Common Plumbing Problems

Recognizing the early signs of a plumbing issue can save you from costly repairs and potential damage. Watch out for the following symptoms, which may indicate a bigger underlying problem:

• A leaky faucet might seem like just an annoyance, but it can waste a significant amount of water over time and increase your utility bills. 
• Slow or clogged drains can indicate a blockage in your pipes. Common symptoms include water backing up in your sink, shower, or bathtub, and unpleasant odours emanating from the drain. 
• A toilet that continuously runs might have a faulty flapper valve or fill valve. This problem can waste large amounts of water and lead to higher water bills. Listen for unusual sounds or frequent refilling noises.
• If you experience weak water flow from faucets or showerheads, it could be due to mineral buildup in the aerators, leaking pipes, or issues with the water heater. Low water pressure can affect your daily activities and should be addressed promptly.
• Common water heater problems include inconsistent water temperature, strange noises, or leaks around the unit. If your showers are getting cold too quickly or the water temperature fluctuates, it could indicate a failing heating element or thermostat.
• Leaking or burst pipes are often the result of root intrusion, age, persistent blockages, or freezing temperatures that cause the water to expand and break the pipe. Signs of a leak include damp spots on walls or ceilings, an unexpected spike in your water bill, and reduced water pressure. Immediate action is required to prevent extensive water damage.
• Backup in your sewer system can be a serious issue. Symptoms include multiple drain clogs, water backing up in unusual places like your toilet or bathtub, and foul smells coming from the drains.
• Sometimes, leaks can occur without obvious signs, hidden behind walls or under floors. Common indicators of a silent leak include unexplained increases in your water bill, damp or mouldy spots on walls or floors, and a musty odour in the affected areas.
