The plumbing in our homes provide the water we need throughout the day. However, many homeowners take the plumbing in their home for granted; thusly, they do not have maintenance performed on their home’s plumbing that can prevent major disasters in the future. This may lead you to wonder how you will know if you need to hire a Calgary plumber to perform maintenance on your home’s plumbing. Here are just a few of the signs you can look out for that can indicate problems with the plumbing in your home.
Insufficient Water Pressure
A reduction in the water pressure in your home may not be something you notice right away, as this reduction can be gradual over time. However, if you have noticed that the water pressure in your home is not what it used to be, do not dismiss this as it can be an indicator of bigger problems with your home’s plumbing. Reduced water pressure throughout your home could indicate problems with your piping, or it could indicate a problem with your hot water heater. If you have noticed a reduction in the water pressure in your home, contact a plumber to have this issue addressed.
Slow Drains
Another serious problem that can appear slowly is a blockage in your pipes. However, if you notice that your drains are draining slowly, it is likely that this is a sign of the beginnings of a blockage. Homeowners will often first notice this blockage in their bathtub/shower, as this is a low drain that will show early signs of a blockage. If you begin to experience drainage issues in your home, it is imperative that you have this issue taken care of as soon as possible before the problem becomes more severe.
Dripping Faucets
It is likely that at one time or another you have experienced the problem of having a faucet in your home that drips continually. Oftentimes, if it is a small drip, homeowners will not have the problem taken care of. However, even a small drip can cause you to waste hundreds of gallons of water a year, which can make a dripping faucet an expensive problem. Furthermore, a dripping faucet can be an indicator of other plumbing problems, which can make it a good idea to have the problem faucet looked at by a plumber.
