Signs You Need Plumbing Repair

One of the best ways to protect your home is to recognize the signs that you need professional plumbing repair as soon as possible. Look for these common signs of problems:

• Dropping taps and fixtures: A fast or slow drip in your sinks, shower, or toilet indicates the seals have worn through. A plumber can easily replace these components. (Some other drips may be caused by hardwater buildup.)
• Gurgling drains: If your kitchen drain or sink drains make noise, that indicates a developing clog—the water is flowing into the drainage system easily because of a buildup of hair, soaps, or FOG (fats, oil, and grease). The sooner a plumber in Cypress can assess and remove the clog, the better.
• Pipe leaks: Pipe leaks can strike out of sight, such as around your water heater or even in the walls. Look for signs of moisture or water stains on your walls and ceilings (especially under bathrooms), as water damage can quickly become expensive. Also, a leak could be the culprit if you smell water, mustiness, or mold.
• Damp ground: If you have watery or muddy lawn patches that don’t align with your irrigation, you may have a leak in your main supply line or drain. Many older homes in Texas have clay and cast iron components of their drain lines that will break down over time, so cracks can form underground. Trees will also push their roots through cracked water lines, leading to clogs, significant leaks, and costly repairs.

Any of these signs may indicate a severe plumbing problem or a problem that can become serious if neglected. But when you call in a plumber from 1-800-Plumber +Air, we can assess, inspect, and troubleshoot any problem and give you free pricing estimates before getting to work.
