Six Common Plumbing Problems Homeowners Experience
A recent study reveals that, on average, property owners will call a plumbing professional at least once every three years, depending on how old their house is.
Various kinds of plumbing issues can occur in a typical home. Here is a list of what our professionals typically see in the homes they service.
Dripping pipes
While dripping pipes are mostly associated with cold weather, they can become an issue for homeowners year-round. Many pipes will leak near the joints, creating damp areas in the ceiling or ground. A house with prolonged dripping pipes can quickly become a water damaged mess; addressing this issue promptly can save homeowners money and headaches down the road.
Leaking faucets
Leaking faucets are another typical plumbing problem most homeowners have experienced and neglected. When ignored, that leaking faucet increases water bill expenses continuously until addressed.
Running toilets
When a running toilet is ignored, 200 gallons of water can be wasted per day. That’s a great deal of water waste. Call a local plumber as soon as a running toilet is identified to save on costly water expenses that can add up over time.
Dripping hose pipe bibb
A dripping hose bibb is typical in the summer and spring seasons. We recommend our consumers buy a frost-proof hose pipe bibb, which can minimize the opportunity of future leakages. Our plumbers can inspect, recommend, and install the correct bibb.
Low water pressure
Low water pressure is often experienced by older homes, primarily because of the need to replace new plumbing parts or a showerhead. However, there are many reasons why we experience low water pressure, so it is better to consult a professional plumber to find out why and complete appropriate repairs.
Sluggish or stopped up drains
Our professional service technicians caution clients to avoid retail drain cleaners. Instead, call a professional plumber to properly clear the sluggish or blocked drain.
