Toilets
In North America the Coriolis Effect makes your toilets use 1.6 gallons of water to spin water clock-wise to remove waste from your house and take it to your local waste treatment plant. This has been happening for almost 3000 years when the Egyptians first used a plumbing system. It is imperative that these devices work, but what do we do when they break?
Sewage backup from the municipal or septic system can really stink. A break in your pipe, a septic clog, can cause waste water to enter your home and cause all sorts of trouble. No matter the cause, there are property considerations as well as health concerns. When you have these problems, it is always most important to address them immediately.

Pipes
Winter time is when pipes will bust and break the most due to cold temperatures. When water freezes it expands, exceeding the diameter of the pipe and causes the pipe to break/bust.
If a pipe does break in your home or business, water damage can occur, a quick response is needed. If possible shut off the water. Sometimes the shut off valve is under a metal plate in the front yard. If it is a sewage problem, the best course is to stay away and call the professionals.
