Dealing with a plumbing concern in your home is not unusual. At some stage, there may be an issue that requires leak repairs or drain cleaning. Some problems are so common that plumbers can resolve them very quickly so that your normal routine isn’t disrupted. Here are a few typical issues that may occur in your home.

Plumbing Problems Commonly Found in Homes

1. Slow Drains

A sluggish drain takes a while to develop, but, once it happens, you’ll notice it right away. It occurs when buildup develops inside the pipe, thereby preventing water from flowing down smoothly. In kitchens, it’s commonly due to excess fats, greases, and oils, which solidify and create immovable blockages. In bathrooms, the culprit is typically hair. In either case, it’s best to avoid using chemical solutions to break the clog. These can be harmful to older pipes and create problems in the future. Plumbers can use the appropriate tools to open up the pipes.

2. Leaky Faucets

You may not realize that there’s a leak in your faucet until you hear that telltale dripping noise. You may also notice a significant hike in your bill if there’s been an ongoing leak. If you understand the standard faucet assembly, you may be able to resolve this issue with a new aerator and O-ring. But in most cases, it’s best to have a plumber assess the problem, determine the source, and perform leak repairs.

3. Clogged Toilets

If something gets lodged in the pipes, your toilet can become clogged. Using a plunger can usually help dislodge the blockage so that the toilet flushes normally again. You may need to do this multiple times before it works. In some cases, the blockage may be particularly stubborn. You’ll need a plumbing contractor to assess the problem so that you don’t risk damage to the pipes.
