Peeling or bubbling paint, light brown water rings, and sagging ceilings are all signs that you have a ceiling leak.

If you’ve noticed these signs, the worst thing you can do is to wait. Plumbing & Heating Heroes is a reputable and trustworthy company with 24/7 emergency leak repair services. With lots of experience in fixing household leaks, we’ve put together some information you should know down below. Read on to learn about your possible ceiling or basement leak and how you can fix it.

Basement and Ceiling Leaks Causes & Damage

Notice a leak in the ceiling or basement? Don’t delay in contacting professional plumbers like Plumbing & Heating Heroes for our emergency leak repair services. Basement leaks can cause extreme structural damage to drywall, baseboards, and flooring if left too long—which can rack up the costs of renovations and construction. Basement leaks are potentially the most damaging leak of the two, so never delay in getting help. In all cases, preventing further damage is critical. If you notice the ceiling leaking above the upstairs bathroom, immediately bar access after cutting off the water supply to the appliances in that area. Open up faucets and drains to allow any water that can move to do so, and stop using the appliances that are leaking.

Who to Call for Emergency Leaks

Call 416-893-5717 if you are experiencing any types of leaks. We will send an expert plumber to come evaluate the damage within the hour. Plumbing & Heating Heroes doesn’t give inflated costs for minor repairs: trust us to give honest diagnoses with upfront pricing. We understand that hiring a plumber isn’t always in the budget, which is why we aim to keep our prices affordable. Let us come and diagnose the problem and build a range of appropriate solutions within your price range so that we can move forward with your chosen plan and fix your home.

Prevent Future Leaks

Once we’ve come to deal with your current leak, there are a few steps you can take so that this doesn’t happen again in the near future. Follow these two tips:

1. Never use drain-clearing liquids, as these can damage joints and piping glue, leading to leaks.
2. When replacing a toilet or faucet, rely on a certified technician to install it. Improper installation can lead to leaks that can damage ceilings, drywall, and more.

Abiding by these steps should help to reduce the number of leaks you experience in your home. Should there be any underlying cause which is not fixed by the above tips, our technicians will do everything they can to ensure we locate and fix the problem.
