Common Plumbing Issues

Running Toilet 

Toilets usually run when the flapper valve inside the tank is letting water pass from the tank to the toilet bowl, if the float is imbalanced, or the fill valve comes loose.

Slow or Clogged Drain

Large items that get flushed through a drain can get stuck and block the flow of water causing a slow drain or clog. It is important to be weary of any over-the-counter drain cleaner.

Clogged Toilet 

A toilet will back up if there is a build-up of waste or if anything large is flushed. Try plunging the toilet or using a snake tool. If these methods fail, call us before the issue worsens.

Low Water Pressure

Weak water pressure could indicate that there is a hidden leak in your home.

Leaking Pipes

Most pipes will begin to leak near the joints. Keep an eye out for leaks in order to avoid property damage and a potentially costly repair.
