Common Plumbing Problems You Can Identify

When it comes to plumbing, we believe that experience, skill and certification are vital areas, that’s why Ready & Able Plumbing only employ highly trained professionals.
However, some basic knowledge can at least help you identify some of the more common and basic problems that you may encounter, which is always useful if you’re trying to describe the problem to a professional or think that you have the skill level to attempt a repair yourself.

Any type of leak

It may sound obvious, but if you have water leaking out of your pipework, you should get it looked at sooner rather than later. You would be surprised at just how many people ‘leave it for another day’ and then wonder why they have come home to a flooded house one day. Pipework very rarely ‘just leaks’, usually something has changed to create that. Get it checked!

Leaky Faucet

This is probably one of the most common problems that you’re likely to encounter. As well as being annoying, the accumulated waste water actually works out to many gallons when left. Most people’s first reaction is to try and turn the faucet even harder, not only can this actually damage the faucet, but in older style faucets that use traditional rubber washers, you could easily make that leak worse.

Toilets

There can be a few common problems with toilets, it could be lacking in flushing power or just clogged!
Of course, if your toilet is clogged, you’ll reach for your plunger before reaching for the phone, but severe and frequent clogs and most other toilet problems need professional help.
