Plumbing Company Fixes
Most homeowners have a few tools on hand to deal with minor plumbing issues, but there comes a point in any home where a plumbing company has to come in and fix something. Don’t feel bad when it happens to you. Every home will have a plumbing company visit at some point. In fact, here are the most common problems a plumbing company will see within a home.
Dripping Faucets
Dripping faucets can be annoying and can prevent you from sleeping. Even though they are annoying, they are doing much more than bothering you. They are actually draining your water bill and pushing your rates up higher. One dripping faucet can send hundreds of gallons of water down the drain, one drop at a time. There are many different reasons why your faucet might be dripping and the right plumbing company can figure it out quickly and fix the problem for you. You will see relief in your bills and in the sounds your house makes.
Low Water Pressure
Water that used to gush out of your faucets and now drips is being plagued by low water pressure. There could be a lot of reasons for it, but often a break in the main line can reduce your water pressure. Even more often, there are simply sediment buildups and other deposits on the faucet aerators. If you notice low water pressure, calling a plumbing company is a good idea. The fix could be simple, but it can lead to more complicated issues if ignored.
Running Toilets
If your toilet runs and runs and you have to jiggle the handle and mess with it every time you flush, you might need some of the inner workings replaced. Toilets run when the flapper valve lets water pass through the tank into the bowl. If that valve doesn’t fit any longer, things are imbalanced and the toilet will run. You can get toilet repair kits, but it is often easier to call a plumbing company and have a professional do the work for you.
Leaky Pipes
Any time you see a pipe leaking, you could be facing a costly nuisance. Leaks often happen at joints and there can be temporary fixes for those, but the permanent repair requires calling a plumbing company to replace the pipe or it fitting. Leaky pipes can get worse over time so it is best not to ignore them when they sprout even a small leak.
Clogged Drains
When the water that goes into your sink or tub won’t go out very quickly, you might have a partial clog. The plumbing company can dislodge the clog and help you flush out the issue. They can also give you tips to help you prevent the problem from arising another time. You could install drain screens, for example, to prevent hair and other debris from getting into the drains in the first place so you don’t have to call the plumbing company again for the same problem any time soon.
