A home remodel often requires the services of an expert plumber, especially if you're updating your kitchen or bath. Because of the complexity of such a project, it's important to hire someone competent and experienced. Below are three of the most common plumbing issues that can arise while remodeling a kitchen or bathroom without the help of an experienced professional.

3 Plumbing Problems Associated With Home Remodeling

1. Low Water Flow

When you rearrange or relocate the pipes in your kitchen or bath, the changes can affect the flow of water in these parts of your home. Your pipes must be correctly placed and adjusted to maintain optimal water pressure. Failure to do so can lead to inconsistent pressure, particularly when multiple fixtures or appliances are in use. By hiring an experienced plumber to position your pipes, you can avoid water pressure issues.

2. Leaky Faucets

If your contractor removes or updates the spigots of your sinks in the bathroom or kitchen, it can result in leaks. Even a minor drip can waste hundreds of gallons of water over time and cost you money in water and sewer utility bills. A skilled plumber will ensure your updated faucets don't leak.

3. Pipe Obstructions

The layouts of your kitchen and bathroom are reliant on the positioning of your pipes. For instance, plumbing pipes must feed your bathroom sink, shower, toilet, kitchen sink, dishwasher, and your refrigerator (if it features an ice or water dispenser). If you seek an entirely new layout, you may discover obstructions block the desired pathway of these pipes. Employing a skilled plumber can help avoid these plumbing-related frustrations.
