Common Holiday Plumbing Problems and When to Call an Emergency Plumber
1. Kitchen & Bathroom Sink Clogs
Heavy holiday cooking and extra handwashing place additional strain on your plumbing system.
Prevent sink clogs by avoiding:
- Pouring grease, oils, or food scraps down kitchen drains
- Forcing large food chunks into the disposal
- Allowing hair, soap buildup, and fabric fibers to collect in bathroom drains
A sink plunger may clear minor blockages. If it doesn't, your sink may have deeper clogged drains requiring professional drain cleaning.
If the sink remains blocked, Estes' licensed technicians can diagnose the issue and restore your water flow quickly.
2. Toilet Clogs & Overflowing Toilets
A holiday crowd increases the risk of overflowing toilets and sewer backups.
To avoid trouble, flush only:
- Biodegradable toilet paper
- Human waste
Do not flush:
- Paper towels
- Tissues
- Feminine hygiene products
- Baby wipes
- "Flushable" wipes (they often don't break down in sewer lines)
If a clog develops, use a toilet plunger first. For more stubborn blockages, an Estes emergency plumber can use a professional auger ("snake") to clear the issue and prevent water damage.

3. Sudden Cold Water From Your Hot Water Faucet
If guests are coming and your water heater can't keep up, you may suddenly experience cold water when you need hot water most.
Signs of water heater failure include:
- No hot water
- Sudden temperature swings
- Leaks near the tank
- Reduced water flow
Estes Services provides rapid repair for traditional and tankless water heater systems. If your unit is aging or inefficient, upgrading may be more economical long-term—especially if you're researching the cost of a tankless water heater.
We offer repair, replacement, and installation for all water heater types.
