**Not Every Plumbing Problem Is the Same Job**

Plenty of people think every plumbing problem is one kind of job. In practice, there are three main ones. Naming yours helps the first conversation go faster.

Emergency plumbing covers burst pipes, active leaks, overflowing fixtures and a water heater that has let go. Sewer line repair is for the big pipe that carries waste out of the house. Think gurgling drains, sewage smells and soggy spots in the yard. Drain cleaning deals with a blocked pipe in a sink, tub or floor drain before it turns into a backup.

Colonial and split-level homes, and rowhouses in older areas, often have aging cast-iron or galvanized pipes. Humid summers, nor'easters and icy winters put those pipes under stress.

Whichever service fits, the rule is the same: document first, then ask. Apparentlyautomatic Plumbing is a referral service. It connects you with independent local providers. They do the work, and they set their own prices and availability.
