Plumbing problems lead to water damage and mold growth. Unfortunately, some of these issues may be happening for some time before they become visible. But there are common signs that indicate it’s time to call a professional.
- A sudden spike in your monthly water bill might be from hidden leaks in your plumbing system. Keep track of your average monthly payment for comparison. If you see any significant change in your bill, you likely have a leak somewhere.
- Mold grows in damp areas. If you notice mold or mildew, this could indicate a plumbing issue.
- Low water pressure may be a sign of a plumbing problem in the home. This could be due to a clog in the line or a damaged faucet aerator. If you have low water pressure throughout your home, this may indicate a leak.
- A foul smell may mean that the sewer line is broken or clogged. Call a professional plumber to inspect the lines and make repairs.
- Clean water should be colorless. If you notice discolored water coming from your tap, the problem may be a result of rust or corrosion. This could mean the pipes are old and need replacement.
