The Dangers of Delaying Emergency Services
When a plumbing or heating emergency strikes, the instinct might be to wait it out until morning or schedule something later. Here’s what’s at stake when urgent repairs are delayed:
- Structural water damage
- Mold growth
- Frozen pipes
- Carbon monoxide exposure
- Sewage exposure
The cost of a 24-hour plumber or emergency heating repair is almost always less than the cost of the damage that follows from waiting. When something goes wrong, call Boss Plumbing & Heating.
FAQs
When should I call an emergency plumber?
You should call an emergency plumber any time a plumbing problem is actively causing damage, cannot be controlled, or poses a safety risk that can’t wait until regular business hours. The clearest examples are a burst pipe with active water flow, a major leak you can’t stop, sewage backing up into your home, or a gas line issue near a plumbing appliance.
What counts as a heating emergency?
A heating emergency is any situation where your home has lost heat and the conditions are unsafe or will become unsafe without immediate repair. It also includes any situation where you smell gas near your furnace or boiler, when your carbon monoxide detector has activated, or when your heating system is making alarming noises and then shutting down. If you’re not sure whether your heating situation is urgent, err on the side of caution by reaching out to Boss Plumbing & Heating.
