Your plumbing system is arguably one of the most critical components in your home. A properly working plumbing system keeps fresh-water flowing throughout the house and safely redirects waste and sewage from the house. The average household will use the plumbing system more than frequently. Problems tend to pop up once in a while unexpectedly. Some of these problems won’t go away even after applying some of your basic hacks. So, what do you do during such a plumbing emergency? Will your contracted plumber come to your rescue?

What are the plumbing service contracts?

These are agreements between a homeowner and a plumbing company that outline regulations to follow during their business relationship, including plumbing emergencies. They are designed to offer customers the comfort and support needed whenever there is a plumbing emergency. You will always be at peace in the event your plumbing system begins to misbehave.

Types of plumbing emergencies

Most contracts identify plumbing emergencies as follows:

  • Plumbing failure that results in interior flooding.
  • Dry taps, shower-heads and toilet facilities in parts or the entire home.
  • Discolored or smelly water that endangers the safety and health of house occupants.
  • Appliance failure that could trigger secondary damages to the house.

If you notice any of the following problems, you are required to call the plumbing company immediately.

What is the purpose behind plumbing contracts?

We all know that preventive measures are better than curative measures. Contracts ensure that there is ongoing preventative maintenance to reduce the probabilities of avoidable damages. If a plumbing system is clean and in mint condition, emergency plumbing services are reduced significantly.

Does a contract protect you in case of a plumbing emergency?

Contracts differ depending on a homeowner’s needs and desires. If your contract covers emergencies, the plumbing system is required to deliver their services as per the terms and conditions outlined. The agreement should include circumstances that will be considered as emergencies. Anything that doesn’t fall within the definition of a plumbing emergency may demand separate terms and conditions. Be sure to understand the terms in your agreement before signing the contract with your plumber.

Are contracts the right choice for you?

Contracts include frequent plumbing inspections that detect even the smallest problems and rectifies them before they grow into expensive and complex issues in the future. Most contracts require you to pay an annual maintenance and inspection fee. In the long run, it saves your money by avoiding damages. Also, in case of a plumbing emergency, the contract covers your costs.
