Even for the handiest of do-it-yourselfers, there will come a time when a plumbing issue will get the best of you and you will wind up calling an emergency plumber in Los Angeles. So, you better have the number for American Drain Co handy.

Many homeowners think that most drain issues are easy to fix. Of course, they would be wrong. While anyone with a set of tools and basic plumbing knowledge can fix some problems, there are times when you need to leave the task to an expert.

It is also important to know that if you don’t know how to fix a problem, it’s a good idea to call a plumber. You don’t want to risk damage that will be costly to fix. Here are a few examples of when you really need to call a plumber.

SLOW OR CLOGGED DRAINS

If the bottle of Drano doesn’t solve your issue and your arms are getting tired of plunging, it’s time to throw the towel in and call your plumber. We will clean your drain the right way and have that debris removed so your drain is free and clear and we prevent the problem from recurring.

LEAKY PIPES

Repairing or replacing leaking pipes is a messy job and should be handled by someone who knows what they are doing. Unless, of course, you enjoy squeezing into small places and lying in puddles of water to reach the leaks.

FLOODING

While you can spend a day or two attempting to unclog a drain, flooding is a problem that needs to be dealt with right away. Now, the cause of flooding could be something rather simple, like a clogged drain for example, but in the meantime, all that water is wreaking havoc in your home and causing some serious damage if left unchecked.

LOW WATER PRESSURE

The cause for a weak stream in your shower isn’t always easy to pinpoint. The reason your water pressure is low could be an obstructed pipe or it could be a city issue that has nothing to do with your plumbing. Either way, you should be calling a plumber for help. The problem could be in any of the pipes that run through your home. It could take you a long time to figure the problem out.

NO HOT WATER

If you have no hot water, the likely culprit is your water heater. Now, your water heater could have any number of issues causing it not to properly work. The problem is that water heaters operate using gas and electric systems, which means if you make a mistake, it could wind up pretty bad. The last thing you want is to sustain an injury or damage your home because you didn’t know what you were doing.

Play it safe and call your plumber instead.

If you are having issues with your plumbing and aren’t sure if it is something you can fix, call American Drain Co and help is in the way.
