What emergency plumbing Virginia do you have? I recall hearing a comic speaking about the most terrible feeling in one’s life. It is being at the home of someone you just met and using their bathroom. You go through your steps in there and then flush the commode. When all of a sudden it begins to clog up and begins overflowing and you see no plunger

You know what you have to do the comedian says; you have to burn the house down before anyone finds out you backed up the toilet. Did you ever see the movie Dumb and Dumber with Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels?

There was a scene of a plumbing emergency if there ever was one. Jim Carrey and Daniels are both after the same girl. Before his date with her Carrey a bottle of laxative into Daniel’s drink and as he is on his way to meet her at her house he fills his stomach and the rest of his body start to rumble.

As she lets him into her home she tells him she is almost ready and to make himself comfortable. By this point Daniels is ready to blow up. He finds a bathroom and rushes to the toilet. He lowers his pants and has the relief of a life time. His date hears him in the bathroom and tells him she hopes he is not using the toilet because it is broken. I told you it was an emergency if there ever was one in the plumbing world.

I made a plumbing emergency once. I was tyring to repair a leaking bathroom faucet. I knew it had to do with the worn out washer. And I realized I had to turn off the water supply before I started taking fixtures apart. I checked under the sink and found no shut off valve. I checked outside the perimeter of the house and found no shut off valve. I checked the yard and found no shut off valve. I heard that if I turned off the water main in the front of the house then the water company would have to be called to come and turn it back on. I did not want to wait for them to come out.

So in my genius I decided that I could probably fix the faucet without turning off the water supply. I went back in and took a wrench and started turning the ball bearing on the faucet handle. It did not give at first. But with more pressure I felt it loosen. I thought great I will have this fixed in no time. I turned it a few more times and felt it give.

Suddenly the fixture exploded and a fountain of cold water drenched me. The water was shooting off the ceiling and showering me with cold water. I scrambled for the part that blew off. I found it by the toilet. With the water raining down on me I shoved the part back in and started to turn it back in.

It blew from my hand as I tried to force it in. I grabbed if off the floor again and with a determined shove I finally got it locked back in. The shower was over but the bathroom was flooded and I was drenched. I caught my breath and called the plumber.
