Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I have sewage backing up into my home?
Sewage backups pose a serious risk to your health and home. That’s why it’s vital to call a professional plumber quickly to ensure your wastewater doesn’t contaminate your living space.
What should I do if one of my pipes bursts?
A burst pipe means it’s time to call for emergency plumbing services. However, there are things you can do before we arrive to minimize damage. This includes turning off your water main, draining your faucets, and mopping excess water.
Will I speak to someone when I call after hours?
Yes. At Russo Bros., we have an operator on staff 24 hours a day to answer your calls and start getting an emergency plumber dispatched to your home.
How do you shut off a water heater in an emergency?
For gas water heaters, turn the thermostat dial to the off position. If you have an electric water heater, switch the breaker off. Next, turn the water shut-off valve in the clockwise direction as far as it will go.
If you need to drain your water heater, attach a hose to the drain valve to remove the water. If you can, cut the power to your water heater and wait a few hours before draining it because the water will likely be extremely hot. Finally, open the relief valve by pulling it out or up, depending on your water heater’s design.
Can a leaking water heater burst?
Leaking can be a sign of too much pressure within the tank. If the tank is compromised or the pressure rises above capacity, your tank can burst.
When you see water heater leaks, you should schedule emergency service without delay. While rare, explosions can and do occur. When they happen, they can cause serious injuries and considerable property damage.
What causes water heaters to stop working?
Many things can cause your water heater to malfunction and fail:
- Sediment can build up within the tank.
- Anode rods can wear down, which allows corrosion to eat at the tank.
- T&P valves can fail.
- Pilot lights can be dirty or extinguished.
- Electrical wires can loosen and fray.
- Gas and water line connections can loosen or become kinked.
- Seals can leak.
- And more
Because of the wide range of potential failures, it’s always best to have a licensed and insured plumber inspect and diagnose the problem with your system when malfunctions occur.
