Less water coming out of the tap?
Low water pressure will cause it to be harder for you to get water out of your tap, and may be a sign of a few different things – debris buildup in pipes, problems with your pressure reducing valve. If it’s simply debris causing blockages, removal and cleaning of faucets and shower heads sometimes clears up the issues. In some cases, further professional work will be needed.
Drip…Drip…Drip
Aside from the annoying noise it creates, a dripping faucet may seem harmless, but don’t be fooled. They can cause quite a dent in one’s water bill by how much water is wasted over time. If you can’t seem to get that leaky faucet to stop dripping it may be time to contact a plumber. Your nerves and wallet will thank you.
It may seem insignificant, but after a few weeks (or even days) of having a leaky faucet, it can really take a toll on your monthly water bill. And aside from your growing bill and the irritating sound, that faucet could lead to more severe problems as that water can trickle and pool, causing water damage to your surrounding structures.
Optimal Flushing
The inner workings of a toilet need maintenance too, and there may come a time where they lose enough function that parts need to be replaced.
Clogged drains or toilets happen more often than we’d like them to. But the reality is for as often as they’re used, blockages are simply unavoidable. So when you notice that water beginning to rise or your drain is struggling to cope, a plumber should be the first person you call, especially if it’s a recurring problem.
Similar to a leaky faucet, having a toilet that continues to run well after it’s been used can also equate to some major problems and a hefty monthly bill for you to deal with. Avoid a spike in your water bill and have it fixed.
