Quick Checklist:     Five Signs it’s Time to Call the Plumber

Here is a look at five signs that it is time to stop what you are doing and contact a local plumber for emergency repairs.

1. Low Water Pressure
   There are quite a few reasons that you might have low water pressure in your kitchen and bathrooms. This could be the result of nothing more than a clogged aerator, or it could mean that there is a burst pipe under your home. It could also mean that there could be a leak somewhere in your plumbing line. However, if you have good pressure in your kitchen, but not your bathroom you at least know that you have an issue with a pipeline that leads to that area.
2. Leaking Pipes
   There are few home maintenance issues that are as destructive as a leaking pipe. Water will quickly begin to damage everything that it comes into contact with, and this can result in mold spores, pest infestations, cracked foundation slabs, and a variety of other problems. Contacting a local plumbing company such as Knights Plumbing & Drain will allow you to quickly take care of this issue and prevent more expensive problems down the road.
3. Multiple Clogged Drains
   Homeowners can often take care of a single clogged drain or toilet themselves, but multiple clogged drains mean that there are issues with the primary sewage line. Unfortunately, over-the-counter drain cleaners and plumbing snakes will not be powerful enough to remove clogs farther down in the system. Your plumber will need to use specialized tools such as inspection cameras and water jetting machines to unclog sewage lines.
4. Sediment in Your Water
   Every faucet and shower in your home should produce clear and odorless water at all times. Families who notice any changes to the appearance, taste, or smell of their water should immediately contact a plumber to discover the source of the problem. Issues such as sediment in your water could be the result of damaged filters, corroded pipes, or burst pipes. It is also not the greatest kind of water to be showering with on a regular basis.
5. The Smell of Sewage
   While modern residential plumbing systems are designed to last for quite some time, there will come a point when they can no longer withstand high internal pressure, tree roots, and rapidly changing temperatures. When a sewer line cracks, homeowners will often notice unpleasant odors out in the yard or inside their basement. This should be something you want to take care of immediately as the smell of sewer water in your home in unpleasant and unhealthy for you and anyone else that is living with you.

When it comes to your home’s plumbing system, it is always better to err on the side of caution. Addressing these five issues early on will help you avoid major damage to your home and property in the coming months.
