When Is a Plumbing Problem an Emergency?

Monday, September 19th, 2022

Unfortunately there isn’t a way to predict exactly when you’ll have a plumbing emergency. That’s why it’s called an emergency! Even when you pay close attention to how your plumbing is working, surprises can still pop up. This is because so much of your plumbing – pipes and other fixtures – aren’t visible in your walls, attic, or under your home.

And we all know that plumbing emergencies don’t happen when it’s convenient. They happen when you’re getting in the shower before going to work for the day, or after you come home from work and don’t realize something has been leaking all day long. If you need services for emergency plumbing in Calgary, AB, our team can help. In the meantime, you can learn what constitutes a true plumbing emergency and what isn’t a true emergency.
