Common Plumbing Issues And Fixes

Your home should be important to you — especially the inner workings that can prove costly, should they break. It’s important as a homeowner to not overlook the little things which can result in big problems. Oftentimes, we neglect the common plumbing issues, forgetting that they can one day turn into a bigger issue. Before this becomes a costly fix, it’s a good idea to have the situation fixed.

Clogs

If you’re dealing with a clog in your pipes, you might want to try and free them as soon as possible. A slow draining pipe can also be a telling sign of a future clog, and these can lead to backups, and bursted pipes. By using a drain snake or a baking soda solution, you can free up the pipes and make sure that there’s nothing left in the pipe. Additionally, you can try running hot water through it in order to break up some of the grime before you attempt to push a snake through.

Whistling Water

If your shower head is singing a song every time you turn it on, it might be a number of things. First, it would be a good idea to check your water valve, and make sure it’s completely turned on. Additionally, it might mean your water pressure is too high, in which you may need a regulator in order to lower it — it can be painful to those who are sensitive. Additionally, it pays to check your shower fixture, as the pieces in between may become worn out, causing sounds.

If you still can’t figure out the issue, you might have a larger issue on your hands, and it’s a good idea to leave it to the pros. For everything plumbing related, give Connectionz a call and we’ll take care of you.
