There are many times when you can do-it-yourself when it comes to your home plumbing. However, when plumbing issues reach an emergency level, sometimes it's best to call the 24 hours plumbing experts. Some emergency plumbing issues that require professional attentionin Newcastle & Lake Macquarie Suburbs include but not limited to:

* Check Outdoors

You should check your water spigots first if you see any signs of dripping even when the faucet is turned off completely. It's possible you have an internal leak, possibly caused by exposure to freezing temperatures during winter months. This can be a serious issue because the supply pipe that leads to the hose bib may have also suffered damage, and it could be leaking into your wall or basement, leading to water damage, mould, and other problems.

* Freezing Showers

A cold shower is often the result of an issue with your hot water heater. Sometimes, the solution can be as easy as checking the breaker box on your electric or gas heater. However, if you hear rattling noises, and the issues aren't resolved with the simple flip of a switch, call the plumbing professionals.

* Major Flooding

Whether the flooding is the result of a water heater, sewer backup or a clogged toilet any of these can result in an immediate water emergency requiring prompt service. From sump pumps that aren't working properly to plumbing fixture failures, many of Newcastle plumbing service NSW provider can help you with water cleanup, and restoration services to quickly get you on the road to repair.

* Wet Yard

If you are noticing small wet spots scattered throughout your yard, this indicates that your main water supply line is probably leaking onto your lawn. A foul smell indicates a leak in your sewer line. Situations like these are best left to the professionals as your water, and sewer lines may need major repairs or even full replacement.
