Even with proper cleaning and maintenance, occasionally, you’ll need help from a plumber to repair an issue with your water system. From leaky pipes to inconsistent water pressure, there are some issues that shouldn’t be ignored. Below are a few times you’ll need a plumber’s help.

How to Know When You Need to Call a Plumber

1. Low Water Pressure

If you ever notice that the water is coming out of your faucets or showerheads slower than usual, it’s likely due to a plumbing issue. Sometimes, your pipes need to be cleared of buildup. In other instances, you might have an unaddressed leak somewhere.

2. Visible Changes in Your Water

The water running from your faucets should be clear when everything is working correctly. If you notice a rusty color, you could have corroding pipes, or if it only occurs when running hot water, you may need to repair or replace your water heater. If the issue isn’t related to your heater, you may need to have some of your pipes replaced.

3. Strange Noises From Your Pipes

It’s normal to hear the sound of water running through your pipes when someone is using a sink or when you have the dishwasher running. However, if no one is using faucets in your home and you hear water running, that’s usually indicative of a leak. You should also listen for gurgling noises from your toilets and appliances, as this sound can indicate a clogged drain that needs to be addressed to prevent backups.
