No one likes an emergency, but sometimes, it’s unavoidable. What you can do is take precautions and exercise caution to reduce the risk of an emergency. The same is true for plumbing too.

You may be dealing with a dripping faucet or clogged pipe, or low water pressure; even worse, you might not even know where the problem lies.

Situations arise where only emergency plumbing can be a solution, but you can take measures that save you from getting to that point, or rather, measures that limit the risk as much as possible. Listed below are two such steps.

Where Are the Shut-Off Valves?

You should know where the location of the shut-off valves is. We can’t stress how important it is to know this because it saves you many plumbing woes.

The main valve is probably inside the house, but it can be outside in particular cases. Familiarize yourself with the sewer line access points should there ever be a need for you to conduct regular cleanouts.

Where Are the Pipes?

We understand if you intend to drill holesor nails into your floors, ceilings, or walls, perhaps to hang pictures and such, but how are you so sure there aren’t pipes behind where you intend to pound the nails?

Ascertain there aren’t any drainage pipes, so you don’t accidentally bore holes into them too. A simple stud finder can help you locate the pipes in your home. Or, if you’re so inclined, purchase an endoscopic camera and snake it into the walls to have a better idea of what’s behind your work area.

Despite all your efforts, what if emergency plumbing becomes a necessity? Because no matter how conscientious you are about making sure your plumbing is faultless, some things just can’t be helped. An emergency may arise when you least expect it. What do you do to solve this problem?
