What should I do in case of a burst pipe?
If you experience a burst pipe, immediately locate and turn off the main water supply to prevent further water damage. Then, turn off electrical appliances near the affected area to avoid potential electrocution. Contact an emergency plumber right away to assess and repair the damage. Additionally, try to contain the water using buckets, towels, or a wet/dry vacuum.
Are emergency plumbing services more expensive than regular services?

What preparations can I make to prevent plumbing emergencies?
Preventing plumbing emergencies involves regular maintenance and inspections. Ensure your pipes are insulated to prevent freezing in cold weather. Avoid pouring grease or solids down drains, and use drain screens to catch debris. Regularly inspect and maintain water heaters and replace old or worn-out pipes and fixtures. Scheduling annual plumbing inspections can help identify and address potential issues before they escalate.
