Plumbing emergencies can happen at any time, most of the time when you least expect it, and without any warning signs at all. Knowing what to do as soon as plumbing emergency arises can lessen the damage that can be done do your home and plumbing system. There are plumbers who are available 24/7, which is a good thing. However, even when there are plumbers around to save the day, you should still know how to react to an emergency, since you are the first person present to witness the emergency. If you have recently move to a new home, make sure that you know where the main water shut off control is located in your house. During plumbing emergencies, it's important that you turn off water through this control, to avoid water damage in your home. This is particularly important if your plumbing problem is a warm water leak. There is a tendency for the draining of the hot water tank, since the warm water is flowing out. The heat exchanger can be burned, because of the drying out of the hot water tank. If this incident happens and you are able to immediately turn of the main water supply, you can minimize the damage, as well as prevent the heat exchanger from burning. One of the most common problems at home is the spilling over of toilets. When this happens, the first aid action you need to do is turn the faucet on at the nearest bath or sink. This will slow down the overflow. You should also turn off the main water supply at the back of the toilet, near the ground. To remove whatever's causing the blockage and overflow on your toilet, you should use a plunger. Pump the plunger in a speedy manner to unclog your toilet drain. On the other hand, a faucet that's leaky should be dealt with as soon as you notice the problem, so that your water bill will not get bigger. Although this type of plumbing problem is not too serious, it can be irritating when you constantly hear the dripping sound.
