Top Ten Reasons Why You Need 24 Hour Emergency Plumbing and Handyman Services

Just this January, we were thinking about the best topic to publish for the start of 2019. As we were brainstorming for the most suitable post-opener this year, we thought, why not talk about the common problems that our customers face when they hire us?

For the past few years that we’ve been providing plumbing services here in Singapore, we noticed that the issues we deal with are not so different from each other. In fact, there are more or less only ten plumbing problems that homeowners usually hire our services for.

These issues are the common plumbing woes they experience, resulting to midnight calls to our hotline almost every day.

So in this post, we’re going to talk about the top ten reasons why customers call for our 24-hour plumbing and handyman services. These issues may seem too simple but when you are faced with them, you hardly know what to do.

Better be prepared by saving the number of a trusted company that offers plumbing and handyman services even in the wee hours of the night.

Broken Storage Water Heater

Would you believe it? Most of the midnight calls we receive from customers are about broken water heaters!

It seems that this is one of the top plumbing issue that most homeowners encounter in their bathrooms. We previously wrote about the reasons why water heaters break. But the problem is, even when you know what causes your water heater to break, you cannot solve it with your hands and even with some handyman tools.

You really need the assistance of professional plumbers to fix the wire, set the thermostat right, or replace a water heater that is totally worn out.

Bathroom Exhaust Fan Replacement

Another plumbing problem that we usually hear from customers is a broken exhaust fan.

We even receive chat messages on our Facebook page asking for a professional handyman to come to their house late in the night to replace their broken exhaust fan.

We’re not surprised at this because exhaust fans are usually left unnoticed when homeowners inspect their appliances and equipment. We can’t blame them because exhaust fans won’t show any sign of  broken parts until the damage has gone out of hand.

Living Room Additions

When you’re too busy at work, you need to hire someone to install shelves, white boards, and picture frames in the living room.

This is precisely the reason why we are offering handyman services. Oftentimes, we get enquiries for installation of living room additions and replacement of bedroom decorations. These tasks may be simple and less complicated than plumbing problems but they are better done with the assistance of a pro.

Broken Ceiling Fan

When ceiling fans get broken, it’s difficult to identify what went wrong. Even when you keep a handyman toolbox at home, it’s hard to just get any item from it and start removing screws from the fan. Homeowners know this so well that’s why they contact us when they need ceiling fan repairs.

Wall Painting

Every once in a while, you need to redesign your home and fix the worn out walls. The best way to do this is by repainting the whole thing.

It doesn’t come as a surprise to us that a number of homeowners get our services for home painting. We are usually hired to do interior home painting at the start of the year or before the year ends.

Toilet Bowl Replacement

A totally wrecked toilet bowl is a big problem. You can’t youtube your way into replacing this important fixture in the bathroom. Even when you see the manual and you watch a video of how to install a toilet bowl, this is such a huge and messy job that requires the expertise of a plumbing professional.

Our recommended plumber Singapore pros are equipped with the right tools and years of experience in the area of toilet bowl replacement. Contrary to what everyone thinks, the difficult part of this job lies in the removal of the old toilet bowl. Not everyone can do this the right way that’s why when a broken toilet bowl confronts you, you better grab the phone and call a trusted pro to help you.

Faucet Replacement

Most faucets these days are durable and long-lasting. The problem with homeowners is that they don’t remember when they last bought and installed this piece of the fixture in the sink. Thus, they are often caught off guard when their faucet breaks.

There are several reasons behind a broken faucet like a faulty valve, corrosion on the inner components, or pipe leaks. Sometimes, there’s a bigger problem with the whole plumbing structure of the house. These factors determine whether or not you only need a repair or a total replacement. Either way, you need a plumbing pro to identify the problem and apply the proper solution.

Light Replacement

When a major source of light in the house gets broken and it won’t get fixed by ordinary replacement, you can’t ignore it.

Most homeowners calling to us for light replacement encounter problems with the electrical wires connected to their lights. This kind of problem cannot be solved by simple light replacement but by the installation of new wires or by a complete rewiring of the ceiling. It’s hard to wait until the morning to solve this issue that’s why you need 24-hour handymen to help you.

Kitchen Sink Repair

When apple cider vinegar and lemons fail, you know you’re not facing an ordinary sink clog issue. These are the times when you need to hire a professional plumber to repair your kitchen sink.

Kitchen sink repair is another service that requires immediate attention that’s why our customers thank us for coming to their houses in the middle of the night to fix their sinks. Truly, there is no other way to solve this than by calling 24-hour plumbers for help.

Toilet Bowl Unclogging

What’s more irritating than a clogged sink? A clogged toilet bowl!

The job required for toilet unclogging is just so messy that no ordinary homeowner would want to solve it on his or her own. What’s even worse is when it happens to you in the middle of the night just when you’re about to sleep! Thanks to 24-hour plumbers, you won’t be hopeless when this happens to you.
