Plumbing problems can spring up anytime. Some of the issues are minor and can be fixed without any professional assistance. However, there are problems that only an expert plumber can resolve satisfactorily. Following are some of the common plumbing issues households face:
Low water pressure
Poor water pressure is generally caused by clogged pipes. The first thing you should check is if the water pressure is low in both hot and cold faucets. Calcium buildups in the aerator is likely the reason if water pressure is low in both hot and cold sides. Low water pressure can be the result of a more complicated issue.
Running toilet
Problems like running toilet can waste plenty of water and cause inconvenience. Toilet runs when flush fails to stop water flow into the bowl. Minor flush toilet issues can be fixed with little knowledge. The first step is to find the part causing this issue. If you are not familiar with the system, it’s advisable to consult a professional plumber to fix the problem immediately.
Clogged drain
When a sticky or hard substance passes through pipes or sinks, it causes obstruction. There are many techniques used to clear the drain and sinks. Using an appropriate chemical can fix the minor obstruction. However, chemicals are not always safe. The best approach is to call a plumbing company to get the problem fixed safely.
Slow draining tub
Tub drain full of hair and debris can slow the water down as it drains out of the tub. Objects causing this problem can be removed with the pair of needle nose pliers. Sometimes it can be hard for households to remove the debris stuck in the drain. If you do not have the experience and tools to perform even the easy plumbing tasks such as the removal of debris, reach a dependable plumber immediately.
Leaky pipes
There are plumbing issues which only come to surface when a thorough inspection is carried out. A Leaky pipe is one of those problems. Leaks can cause irreparable damage. This is why experts recommend regular inspections. It is not right to fix a plumbing issue temporarily. A timely and durable repair or replacement can save you time and money.
Whatever the nature of a plumbing problem, if you do not have the skills and equipment to deal with it, call a plumbing contractor immediately to fix the problem so that further damage can be avoided.
