Whether you have determined that replacing a toilet is your thing, or your hot water heater dies in the middle of the night, don't panic. Qualified Jacksonville plumbing help is ready and waiting to hear from you.
Finding a good plumber is like annoying a fine wine. He might be a bit pricey, but if he gets the job done when you want it done, returns phones calls, and doesn't cause any damage while he's there, you've struck gold.
Plumbers usually have their cell phone numbers or beepers listed in their ads and on their websites. Why? Because most of the calls they receive are emergency problems. Either you wanted to try putting in a new toilet by yourself and found out too late that home repair is not your forte, or the pipes burst in a snow storm. Whatever your emergency is, there's a plumber ready to head on over to clean up after you. If you need help in the middle of the night, be prepared to pay an extra service charge.
However, if you are really having an emergency, you don't have much choice. If your toilet has been overflowing for hours, you do need to get a plumber there quickly in order to prevent further damage to your floor.
If you happen to find out that your pipes burst in one of the infrequent freezing spells in Jacksonville, make sure you hire a plumber who has had experience in this area. Even though Jacksonville is in Florida, it's at the northern tip, and does experience "real" winter weather including snow flurries and frost. Many Florida plumbers have no practical experience in this area. Once they get out of school, they rarely get a chance to experience real frozen pipes. If you find a plumber who doesn't know what he's doing, he'll cause more damage.
When he arrives, tell him exactly why you called. Don't lie to him. It doesn't matter who or what caused the problem, but the sooner he knows what happened, the sooner he can fix it. He's heard every excuse in the book. Don't waste his time as he searches for the real problem. You'll end up paying!
As long as he's there, it's a good idea to ask him to inspect other fixtures, etc., to see if he can spot any problems just waiting to happen. He will be able to check out your hot water heater and even gaskets in your toilet and let you know what might be causing problems soon. - 30214
