now in order to avoid a last-minute disaster later.
Clogged toilet
Nobody wants to experience an overflowing toilet, especially not during a gathering of friends. To prevent it, make sure you don’t send too much paper down the drain.
Low flow toilets are popular, but they use less pressure, and sometimes clog up more often. Go easy on your pipes.
Failed water heater
While cold water may not create a middle-of-the-night emergency, it can cause problems for you or your guests during a party.
It’s not a bad idea to inspect your heater now. Does it look old and rusted? Are you already having temperature issues? If so, contact a plumber to come out and give it a look.
Broken garbage disposal
A busted disposal can mean backed up garbage. The smell can be awful in the worst circumstances. Avoid putting food like fatty meats, eggshells, and celery down it.
Try grinding ice cubes in it every now and then. It will help loosen stuck food, and keep it running properly.
Washing machine floods
When was the last time you replaced your washing machine hoses? If left untreated, they can break and flood your whole house. Replace them with sturdier, braided hoses if possible.
Burst pipes
Unfortunately there’s no true way to avoid a burst pipe. It can happen at any time, no matter what you’re doing, or who is attending your home. In the worst cases, you may see a bulge of water in the ceiling, or large spots on the wall. In these cases, shut off the water, and call an emergency plumber.
It may disrupt your home or interrupt your gathering, but it’ll be worth it in the long run.
