Homeowners must be aware of common plumbing issues that can arise, causing inconvenience, damage, or costly repairs if left unaddressed. We’ll discuss the top five plumbing issues you should know, the warning signs to monitor, and when to call the professionals from our plumbing company to resolve these problems.
Leaky Faucets and Pipes
A dripping faucet or leaking pipe can lead to water waste, increased utility bills, and potential water damage. Look for signs of leaks, such as damp spots, water stains, or mold growth around plumbing fixtures. If you notice any of these signs, contact our plumbing company to promptly identify and repair the leak.
Clogged Drains
Clogged drains are a common plumbing issue that can cause slow-draining sinks, showers, and bathtubs. Hair, soap scum, and other debris can accumulate over time, leading to blockages. To prevent clogs, use drain screens and avoid disposing of grease or food particles down your drains. If you’re experiencing a persistent or severe clog, our professional plumbers can safely clear the blockage and restore proper drainage.
Low Water Pressure
Low water pressure can be frustrating and may indicate an underlying plumbing issue, such as a partially closed shut-off valve, clogged pipes, or a hidden leak. If you’re experiencing low water pressure throughout your home, call our plumbing company to diagnose the issue and provide a solution.
Running Toilets
A running toilet can waste significant water and increase your utility bills. The most common cause of a running toilet is a worn-out flapper, which can be replaced easily. However, if the problem persists or you’re unsure how to replace the flapper, our professional plumbers can quickly fix the issue for you.
Water Heater Issues
Lack of hot water, inconsistent water temperature, or unusual noises from your water heater may indicate an issue requiring professional attention. Regular maintenance can help prevent water heater problems. Still, if you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, having our plumbing company inspect your system to determine the cause and recommend any necessary repairs or replacements is best.
Awareness of these common plumbing issues and taking proactive measures to prevent them can save you time, money, and frustration in the long run. Contact our plumbing company if you encounter any of these problems or need professional assistance with your plumbing system. Our skilled and experienced plumbers are ready to help you maintain a well-functioning and efficient plumbing system in your home.
