It might be due to your damaged pipeline or it needs a professional check before it leads to further plumbing expenses.

Sewer Backup

Usually every household in Birmingham has two sewer lines, a common sewer line connecting your house to the main sewer line. This Sewer backup is caused due to dumping debris, food particles, chemicals, and objects, into the drain pipeline either through the toilet or sink. These particles create a blockage in the sewer line which makes your toilet bowl overflow, drain overflow with sewer wastes etc… One of the warning signs of Sewer pipeline leak or Sewer blockage is Bad Odor within or around your house.

As we mentioned above, dumping chemicals into the pipeline might react differently, when it mixes with other particles. Some households in Birmingham did face water flooding in the middle of the winter. It’s also caused due to sewer backup. It’s always better to call ESBAH emergency plumbers in such situations or even before, in case you have noticed warning signs of sewer backup.

Leaking Tap/Faucet

One of the most common plumbing emergency in Birmingham is leaking tap or faucet. It could be in the kitchen, bathroom, or a commonly used sink faucet. Tap leaks are caused by wear and tear from repeated use. When you hear a dripping sound or notice the faucet or taps leaking, the majority of you will try to close the tap tighter. The tighter you close the valve, the more likely the leak will cease, but in the worst-case scenario, the faucet or tap will break. 

To fix the tap, close the water supply valve to the specific pipeline. And inform ESBAH emergency plumbers in Birmingham to fix your leaking tap in no time.

Overflowing toilet

Overflowing toilets is one of the most common plumbing emergency in Birmingham households. It’s mostly caused due to dumping baby wipes, personal care products, and toys, etc.. To avoid toilet overflow, it’s better to fix the clogged toilet sooner using a plunger or drain auger. Otherwise, the clog within the toilet will lead to toilet overflow. Apart from the clog in the toilet, there is also another reason where sewer backup might be the cause of toilet overflow.

Do use plunger or drain auger without using any toilet cleaners to unclog the toilet, if clog still persists then do inform ESBAH emergency plumbers in Birmingham to fix your toilet clog and toilet overflow.
