Plumbing issues require advanced knowledge, specific equipment, skills, and high level training. It’s typically best to hire a plumber when dealing with any issue in your home. If you neglect plumbing issues, they can become a much larger problem, costing homeowners more money in the long run. We have outlined some signs when it may be time to call a plumber. To help you save money on costly plumbing repairs or replacements in your future.
Not receiving water
If the faucets in your home aren’t delivering water, this is a sign you should hire a plumber. Plumbing issues may be responsible for the loss of water in your house. This include water line leaks, clogged pipes, or frozen plumbing lines. Since the water is not reaching your faucets and appliances, it may be leaking in other areas of your home. To confirm the loss of water is due to a leak or another issue, you should contact a plumber immediately.
Low Water Pressure
Another sign people may not think of, is if you’re struggling to rinse the soap off your body while you shower. This may be due to low water pressure in your home. A common cause of low water pressure includes damaged water lines. As the pipes behind your walls or beneath your foundation become older, small cracks may begin to form. Depending on the size of the crack or hole, a quantity of your water may be leaking from your water lines prior to reaching your shower, sink, or fixtures. Depending on the severity of the issue, a local plumber may recommend patching the leak or replacing your pipes.
Smelly Water
Nasty smells in the home can be a sign of something wrong with your plumbing also. A negative side effect of a clogged drainage pipe often includes unpleasant odors near your sink, shower, or toilet. As the sewer lines in your house reach the end of their lifespan, blockages from materials such as food, grease, or hair may become more common. If you are unable to remove the materials from your drain line with a drain snake or plunger, you should hire a plumber to remove the clog and ensure your drainage system is working properly.
