Functional indoor plumbing is one of the basic foundations of modern living, helping people to enjoy clean water, tidy bathrooms, and helpful appliances like dishwashers. If problems strike, you might wonder where you went wrong. Here are three signs you should call a plumber early. 

Signs Your Plumbing Is In Trouble

1. Slow-Moving Drains

Although a slow-moving drain might not seem like an emergency, it could be a sign that your plumbing is disconnected, clogged, or severely damaged. Pay attention to how quickly water escapes sinks, dishwasher basins, and shower stalls, and contact a plumber if you notice water lagging behind. 

2. Evidence of Ongoing Water Damage 

When pipes start to fail, they can develop pinhole leaks, allowing water to slowly leak out of the pipe. Sometimes, these small leaks occur inside of walls, making it even more difficult to uncover the problem. Be on the lookout for evidence of ongoing water damage, including peeling paint, mold growth, warped flooring, and discolored ceiling tiles. 

3. Excess Noise

Plumbing issues can also lead to excess noise since water can start to gargle in various points along the drain lines. If you have high water pressure, your pipes might also knock or bang together when taps or appliances are turned on. Pay attention to the way your house sounds, and talk with a plumber if you notice new sounds that could be stemming from pipes within your walls.
