What are the most common plumbing problems?

There are a wide variety of plumbing issues that can arise at any time, and they tend to become most severe when you least anticipate them. Occasionally, the disruption they cause in our everyday lives is minimal, but it’s not uncommon for plumbing issues to cost a pretty penny to fix when you don’t take care of the issue right away.

Although plumbing in the modern day is an incredible technological achievement, it is not immune to malfunctions. Some plumbing problems are simple enough for a DIY fix, but others should be left to the experts. If you’re in Delaware, make sure you call on the plumbing professionals at Emergency Heating & Air for the best service.

Here are Some of the Most Prevalent Plumbing Issues We Encounter Regularly:

  • Constantly Running Toilet

Daily water usage from a running toilet can add up quickly. Sometimes the cause of a running toilet is a broken flapper valve. This is a relatively easy fix that you can take care of on your own. Simply replacing the flapper valve should do the trick. If you’re not sure how to replace the flapper valve, there are plenty of “how-to” videos online that can walk you through the process. Other times, the issue is more serious and you need to contact a professional.

  • Leaky Faucet

Water expenses can add up quickly if your faucets are dripping water. Not only is it a waste of water, but it can also damage your sink and cause other plumbing problems. Skilled plumbing contractors in Delaware can quickly identify the source of the leak and repair your dripping faucets.

  • Slow Drain

A slow drain is often the first sign of a clog. If you notice your sink or tub draining slower than usual, it’s best to take action right away before the problem gets worse. You can try to remove the clog yourself by using a plunger or a plumber’s snake. If these methods don’t work, or you don’t feel comfortable trying to remove the clog yourself, reach out to Emergency Plumbing Heating & Air. For service in Delaware and the surrounding areas, call on our plumbing professionals at (740) 217-0450.

  • Low Water Pressure

There are a lot of potential causes of low water pressure, but damaged, worn, or corroded pipes are the most prevalent culprits. If you’re experiencing low water pressure across the entire home, a plumber will likely need to replace or modify a faulty valve.

  • Sewer Problems

The sewer line in your home takes all the wastewater from your home to the sewer system. If you have a major clog in your plumbing, you may experience a sewer backup or blockage. This creates a foul odor, is unpleasant to look at, and can be costly to repair. It doesn’t matter what caused your sewer troubles; you should call a plumbing contractor in Delaware to fix the issue immediately.
