Damaged pipes might go unnoticed for a considerable duration if you are unfamiliar with the signs, potentially causing significant harm. However, our team at Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Rockwall is here to assist you in recognizing the crucial indicators of plumbing problems. If you encounter any of the following signs, consider it a pressing situation and contact us immediately.
Abnormal Water Noises
Unusual water sounds, particularly dripping noises from a faucet not in use, might indicate a potential leak. The rooms you seldom visit, such as a guest washroom, are where leaks may go undetected for an extended period.
Signs of Corrosion or Water Accumulation
Keep an eye out for signs of corrosion or water gathering around the base of your faucets, sink drains, bathtub or shower drains, and the underfloor area of a faucet. These signs should spur immediate action as they might be precursors to more significant issues.
Unexplained Increment in Water Bills
An unanticipated surge in your water bills could result from an unnoticed leak or other plumbing glitches. If you discern such a situation, sift through your house for signs of leaks or seek professional help.
Noisy Faucets
Faucets emitting unusual squeaky sounds when turned on or off or those presenting resistance while opening or closing could indicate a more severe concern like a leak.
Presence of Mold or Unpleasant Smells
Occasionally, the scent alone can expose the presence of a leak before any visible or auditory symptoms. If you detect a moldy or rotting food odor, it's likely because of a leak, and immediate inspection is advisable.
