There are very common plumbing issues that may not seem like that big of a problem, but having any type of plumbing issue can lead to bigger problems, if not fixed. Simon Plumbing will go over some of the very common plumbing issues that you may be having in your home right now and not even worrying about it.
Leaking Pipes
If you have leaking pipes, it could be for many reasons. Some of these reasons are.
– Pipe corrosion
– The joints on the pipe are damaged
– Clogs
– The pipe lining is not correct
– Too much water pressure
– Cracked pipes
Whatever type of leaking pipe problem you have you need to get it fixed. You do not want to ignore leaking pipes. It could cause further damage and a bigger issue to your plumbing and your home.
Dripping Faucet
Having a dripping faucet is not only annoying, but it can end up costing you a lot of money and is very wasteful. Many times when your faucet is dripping, it could be that the washer or the O-ring is worn out and just needs to be replaced. There can be bigger problems happening, such as corrosion or your faucet was not installed properly causing it to drip. Don’t let the annoying drip go any longer, call and get it repaired so that it can save you money.
Running Toilets
Having a running toilet is a huge waste. It can waste up to 200 gallons a day. That is a lot of water that does not need to be wasted. There are a few reasons why your toilet could be running. When you get this fixed, you should not be hearing your toilet run throughout the day. These issues are:
– The flapper chain is not the right size
– The flapper seal is worn out
– the flush valve is worn out
– It is having a refill tube problem
– The toilet handles are corroded
Cracked Hose Bibb
You may find after a cold winter, in the summer or spring that the hose bibbs are cracked or leaking. This can happen if you do not protect it over the winter. You can purchase a frost-proof hose bibb. This can help reduce the risk of having leaks after a winter.
Clogged Drains
Having a clogged drain can be such a pain when you are trying to wash your hands or brush your teeth and the drain just keeps filling up. Having a clogged drain can be a health hazard and a plumbing disaster. If you have one slow drain in your home, it is usually localized. There is something that is causing the drain to clog on that one drain. If you have multiple clogged drains in your house that is a big red flag because this means you’re dealing with something associated with the sewer.
