Water spreading or sewage backing up?

Roanoke plumbing problems and how they get fixed
Find what's happening at your place.
Water won't stop
A burst or split pipe can flood a room in minutes. Shut off the main water valve first, then call. A plumber can find the break and repair or replace the section. Emergency plumber in Roanoke
Sewage coming up the floor drain
That usually means a blocked main sewer line, often roots or a broken section of old pipe. Stop running water and call. A plumber clears the line and runs a camera to see why. Sewer line repair
Sink, tub or toilet backed up
One slow drain is usually a local clog. Several at once points to the main line. A plumber snakes or jets the drain so it flows again. Drain cleaning
No hot water
On an electric heater it's often a tripped breaker or a failed element; on gas, the pilot. Water around the base usually means the tank is done. A plumber repairs it or fits a new one. Water heater repair
Water bill suddenly jumped
A hidden leak is the usual cause: a running toilet, a line under the slab, or the pipe from the meter. A plumber finds it without tearing up more than they need to. Leak detection
Toilet running or disposal humming
A worn flapper or fill valve keeps toilets running. A humming disposal is usually jammed. Both are quick fixes for a plumber. Plumbing repairs
Low pressure or no water from the well
Often the pressure switch, pressure tank or pump. Check the breaker, then call for a well pump pro. Well pump repair
Smell gas?
Leave the building now and call 911 or your gas utility from outside. Once it's safe, a licensed plumber can repair the gas line. Gas line repair

Roanoke plumbers who know older homes and cold snaps
Many homes in Old Southwest, Raleigh Court, Grandin and Wasena were built before World War II, and older homes often still have galvanized supply pipes and cast-iron or clay drain lines.
That's why slow drains, rusty water and low pressure come up so often. Valley winters bring hard freezes too, so pipes in crawlspaces and outside walls are worth protecting before the first cold night. See plumbing maintenance and winterizing.
Who to call for what
If the problem is on the street side of your water meter, call the utility. If it's on your side, from the meter into the house, call a plumber.
