Plumbing emergencies are a fact of life‚ in most cases repair can be done within a reasonable amount of time. There are two predictable reasons causing plumbing emergency; first is blockage to from the property to the main sewer lines and the second is damage to the underground pipes. Internal properties emergencies can happen when grease is poured down the kitchen sink‚ causing a build up inside of the pipes preventing water flow‚ creating a block. Toilets are notorious for getting blocked when
