Catch it early
Plumbing warning signs worth acting on
Problems are often easier to resolve before they become urgent. A sink, shower, tub or floor drain that backs up repeatedly may have buildup or a blockage forming deeper in the line. Gurgling from drains or toilets can point to restricted venting, a developing clog or a sewer line concern.
Dripping faucets, leaking supply connections and toilets that run constantly waste water and may come from worn parts or pressure problems. Damp cabinets, discolored walls, warped flooring or a musty smell can be early signs of a hidden leak. Note where and when each change appears; an inspection confirms the cause.
