Common Plumbing Questions That You Need To Know


Why Does My Toilet Continue to Run After I Flush It? • This is one of the most common plumbing problems. It’s usually caused by an old rubber flap that doesn’t shut properly at the bottom of the toilet. • When these rubber flaps get old, they tend to warp and let water leak through. That’s why you can hear the water filling up occasionally. • It’s because water has leaked out, so the toilet needed to pump in more water to fill up the tank.


Why is My Water Bill So Expensive? • You probably have a leak somewhere. Leaky toilets are often one of the biggest wastes of water that a house will ever have. • Besides that, check your water heaters and your faucets. You might have a leak. • If you have a lawn, you could also be overwatering your grass and plants without realizing it if your sprinkler system is broken.


Do I Need a Plumbing Inspection Before I Purchase a New Home? • Usually, a normal home inspection is good, but if you’re buying a pretty old home, then it would be wise to get a plumbing inspection.


Why Is My Water Pressure So Low? • Low water pressure could result in your toilets not flushing properly, which means waste might be finding its way back into your home. • A trusted plumber can help you determine why you have low water pressure, as well as what you can do to resolve the issue.
