Common Plumbing and heating problems

Plumbing problems can be a headache for homeowners. Whether your home’s plumbing is old or new or affects your daily routine, it’s important to know about common issues that come up on the job and what you can do to avoid them. Here are a few common plumbing and heating problems.


Leaky Faucets

Leaky faucets are inconvenient, expensive, and wasteful. These drips may occasionally be brought on by a worn-out washer or O ring, both of which are easily replaceable. Other times, the drip may be the result of rust or even poor faucet installation.


When your faucet drips:

  • To see how much that drip might be costing you, use a drip calculator.
  • If a straightforward washer or O ring repair doesn't stop the leakage, let a skilled plumber fix the issue!


Running Toilets

Do you realize how much water a running toilet may waste each day—up to 200 gallons? What a waste of water it is! The following are the most frequent problems that result in running toilets:


  • Refill tube issues
  • Worn-out flush valves or flapper seals
  • Flapper chains of the wrong size
  • Cracked handles on the toilets


Slow or Clogged Drains

If drainage issues are left unattended, they could result in plumbing disasters and even health risks! As a whole:


  • In most cases, a sluggish or clogged drain in a house indicates that the issue is specific to that location. These blockages typically occur as a result of hair, soap, and other foreign materials slowly accumulating in a drain over time. The best way to handle this problem may be with routine drain cleaning!


  • Multiple slow or clogged drains are a warning sign that you might have sewer system issues. When you detect any slow drains in your home, call a plumber from Gill Brother to prevent a sewage backup, particularly if the issue begins with the drains in the lowest part of your property.
