Signs That It's Time to Call a Plumber

April 12, 2022
A good plumbing system is crucial in commercial and residential properties. Having your sink, water system, and toilet in the right condition comes with peace of mind. Plumbing systems are also prone to various damages. Common plumbing problems include clogged sinks, cracked and leaky pipes, dripping faucets, running toilets, and water heater issues.

Such problems pose several risks. Having a damaged water or sewer line will increase the risks of health issues. Cracked pipes and clogged toilets or sinks can cause water pooling in your place. Such incidences result in mold and mildew growth, increasing the risks of respiratory complications.

A damaged water system will also damage your property and subject you to unnecessary repair expenses. Additionally, your property's value will also decline. Ensure that you inspect and maintain your plumbing system regularly. Sometimes, it can be difficult to detect some plumbing problems. Here are the common signs that it is time you contact a plumbing expert.

Inconsistent Water Pressure 

Poor water pressure is frustrating. You will waste so much time washing your clothes, utensils, and cleaning your home if your pressure is too low. There are several possible causes of low water pressure. One of them is leaky pipes. Cracks in the pipes reduce the amount of water reaching the faucets. A damaged water pressure regulator also reduces the pressure.



Other possible causes are blocked pipes, plump failure, interior pipe damage, and mineral collection in the pipes. Contact a professional plumber immediately you notice a problem with your water pressure. An expert will correct such damages in the least time possible. Hire a plumbing contractor experienced in fixing plumbing problems.


One way to confirm the plumber's professionalism is to ask them about the possible causes of the problem. An experienced contractor should give you clear explanations and solutions for poor water pressure.

Clogged Sinks 

Sink clogging is another sign you need to call an expert in plumbing. Your sink should be able to empty itself smoothly. Several things can increase the risks of clogged drains in your place. Among them include soap scum, food scraps, coffee grounds, and grease. A clogged drain will damage your water quality and cause bad odors in your home.



The problem will also attract mosquitoes and spread bacteria in your place. Delaying to call a good plumbing contractor will risk your health and damage your property more. A professional plumber should open up your sink and remove all clogs.


Note that sink or drain clogs can also reflect sewer line problems. Ensure that your plumbing expert checks your sewer system after unclogging the sink.

Frozen Pipes

Winter makes ice and snow build up in the pipes and faucets. Excess accumulation of snow in the pipes causes them to crack. The problem will also interfere with the water pressure in your place. Don't wait for more ice to damage your water pipes. Melting of the frozen water will cause flooding and possibly damage your floors.



Removing the ice on your own can result in more pipe damage. Contact an expert in plumbing to address the issue. A professional plumber has the right skills and expertise to safely remove frozen water from your pipes and faucets.

Poor Water Quality

Pay attention to the color and smell of your water. Poor-quality water will risk your health and damage your health. Your water should not taste weird or have a yellow color. A good plumber will check your main water supply and pipe damages to detect the causes of the problem. Inspecting your plumbing system regularly is necessary.
