What Do I Do After a Plumbing Emergency?

Your plumbing technicians at Western Rooter & Plumbing will repair your plumbing system and replace any pipes as necessary. Once the problem has been solved, it’s important to remove any water from the affected area. If there has been flooding, get rid of excess water with a pool pump, a wet/dry vaccum, or a mop and bucket. Remove any soaked or water damaged items once excess water has been removed. If the items can be salvaged, place them in a dry and well-ventilated area where they can dry out. It’s important to remove any excess water from your home as soon as possible because mold can begin growing within just 48 hours.
