How Do I Know If I Should Contact an Emergency Plumber?
Plumbing emergencies usually cause visible issues such as flooding, backed-up drains, or a complete lack of hot water. For example, flooding can be due to a number of plumbing problems that include burst pipes, clogged drains, or malfunctioning hot water appliances.
Backed-up drains can be due to blockages near the drain opening, or there may be a deeper blockage in an underground pipe or sewer line. All of these scenarios can quickly become plumbing emergencies, so you’ll definitely want to call in a professional. At Beltway Air Conditioning, Heating & Plumbing, we’re available 24/7, and you can rest assured our expert plumbers will arrive promptly and get right to work.

If you have sewage backup in your sinks, toilets, or tubs, it may be due to a tree root invasion. Tree roots are often considered plumbing emergencies, as they can affect your entire plumbing system. Tree roots are attracted to moisture, which means underground pipes that contain small holes or cracks are at risk.
When your pipes leak small amounts of water, the tree roots naturally move towards the moisture. Once inside your pipes, the roots can grow and expand, leading to serious plumbing issues. At Beltway Air Conditioning, Heating & Plumbing, we offer emergency drain cleaning services to eliminate tree roots from your drainage system and get your plumbing running smoothly.
