Plumbing is an essential component of most properties, particularly domestic ones, as it ensures that everyday appliances can be used. Without secure plumbing, your home wouldn’t have functioning taps, toilets, baths, showers, washing machines, dishwashers and more! If installed correctly, everything should work as normal, but there are instances when water overflows.
There are a handful of reasons that could lead to this outcome, of which we will explain later, but what’s important is that you have a company to call upon 24/7. Here at No1 PHD, we offer a range of first-class services, and we should be your go-to when an overflows emergency occurs. To get hold of a member of our team in Guildford, call 01425 208031.
To enlist our Guildford emergency overflow plumbing service, one or more of your taps and appliances would be overflowing with water. In some cases, bathroom or kitchen sinks fall victim to this issue, as do toilets. Whichever section of your home or commercial property has the problem, our team of experts will be able to solve it.
If you are not well versed in the intricacies of plumbing, then it is unlikely that you will be able to identify the problem yourself, particularly if it is a gradual change. However, if a large object gets flushed down your toilet or there is a build up of food down your kitchen drain, then the issue may be more obvious. Overflows emergencies are generally caused by blockages within pipes, and the following items can lead to the clog:
Well firstly, there is something you can do! We understand that in an overflows emergency, you may be panicking, but before our professional arrives at your door, you can help the situation by shutting off the stopcock. This is the valve that is responsible for allowing water to run through the mains supply. By switching this off, you stop the flow of water which, in turn, reduces the damage. Keep in mind that here at No1 PHD, we also provide stopcock installation and repair should you require it.
Once we have arrived on your property, we will go right to the source of the problem and try to identify the issue. An underlying issue could be the cause, which may require some extensive work, but rest assured that our team are well equipped to handle this. If the problem is located deep within the pipe network, we may need to use a plumbing snake or drain camera to learn the extent of the damage.
Here at No1 PHD, we only use the highest quality tools and equipment to get the job done to a high standard. Once we have identified the problem and found a solution, we will explain the work that is involved and then get to work!
If we discover that the cause of your overflows emergency is more complex, we will have to arrange a time to return to your property to solve the problem. More often than not, our Guildford emergency overflow plumbing service is completed on site during our first visit. However, if extensive work needs to be carried out, we will return the next day with the relevant parts and equipment.
Rest assured that we will stabilise the area to make sure that your property can function as best it can during the interim. Depending on the issue at hand, we may need to work on your taps as well, and trust us when we say your home is in good hands. Our team is hugely experienced in tap repairs and installations, so you don’t have to worry about a thing.
