The Importance of Regular Leak Detection
Plumbing issues are a part of every homeowner's experience, but not every problem needs a costly professional fix. From clogged drains to running toilets, many common plumbing problems can be handled with a few tools and basic know-how
Dripping Faucets
Turn off the water and replace worn washers or cartridges to stop drips.
Slow Drains
Hair, grease, and soap often clog drains. Clear them using a plunger, drain snake, or natural cleaning solution.
Running Toilet
A malfunctioning flapper causes continuous running. Inspect and replace if needed.
Low Water Pressure
Check for mineral buildup in aerators and showerheads. Clean or replace for better water flow.
Leaky Pipes
Temporary fixes include clamps or epoxy, but long-term solution usually requires replacing the damaged section.
Water Heater Problems
No hot water? Check the thermostat or pilot light, and flush the tank if sediment has built up.
Jammed Garbage Disposal
Use the reset button or manually dislodge jams with an Allen wrench.
Slow Tub Drain
Soap residue and hair can block flow. Remove debris with a drain stick or snake.
Toilet Doesn’t Flush Properly
Check water level, flapper, and chain; adjust or replace any faulty components.
Sewer Smells
Dry traps or cracked seals may release odors. Pour water into unused drains and inspect toilet wax seals.
