Ways To Troubleshoot Common Plumbing Problems

To limit the amount of water damage, you need to schedule repairs with an experienced plumber. However, before calling for an expert, you can first try to troubleshoot some issues on your own to either repair the issue or give plumbers a better idea of the extent of the issue. These can include:

Check for signs of water leaks, including dripping faucets or pooling water.

Inspect the home’s water pressure by determining if it’s reduced in one faucet or fixture, or if it’s throughout the entire house.

If you have a slow or clogged drain, try using a plunger to remove the blockage. A drain snake can be used for more stubborn clogs.

If a toilet is running, lift the lid and check if the flapper is properly sealing the flush valve. Adjust or replace the flapper if necessary. You should also check the fill valve and adjust the water level if it’s too high or too low.

If you’re experiencing reduced water flow in faucets, it could be due to a clogged aerator. Unscrew the aerator from the faucet and clean it thoroughly. If cleaning doesn’t help, consider replacing the aerator.

If these tasks do not improve the plumbing issue, then you should call our experts at S.D.H. Plumbing & Heating.

Leak-Detection Methods Plumbers Use

If there is a leak in your plumbing system, it’s essential to call a plumber and have them determine where it is, and repair it. The faster these services are performed, the better chance you have of limiting the amount of water damage.

Some ways plumbers determine if there is a leak at a home, and where it is, include:

Perform visual inspections to look for dripping water, wet spots, mold, or water stains on the walls or flooring.

Check the water meter to see if it runs even when all of the plumbing fixtures are turned off.

Test the water pressure to see if there is a leak in the piping system.

Use electronic leak detectors or ground microphones to listen for sounds of water leaking from the pipes.

If you have a burst pipe at your house, call us for immediate repairs to limit the amount of damage.
