Strange Noises

Do you hear weird noises near your pipes, even when water isn’t being used? Clanging and grinding sounds are often an indication that pipes have become loose and are hitting one another. A rumbling sound may be a sign of damage to your main water line. It is best to call a professional plumber who can conduct a thorough inspection and leak detection service and determine if a repair or replacement is needed.

Bad Smells

The smell of raw sewage could be a warning sign that your sewer line has become compromised. In some situations, the smell of raw eggs may come from a rarely used basement sink or guest room shower stall. If this is so, then the smell should disappear by running water into the drain and cleaning the area with a simple vinegar and baking soda solution. If you continue to smell bad odors, then you probably have a leak that needs to be fixed immediately.

Expensive Water Bills

Damaged pipes will allow a significant amount of water to escape. This extra water loss is often reflected on the homeowner’s monthly water bills. If you’re experiencing a sudden, unexplainable rise in utility expenses, then you might have a leak somewhere in your plumbing system.

Water Damage Another tell tale sign of trouble is visible water damage. Standing water, sagging ceiling, peeling paint, bulging drywall, discoloration, mold growth and rotting wood are all clear examples of danger. If you notice one or more of the above issues, then it is important to find out why you are experiencing damage. While there is a possibility that the source of trouble is a roof leak or other structural issue, it’s best to hire a local plumber for an inspection before the situation becomes worse.

Low Water Pressure Does the water in your kitchen sink or shower seem to trickle out? Poor water pressure can sometimes be caused by a severe clog, leak or damaged pipe. If you think this is the case for your home, be sure to contact a plumber quickly so you can pinpoint the cause.
