Plumbing Repair 

Issues like leaky faucets and running toilets are pretty easy to solve, while other plumbing problems can come out of nowhere, like burst pipes in the winter or sudden drops in water pressure. Here’s a rundown of some of the most common types of repairs so you’ll know what’s happening if something goes wrong:

• Clogs and Blockages: Whether it’s in the kitchen sink or the shower, clogs are notorious for disrupting everyday routines. While a plunger can solve some, recurring clogs might indicate a more serious issue, like a build-up in the main line.
• Leaky Pipes and Faucets: A dripping faucet might not seem urgent, but it can add up on your water bill and encourage mold growth. Leaky pipes hidden behind walls or under floors are especially problematic, and often lead to unseen water damage.
• Water Heater Troubles: Nothing reminds you of the importance of hot water like a cold shower. Issues with water heaters range from thermostat problems to sediment build-up, and each requires specific know-how to handle them safely.
• Running Toilets: A toilet that doesn’t stop running can waste gallons of water a day. Many times, it’s a worn-out flapper or fill valve that needs attention.

When Should You Call the Pros? 

Sometimes, the best thing you can do is know when a job is out of your depth. So, when is it time to call professional plumbers? Here are a few instances where reaching for the phone is likely better than reaching for your wrench:

• Persistent Clogs: If plunging doesn’t fix it or if you find yourself dealing with clogs frequently, it could signal a bigger issue in your main plumbing line. A professional has tools, like drain cameras, to locate and clear stubborn blockages safely.
• Low Water Pressure: Sudden changes in water pressure are rarely something you can fix with a quick tweak. Low pressure can stem from issues as serious as pipe corrosion, hidden leaks, or even a broken pressure regulator.
• Sewer Line Problems: If you notice foul smells or sewage backup, it’s time to call a plumber immediately. Sewer line issues can escalate quickly and require specialized equipment and expertise to diagnose and fix.
• Major Leaks or Burst Pipes: A burst pipe isn’t something to handle alone. Immediate professional intervention can prevent extensive water damage and costly repairs down the road.
