If you notice water stains on walls, ceilings, or floors, hear the sound of running water when no taps are on, or experience unusually high water bills, these may be signs of hidden leaks. A professional plumber can use advanced detection methods to locate and fix the issue before it causes serious damage.

It’s recommended to schedule plumbing maintenance at least once a year. Regular inspections can prevent major issues like pipe corrosion, leaks, and clogged drains. Maintenance also ensures your water heater and other fixtures are operating efficiently, saving you from costly repairs.

Common reasons for insufficient hot water include a faulty thermostat, sediment buildup in the tank, or a failing heating element. If adjusting the thermostat doesn’t solve the problem, it’s best to call a plumber to diagnose and repair the issue.

To prevent clogged drains, avoid pouring grease, oil, or coffee grounds down the sink, use drain strainers to catch debris, and run hot water after each use to keep the pipes clear. Regular professional drain cleaning can also help prevent blockages.

A constantly running toilet is often caused by a faulty flapper valve, float, or fill tube. Replacing the flapper or adjusting the float can typically resolve the issue, but if the problem persists, a plumber should inspect the internal components.
