You might be surprised to know that some of the most basic, innocuous items can bring your toilet system to a standstill. In fact, because of the recent COVID-19 crisis and ongoing toilet paper shortages, more and more households have been using toilet paper alternatives such as regular tissues for their sanitary needs. Unfortunately, this can cause massive problems for your water pipes because this type of paper doesn’t break down properly when it enters your toilet system. This is just one of the many reasons why you should always have an emergency plumber on speed dial, and this article is going to outline a few more!

 

Peace of mind

One of the main reasons why you need an emergency plumber is the peace of mind. When disaster strikes, you want to know that you have someone you can call for immediate assistance. These problems can arise any time of the day, day or night. While a regular provider is constrained to more conventional hours, an emergency plumber business can provide their assistance 24/7. Knowing that you have someone who can be there within the hour is peace of mind you want as a homeowner or when you are renting as a tenant.

 

Instant solutions

In addition, an emergency plumber has the capacity to provide instant solutions to any problem you bring to them. For example, if your toilet is flooding or you have a burst pipe in your kitchen, you need the problem fixed promptly before more severe consequences ensue. A flooded home can set you back thousands of dollars in restoration bills (like having your floors/carpet replaced, damaged furniture and electronics, etc.) With the help of an emergency plumber, you’ll have access to immediate services that could save you a lot of money.

 

Extensive expertise

Another benefit of hiring an emergency plumber is the level of expertise they bring to the table. The nature of their work ensures that they have an extensive level of experience and knowledge when it comes to resolving your carpentry issues. No matter how complicated, convoluted or niche your issue might be, a 24/7 tradesman will be able to get the job done. The last thing you want is a woefully unqualified and inexperienced tradie handling your needs. At the end of the day, shoddy work will usually end up costing you more money, than hiring a slightly more expensive tradie that is guaranteed to get the job done properly.

 

Permanent results

Hiring an all-hours tradie is also beneficial because they’ll achieve permanent results. Some tradies will opt for a quick, short-term fix, which doesn’t actually solve the problem, it merely staves off the inevitable. However, a 24/7 operator is more likely to understand the heart of the problem and devise a more permanent solution. Not only will this save you a lot of time and stress in the future, but it will also save you a fair bit of money because you won’t have to make additional consultations later on.

 

Customer focus

Finally, an emergency plumber is a great addition to your phone’s contacts because their focus is always you – the customer. A 24/7 tradie’s core purpose is to solve potentially serious carpentry problems with rapid execution and finesse. Because of this, your needs are their commands.

So, there are clearly many great reasons why you should always have the contact details of an emergency plumber lying around your home. As a piece of advice, keep the details stored in your phone so you never lose them (and simply transfer the sim of your old phone over to your new phone when you change, that way you won’t lose your contacts).
