Life is no fun when you’re stuck with a bathroom that’s out of order and you need to find a plumber. A home or commercial building should have its plumbing system regularly maintained by a licensed and qualified plumber to keep everything running smoothly and to help detect any repairs that need to be fixed.
At Art Plumbing, Air Conditioning & Electric, we’ve created a list of the most common bathroom plumbing repairs that you may come across as a home or business owner.
A leaking or dripping faucet can significantly increase your monthly water bill. Simply put, the longer you leave this simple repair unattended, the more expensive it becomes.
As rubber washers near the end of their lifetime, they start to deteriorate which leads to water being able to escape where it should be sealed shut. Also, if the faucet isn’t being used often, the washers can dry up and become brittle.
If you have drains, pipes, or even toilets that aren’t draining, it’s probably because they’re being clogged by debris, soap scum, hair, grease, and other types of buildup. If left unattended, clogged toilets and drains have the potential to flood your home or business.
There are multiple reasons why a toilet could constantly run and waste water. The three main reasons include the fill valve, flapper valve, and the leaky flush valve.
An excess of sediment and mineral buildup could also be the culprit causing the toilet to constantly run. Typically, this problem doesn’t fly far under the radar because most of the time you’ll be able to hear if your toilet is running.
If you have water that’s trickling instead of flowing, you could be dealing with low water pressure.
Some homes have old, galvanized water pipes that are prone to the buildup of rust, limescale, minerals, and oxidation which can affect the water pressure in your home.
Water temperature issues are mainly caused by water heaters that aren’t running correctly. To extend your water heater’s lifespan, it needs to be regularly inspected and maintained by a qualified plumber.
This is one of the easiest plumbing problems to spot. Having a bad odor in your bathroom is extremely unhygienic as bacteria could be lingering in the air, resting on various surfaces, and be transferred out of the bathroom to other parts of your home.
The best solution for any bathroom plumbing repair is to call a licensed and professional plumber. Plumbing repairs can be misleading as they mask themselves as small problems when in fact, they are rather large and complex.
DIY repair jobs can be quite tempting to tackle, but often they cost you more money and you end up with a bigger problem than before.
Below is a list of reasons why you should always opt to hire a professional for your plumbing repairs:
