For many homeowners in our area, anything that goes wrong with a plumbing system is considered an emergency. We rely on these systems so much and so often that even just a minor hiccup can cause some serious delays in our lifestyles. But classifying every toilet clog or slow drain as an emergency might start to cause problems when you encounter something that truly is a serious emergency. That’s especially true when you’re preparing to call for 24-hour plumbers in St. Petersburg.
Don’t get us wrong, a drain clog on Thanksgiving when you’re making dinner for the whole family is definitely an emergency. But we’d argue that there’s a big difference between that and a drain clog that’s been years in the making, fully clogging up on a Tuesday after work.
