Plumbing emergencies include anything that may be a safety concern and needs to be address quickly. This includes flooding due to sewer back-ups, burst pipes, failed sump pumps, or water shut-off valve failures.
There are several signs you may have a gas leak in your home. The number one most common sign of a gas leak is the smell of sulfur or rotten eggs. Other common signs include a hissing or whistling sound, dead or dying plants in your home, higher gas utility bills, and physical symptoms of natural gas poisoning.
If you believe that you have a gas leak in your home, evacuate all pets and people from the premises immediately. Leave all doors and windows open to prevent creating an explosive concentration of gas in your home. Do not turn on any lights or make any phone calls from within the house as this may ignite the gas. Contact your utility company to report the gas leak and to have your gas turned off. A gas leak will need to be confirmed by a certified inspector such as our licensed and certified technicians at Anytime Rooter & Plumbing.
