What Are Some Signs I Need an Emergency Plumber?
Some of the most common plumbing emergencies include frozen pipes, sump pump failure, clogged drains, and overflowing toilets. The Mid-Atlantic region is known for unpredictable winters that often bring frigid temperatures, and this creates the perfect environment for frozen pipes.
Freezing temperatures can cause the water in your pipes to freeze up and hinder water flow. In some cases, your pipes may bulge, which increases their risk of bursting. Sump pump failure is another urgent matter, as a malfunctioning sump pump can lead to flooding. Clogged drains and overflowing toilets can also cause flooding when not addressed as soon as possible. While emergency plumbing issues can definitely be frustrating, the good news is that Beltway Air Conditioning, Heating & Plumbing is available 24/7 for assistance.

- Dripping or rushing water sounds in pipes behind walls
- Overflowing toilets
- Sewage back-up in sinks and tubs
- Clogged drains
When your plumbing pipes become blocked due to trapped food, kitchen grease, hard water build-up, or tree roots, it can prevent water from flowing freely through the system. Over time, this can cause wastewater to work its way back up into your pipes and out of your drains. The most common sign of sewage backup is standing water in your sink or tub that may contain dirt, leaves, food scraps, and human waste. If you notice any signs of sewage backup, contact the team at Beltway Air Conditioning, Heating & Plumbing right away.
