Signs You Need a Plumbing Repair
Not sure if your issue is a quick fix or requires professional attention?
Here are the most common warning signs that it is time to call for a repair:
- You see drips or puddles. Water pooling around the base of your toilet, under the sink, or dripping from a faucet requires attention before it causes more significant problems.
- You hear water running when nothing's on. If you can hear water running when all your faucets and appliances are turned off, you probably have a hidden leak somewhere in your pipes.
- Your toilet wobbles or feels loose. A toilet that rocks when you sit on it means the bolts or the wax ring at its base have failed. Left alone, this can lead to leaks and damage to your subfloor.
- You've lost your hot water. Whether it occurs suddenly or gradually, a lack of hot water typically indicates an issue with your water heater, often due to a failing heating element or thermostat problem.
- Your faucet whistles or bangs. Strange noises, such as whistling or banging (known as water hammer), that occur when you turn on a faucet can indicate a loose washer or pressure issues in your supply lines.
- You smell sewer odors. Persistent sewer gas smells coming from your drains usually indicate a problem with the drain trap or a more serious issue with your sewer line.

When Is a Repair Not Enough?
Sometimes, a simple repair is all that is needed. In other cases, however, a repair is only a temporary "patch" on a much larger problem. It is essential to know when to stop repairing and start considering replacement.
You should consider replacement if you notice these trends:
- Frequent, recurring repairs: Are you calling for service for the same water heater or toilet multiple times a year? The cumulative cost of these repairs can quickly add up to more than the cost of a new, reliable unit.
- The age of your system: A standard tank water heater has a lifespan of about 10-12 years. If your unit is older than that, replacing it is often a wiser investment than repairing it. Likewise, if your home's pipes are over 50 years old, they are living on borrowed time.
- Widespread problems: A single leaky pipe is usually just a repair. But if you’re dealing with multiple leaks throughout your home, low water pressure everywhere, and discolored water from every faucet, the problem is bigger than one pipe. These signs indicate widespread corrosion, and the lasting solution is a whole-home repiping.
