But, when sewage backs up into your home or a fresh water pipe bursts and threatens to flood your home in minutes, you need the help of an emergency plumber.

Common Emergency Plumbing Service
At Cleary Plumbing & Air, we’ve seen it all. Plumbing emergencies come in all shapes and sizes. But, most plumbing emergencies have to do with just two things. First, the threat of water flooding your home. Second, the threat of possible exposure to sewage. Some of the causes of flooding and sewage backups include:
- Burst pipes
- Sewer line damage
- Clogged drains
- Leaks from pipes, fixtures or water heaters
- Clogged and overflowing toilets
What makes these emergencies is that all of them have the potential to do extensive, costly damage to your home and expose you to harmful pathogens in sewage. Floods from burst pipes or leaks can damage floors, walls, and structural members of your home and make them susceptible to mold and bacteria growth if not stopped and dried up immediately. As for clogs, they don’t fix themselves. If you have slow-running drains, they will only continue to get worse until they are cleared.
How Clogs Affect Plumbing?
Clogs affect plumbing by preventing wastewater from being swept away quickly. Piping systems are designed to remove waste by calculating the flow of waste through a certain diameter of pipe. As grease, soap scum, hair, and other foreign matter build up on the walls of the pipe, it inhibits the ability of pipes to quickly carry waste away. As a result, waste moves slower through your pipes and clogs get worse.
At Cleary Plumbing & Air, we are a certified drain cleaning company that specializes in clogged drain repair. With the latest hydrojetting machinery, we can come out and fix any clogs. Hydro jetting also is important in prevention since it cleans the walls of your pipes. Cleaning the pipe walls prevents the slow build-up of grime that leads to worse clogs.

Signs You Need Water Heater Repairs
Often, homeowners don’t think about their water heaters until they demand attention. Signs that your water heater needs repairs include:
- No hot water
- Thumping sounds
- High utility bills
- Leaks
At Cleary Plumbing & Air, we specialize in hot water heater repair service. Many times we can restore your water heater to working conditions by changing the burner assembly or heating element, or simply flushing the tank. However, if your tank is older than 10, you’re probably looking at hot water tank replacement instead of repair.
Whether you stick with a traditional tanked water heater or are looking to add some performance and energy savings to your home with a tankless water heater installation, you can count on our plumbing contractors for help.
