Common Residential Plumbing Problems

Here we have listed down some of the most common residential plumbing problems that many have already experienced in their home.

Low Water Pressure

Once that you are experiencing that you water that flows on your faucet or shower is just a trickle instead of a gush, then this means that you have low water pressure. This problem has nothing to do with your pipes but instead, it has something to do with your water supply. One common reason for a low water pressure is when there is a debris or dirt build-up or some sediments in the faucet aerators.

This problem is very much annoying most especially if you are taking a shower or you are actually washing dirty dishes in the kitchen.

Leaky Pipes

Leaky pipes can become a danger in the plumbing problems. This is because many people would not recognize it immediately until the leak is already severe. In the entire household, the sink and the bathroom are the most common area that can get leaks because these are the most used areas in the house.

For you to be able to prevent leaky pipes in your house, it is always best that you get a plumber to inspect all your pipes. This is because these leaks can become costly. Leaks on your pipes usually take place at the joints and for you to fix this, you may need to contact an expert.

Dripping Faucet

Having a dripping faucet may affect your water bill because this can produce gallons of water every year if this continues.
