Plumbers: common questions

What counts as a plumbing emergency?

A burst pipe, a sewage backup, no water at all, or a leak you can't stop with the shut-off valve. Turn off the main water valve first, then call a plumber — most emergencies get worse (and pricier) by the hour.

Should I repair or replace my water heater?

Tank water heaters last about 8–12 years. If yours is older than that, leaking from the tank, or needs a repair costing more than half the price of a new one, replacement is usually the better value.
