Septic Tank Back-Up and Overflow
Not every household has a septic tank. However, those that do must look out for septic tan backups and overflow. If your septic tank begins to overflow, contact an emergency plumbing service immediately. Septic tank overflow and backup is a serious plumbing system malfunction that must have attention hastily. The damage from this can be extensive and the conditions this creates are extremely unsanitary.

If you live in a rural or even suburban community, you may have a septic tank. If you have a septic tank you should be paying attention to signs or signals that indicate your septic tank is malfunctioning.
The signs your septic tank may overflow include slow draining drains, wastewater in the yard, waste material backing up in toilets and drains, as well as unusual plants growing around the septic tank mound.

Water Heater Tank Leak
The water heater is an extremely important appliance that typically goes unnoticed unless something is wrong. Water heaters can typically be found in the basement, garage, and sometimes even attic of a property. These appliances typically last an average of 9 to 12 years. Water heaters can last a lot longer with the proper maintenance and care. If your water heater malfunctions, contact an emergency plumbing service for urgent repair. Your water heater would also really benefit from preventive maintenance efforts and prevent potential serious water heater malfunctions from occurring.
A water heater tank leak can happen at the most inconvenient of times. When a water heater tank leak occurs, you will either have to shut off the stream of water to the water heater or cut off the entire stream of water to the house. This is an important step because your water heater tank will continuously try to fill up with water and cause flooding. This can lead to extensive and costly damages, as well as mold and bacterial growth. If your water heater tank is leaking, contact an emergency plumber right away. The longer you wait, the longer you will have to suffer without hot water or water in general.
The best way to care for water heater tank leaks is to prevent them from occurring in the first place. You can prevent water heater tank leaks by acquiring the services of a preventive maintenance plumber. Water heater tanks require regular service and are typically flushed on your regular preventive maintenance plumber service visits. The flushing of the water heater tank can prevent unnecessary occurrences of water heater tank leaks, by removing all of the built-up sediment your hot water will be cleaner, and your water tank will be less likely to spring a leak.
Corroded Pipes and fixtures – emergency plumbing
