Identifying Plumbing Issues Before They Become Major Problems

Many plumbing issues around the home will have symptoms that show up before major problems occur. By addressing these symptoms before they become larger, you can often prevent damage and expensive repairs.

Here are some of the more common plumbing problems that can cause significant damage if left uncorrected.

Water Leaks – An undetected water leak or drip can cause hidden mold and rot problems. Enclosed spaces like crawl spaces should be inspected for water spots or mold, which can indicate a leak. Check the area under sinks and vanities for water stains.

Screeching Faucets – This could indicate that the air “bleed-off” system is not working right.

Low Water Pressure – This can be caused by a clog, leak, or a pipe that is too narrow for a particular application.

Rattling Pipes – This can indicate air is trapped in the pipes.

Backed Up Toilet – This may indicate a damaged or clogged sewer line.

Water Heater Rust – If you see brown water coming out of your faucets, your water heater may be corroded.
