Generally, you should call an emergency plumber in Yorkton when waiting could cause significant damage to your home, create a health or safety concern, or leave you without an essential service.
​
That includes things like:
-
Burst or badly leaking pipes
-
Sewer backups
-
Significant basement flooding
-
Failed sump pumps during heavy rain
-
Water leaking near electrical equipment
-
Major water heater leaks
-
Plumbing problems that require shutting off water to your entire home​​
​​
If you're standing there wondering, "Can this wait?" and the amount of water is actively increasing, that's usually your answer.
Sewer Back Up
If sewage is backing up into a toilet, tub, shower or floor drain, stop using the plumbing in the home and call for professional help. This isn't the time to keep flushing to "see what happens."
Burst Pipe
A burst pipe can send a surprising amount of water into a home in a short period of time. Even a smaller leak hidden behind a wall or ceiling can damage drywall, flooring, insulation and cabinetry before you realize how far it has travelled.
Flooded Basement / Sump Pump Failure
Heavy rain, groundwater and a failed sump pump can turn a perfectly normal basement into an indoor wading pool remarkably quickly.
​
If your sump pump has stopped working while water is entering your basement, call for help right away.
​
And if the water has reached your furnace, water heater or other mechanical equipment, don't assume everything will be fine once it dries.
Flooded Furnace / Water Heater
Water heaters deserve particular attention after basement flooding because important components are often located close to floor level. If floodwater has reached those components, simply drying the outside of the tank isn't enough to determine whether the system is safe.
​
The age and existing condition of the water heater matter too. Putting significant money into an older, flood-damaged unit may make considerably less sense than replacing it. Have it assessed.
