Business and homeowners alike live stressful, busy lives full of commitment and responsibility. The one thing that they both fear is a major plumbing issue. Having emergency plumbing services in Ithaca from the Drain Brain,brings peace of mind and relief to many people faced with the potential disaster a plumbing problem can entail.
Issues with your water carrying pipes and disposal system can arise for many reasons. Sometimes old pipes and soldered joints wear out and leak causing water damage or a full out pipe break pouring water into the surround area. Sinks and toilets clog due to material being flushed or washed down the drain that clog the smaller pipes and cause a sluggish drainage or an out right back up into the sink, bathtub, or toilet.
Then there are septic system issues that require the expert services of the Drain Brain septic services in Tompkins County to mitigate damages as quickly as possible. This is why emergency plumbing services in Ithaca exist to help lessen the damage, repair the broken piping, and put your water system back on line.
Along with the typical problems with interior pipes which could result in a need for the Drain Brain’s emergency plumbing services in Ithaca, your septic system is an integral part of your entire water drainage units.
Septic tanks and the pipes leading into and out of them can become clogged by material that is not biodegradable or because the grease traps are full, the grease has coagulated around the pipe entrance and captured waste materials, thus clogging the entrance.
The cold of winter brings on other problems as well, like the major delivery pipes freezing due to the excessive cold. This can generally be remedied by warming the pipes (your Ithaca Septic Services knows how to do this without causing damage. Do not attempt yourself) and allowing the waste water to again flow.
In harsh winter climates remember to NOT plow, shovel or otherwise remove the insulating snow cover from the septic tank or the entrance and exit pipes. Most systems are barely 18 inches underground. Frost can reach 2 feet or more in severe climates. Uncovering the ground or removing the snow cover which acts as insulation puts your septic system at extreme risk for freezing.
Septic systems also can become full and overflow back into the interior pipes. If you encounter clogged pipes, water backup into the sink or tub, toilets not flushing…when all these appear to happen at the same time, the most likely culprit is the septic tank or piping.
The Drain Brain provides septic services in Ithaca along with 24 hour emergency plumbing services to mitigate damages and get your system 
back up and running. Don’t let a small water leak issue become a major concern. Call The Drain Brain immediately to have the issue evaluated and repaired.
Protecting your home or business from significant water damage is an important part of home maintenance. Most insurance policies will not cover water damage resulting from faulty or poor maintenance, and the pipes are not covered if they break (so all repairs and labor for plumbing is your responsibility).
Addressing plumbing issues before they become disastrous is the best way to go. Call your local plumber in Tompkins County for assistance. Don’t forget that The Drain Brain offers emergency plumbing services in Ithaca and can be at your property anytime of the day or night.
