A burst pipe requires immediate action. First, shut off the water supply at the main valve to prevent further flooding. Next, the electricity in the affected area should be turned off to avoid the risk of electrocution. Once these steps are taken, call a 24-hour plumbing company in your area.

Toilets can overflow for various reasons, from clogs to faulty valves. If your toilet starts overflowing, remain calm. Locate the valve behind the toilet and turn it clockwise to stop the water flow. Clean up any spilled water to prevent damage, then contact a plumber to address the underlying issue and perform any plumbing repairs.

A running toilet is more than just an annoyance — in our experience, it can waste hundreds of gallons of water. Typically, this problem is due to a stuck handle or a faulty flapper that doesn't close properly. You can try lubricating or tightening the handle, but if the problem persists, consider replacing the flapper or contacting a plumbing company for a more permanent solution.

A slow-draining tub can be frustrating. It's often caused by hair, soap, scum, or debris. You might be able to fix the clog using a drain snake, which can reach deeper blockages. However, if the clog is too far down the line, you may need professional drain cleaning and repair. Persistent clogs might indicate a more significant issue that requires the attention of an expert plumbing company.

If your dishwasher won't drain, it could be due to a clog or issues with the strainer basket. Before calling a plumber, check for blockages in the drain hose or clean out the strainer basket. If these steps don't work, the problem may be more complex and require professional plumbing repairs.
