2.NO WATER
If you have no water, there might be a leak in one of the pipes. Most pipes are hidden behind walls or underground. Call us, and we’ll help find and fix the problem quickly.
HIGH WATER BILL
An unexpectedly high water bill can mean you have a hidden water leak. Finding this leak can be difficult, so it’s best to have one of our professional plumbers inspect and locate the leak to resolve the issue swiftly.
FROZEN PIPES
Frozen pipes can crack or burst. Signs of frozen pipes include:
- No running water
- Frost on the pipes
- Outdoor temperatures at or below 32 degrees Fahrenheit
SLOW DRAINAGE
Sinks, showers, or bathtubs draining slowly can be due to debris buildup. You can try to clear the clog with a plunger, but be careful not to damage the pipes. It’s best to contact us for help.
LOW WATER PRESSURE
A drop in water pressure usually indicates a leak or a clog in your plumbing system. The more severe the problem, the more water pressure you’ll lose. If you have low water pressure, it’s time to call us.
GURGLING NOISE
A gurgling sound from your sink or toilet can mean something is blocking water or air from flowing through the drains. This can cause flooding if left untreated. Contact our team, and we’ll send a local plumber to evaluate and fix the problem.
UNPLEASANT SOUND FROM PLUGHOLE
If you smell sewage or rotten eggs at home or in the office, it might be a broken vent or sewer pipe. Whenever you notice a bad smell, call us so we can sort out the problem.
CONSTANTLY FLUSHING THE TOILET
If your toilet keeps running after a normal flush, the float cup might be too high, the chain on the flapper might have an issue, or the flapper seal or fill valve might need replacing. You can try fixing it yourself, but if it doesn’t work, contact us for assistance.
WATER STAINS ON THE CEILING
Water stains on your ceiling, ranging from light brown to yellow and usually circular or oval, are signs of ceiling water damage. Investigate the source of the leak and have it repaired as soon as possible.
DRIPPING TAP
Dripping taps mean the washers or seals in the taps are worn out and need replacing. A dripping tap wastes a lot of water, so it’s important to get it fixed.
