Your Bathroom Plumbing Needs Help!

October 29, 2018 Michael Blogs

Our appropriate timing for plumbing is almost never appropriate! We don’t call a plumber until our faucets stop working, our drains get clogged, or in the worst case, our bathroom starts flooding.

Then comes the kind of people who’re familiar with drain cleaners and plungers. However, you will need a plumber eventually and the more you delay, the worse the damage.

Here are a few warning signs that tell you when to call your plumber, pronto:

1. Slow Draining
2. Hearing running Water
3. Frozen Pipes
4. Sewage Odor
5. Low Pressure

1. Slow Draining

If your bathroom sink takes too long to drain, it’s a clog waiting to happen. If your bathtub, sink, or toilet does not drain even after you use a plunger or a drain product, you need to call a plumber immediately before your drain starts over flooding.

Avoid DIY hacks; they can cause more damage to the pipeline. Hearing a gurgling sound when you use your toilet is also a sign of a clogged drain.

2. Hearing running Water

Sounds of running water in your pipes when it is not being used by anyone are the sign of a leakage in your pipeline. A pro tip is to check your water meter when no one is using water. If it continues changing, you might be experiencing a leak. Look for brown or wet spots on your walls, ceilings, or floor.

3. Frozen Pipes

Florida winters have suddenly gotten harsh. As temperatures drop, roads are covered in snow. The fact that your piping system is underground won’t protect it from being frozen.

As soon as you notice clanking noise in your plumbing or see visible frost on your pipes, put your plumber on speed dial.

4. Sewage Odor

The smell of rotten eggs from your bathroom plumbing indicates a broken vent or pipe. Get it checked immediately. They can cause environmental pollution and damage your foundation.

5. Low Pressure

If your bathroom faucet has low water pressure, it’s an indication of gunk accumulated in your faucet’s aerator. Try cleaning the gunk from your aerator. If the pressure still isn’t restored, there might be a chance of water leak or a fractured pipe. Seek professional help to resolve these issues.
