Sudden leaks, sewer smells, or no hot water? Here’s how to spot emergencies early and protect your home in Cobb, Cherokee, and Fulton counties. Sundial Plumbing has proudly served families across Atlanta, Kennesaw, Roswell, and the surrounding metro area since 1945.
Why Acting Fast Matters in a Plumbing Emergency
The 10 Most Common Warning Signs
1. Sudden Loss of Water Pressure
A dramatic drop may indicate a major leak or burst pipe.
2. Burst Pipes or Visible Water Damage
Pooling on floors, walls, or ceilings is a red flag. Shut off the main valve and request service immediately.
3. No Hot Water
A failed heater can be dangerous. See our Water Heater Services for fast repair or replacement.
4. Overflowing Toilets or Drains
May indicate a severe clog or sewer main backup.
5. Unusual Water Color or Odor
Rusty or foul-smelling water can signal corrosion or contamination.
6. Water Pooling Around Fixtures
Moisture around sinks, tubs, or toilets often worsens quickly.
7. Gurgling Sounds in Pipes
Air in lines or developing blockages often create gurgling after flushing/draining.
8. Persistent Sewer Smells
Strong odors indoors can indicate a broken trap, venting issue, or sewer line problem.
9. Water Heater Leaks
Even small leaks can damage floors and subfloors. We install reliable
Rinnai, Rheem, and Bradford White systems.
10. Sudden Spike in Your Water Bill
An unexplained increase often means a hidden leak.
