Common Plumbing Problems
Plumbing problems can arise at any time. Some problems are minor and you can solve them without any assistance from a professional plumber. However, there are problems that only an experienced plumber can satisfactorily solve. Below are some of the common plumbing problems that families face.
Common Plumbing Problems
Low water pressure
Clogged pipes generally cause poor water pressure. The first thing you should check is if the water pressure is low in both hot and cold taps. Accumulations of calcium in the aerator are probably the reason if the water pressure is low on both the hot and cold sides. Low water pressure can be the result of a more complicated plumbing problem.
Running toilet
Problems like a running toilet can waste a lot of water and cause discomfort. The toilet works when the flush does not interrupt the flow of water into the bowl. Minor flushing problems can be solved with little knowledge. The first step is to find the part that is causing this problem. In case you are not familiar with the system, it is advisable to consult an emergency plumber to fix the problem immediately.
Clogged drain
When a sticky or hard substance passes through pipes or sinks, it causes obstruction. There are many techniques for cleaning the drain and sinks. The use of an appropriate chemical can repair the minor obstruction. However, chemicals aren’t always safe. The best approach is to call a plumber from Reading Plumber to solve the problem safely.
Slow-draining tank
The clogged tub drain full of hair and debris can slow the water as it flows out of the tub. The objects causing this problem can be removed with the pair of needle nose pliers. Sometimes it can be difficult for families to remove debris stuck in the drain. If you do not have the experience and tools to perform even simple plumbing tasks such as removing debris, contact an experienced plumber immediately.
Leaking pipes
There are plumbing problems that emerge only when a thorough inspection is performed. A leaking pipe is one of those problems. Leaks can cause irreparable damage. This is why experienced plumbers recommend regular inspections. It is not correct to temporarily fix a plumbing problem. A timely and durable flood and leak repair or replacement can save you time and money.
