Problems That Require a Residential Plumber

If you own a home, you can expect plumbing problems now and again. However, not all plumbing issues are equal; some are easy to fix yourself, while others require the expertise of professional plumbers.

Here are the most common plumbing issues that warrant calling a professional.

Burst Pipes

A burst pipe can leak hundreds of gallons of water into your home. And the longer you wait to call for repairs, the worse the damage gets. Sure, you can shut off the water at the main valve to stop the flow, but fixing the pipe is best left to a certified plumber.

Reduced Water Pressure

Reduced water pressure makes home life more difficult, especially when taking a shower or washing dishes. Low water pressure could be caused by a break in the city’s main water line, or it could be an issue on your end of the system. Sometimes, hard water causes deposits to build in your plumbing system, slowly closing down the water flow. If that’s the case, you may need to repipe your home.

Water Heater Failure

Regardless of how well-maintained your water heater is, it will fail eventually. To ensure you get the right size system for your home and proper installation, call a professional plumber to install your new water heater.

Sewage Odors

Sewage odor is distinctive and unlike mold or rotting garbage in the kitchen. If you smell sewage or wastewater coming up from the drains or around your property, it usually means there’s a leak in the main sewer line. Professional plumbers have specialized tools to diagnose sewer line problems quickly.

Slow Drains

A slow drain at one location usually means a localized clog. But, if you have multiple slow drains throughout the house, it could be a clog in the main sewer line.

If you notice any of these plumbing problems, don’t go to YouTube and try to fix them yourself because you’ll likely make matters worse. Call the professional plumbing experts at BenjaminBL Plumbing for accurate diagnostics and repairs.

Signs Your Gas Water Heater is Going Bad

It’s difficult to know when your water heater is failing. Sometimes, it seems like it works fine one day and then stops working the next.

Sudden water heater failure is rare; it usually happens gradually as minor problems go unnoticed and escalate, resulting in system shutdown.

However, there are a few red flags to watch for that show your water heater may need repairs or should be replaced soon, and here’s what to watch for.

Fluctuating Water Temperature

Do you notice that sometimes the water comes out hot, sometimes lukewarm, and sometimes cold? Fluctuating water temperatures typically happen when mineral deposits build up on the system’s heating elements, stopping them from heating thoroughly. If the mineral deposits are too thick and embedded, you may need a water heater replacement.

Discolored Water

The water coming out of the faucet should be crystal clear, so if you get cloudy or rust-colored water, it means you have a problem. Cloudy water is sometimes caused by dissolved oxygen bubbles released in the water, which is normal and should clear up in a minute or two. However, sometimes cloudy water happens when sediment builds up in the tank, which is a serious problem. Rust-colored water is another serious problem because it usually means the tank is corroding from the inside. Once rust takes hold, it’s only a matter of time before the tank is compromised and starts leaking.

Strange Sounds

You may hear buzzing or rumbling sounds coming from your water heater, and some homeowners think this means the system is about to explode, but don’t panic. Mineral deposits often cause loud buzzing or popping sounds. Sometimes, flushing the tank solves the problem, while in other instances, replacing the water heater is the only option.

Visible Corrosion

Once you see visible rust on the outside of the tank, call a plumber and find out what your water heater replacement options are because there’s no saving the tank at this point.

You Don’t Get as Much Hot Water as Before

If you find that you have to limit your showers because you run out of hot water sooner than you’re used to, it could mean a heating element has failed. The typical water heater has two heating elements, one at the top, the other at the bottom. When one heating element fails, the system can’t provide you with the amount of hot water as before. As mentioned, minor problems building up over time are the primary cause of water heater failure, but the good news is that you can catch these issues early with routine water heater maintenance. Call BenjaminBL Plumbing today to find out about our water heater maintenance service, regardless of whether you have an electric water heater or gas.
