Plumbing issues are never something to take lightly, but most of the time, when you are settled into a home that you have been living in for quite some time, you feel confident enough to wait for a normal plumber. When you have just moved in, however, you should take more precautions and consider using an emergency plumber instead. There are quite a few reasons why speed and availability are more useful for a new homeowner than for one who has lived in their building for a while, so here are just three reasons why you should be more vigilant.

Prevent More Damage

If you live in a newer home, then water spilling out for hours on end due to a damaged pipe or a leaky connection somewhere in your plumbing is not something you should really be putting up with. Your brand new house can suddenly change into a quagmire with stains on all the freshly painted walls and the beginnings of mold starting on your carpet. An emergency plumber ensures that your house still feels as fresh and new as when you first moved in and will help you isolate and eliminate the issue far more quickly than a traditional plumber.

Could Be More Serious Than You Think

If you have lived in a house for a while, you are more than likely familiar with all the little issues and problems your plumbing has thrown at you over the years and will know if something is serious or not as important. On the other hand, if you have only lived in the house for a short time, then it is impossible to know if the issue you are facing now is one that has more serious ramifications, which will need to be examined by a professional. Every second counts and an emergency plumber will get to you first.

Especially Important For Renters

If you do not own your new home and are renting then it is especially important that any and all plumbing issues are dealt with. Hesitating not only could increase the problem but could mean that you have to pay hundreds more in damage repair down the line. An emergency plumber will solve your situation quicker than anyone else and will provide a fair quote that is easy to explain to your landlord. Do not try to fix this on your own or hide the problem, as you will certainly make it worse.
