Common plumbing problems


 Plumbing is one that you don't think much about until a fault occurs. Then you realise how essential plumbing is to maintaining the quality of life you have become accustomed to. Everyone has plumbing problems from time to time; even if the job has been done well, there are many chances for things to go wrong. This is due to the multiplicity of elements and factors involved in plumbing. 

Pressure problems

This is easily the most common problem people face when it comes to plumbing. The reason why this problem is so common is that it can be caused by several factors. Perhaps one of the pipes is leaking. Perhaps a washer has come loose. There could be something stuck in the filter. The fact that there are so many different problems that all cause a reduction in pressure makes the problem more difficult to diagnose for anyone but an experienced plumber. Do not entrust your plumbing to an amateur, as he or she could end up damaging all the pipes in the house.

Dirty water

If the water in your house has suddenly started to appear or taste dirty, it means that you have plumbing problems. A common reason is that waste water has somehow entered the system. There may also be rust somewhere in the pipes causing the change in appearance. Dirty water is relatively easy to diagnose. Since it is easy to see the contaminants in the water, it is also possible to quickly deduce where the contamination has occurred. If the water has started to smell, look or taste strange, you should have it checked immediately to make sure it is not something harmful to your body.

Problems with hot water

Often, hot water no longer comes out of the taps. Other times it is too hot. One of the most frustrating problems when it comes to hot water is when the water is not mixed correctly. Do you know when some old houses have ice-cold or hot water? It is because there is a problem in the plumbing system. Have it checked by a plumber, and you can easily adjust the water temperature to your liking.

Leaks

The first problem is that a small leak slowly turns into a huge leak. Once pipes start corroding from the inside due to exposure from the leak, there is a lot of expense to deal with. Water leaks also cause a lot of damage to the house. Everything made of wood will be ruined. If there are electrical sockets in the vicinity of the leak, it can create a huge safety risk.

Troubleshooting water heater problems: Noisy pipes

 Noisy pipes can be caused by problems with the water heater. When you start hearing noises in the water pipes, these can be caused by air or lack of air, obstructions and blockages in the water line. Here are some steps you can take to identify the problem. Water hammer Water hammer is a dull sound that results from the sudden pressurisation of the water line caused by the rapid closing of a tap or other water valve. The water rises rapidly, causing a loud hammering sound in the pipes. This damages the pipes over time. Water hammer only occurs when water is not flowing. You can rule out water hammer if you hear the noise while the water is flowing. Shut off the water supply to your house and drain the water from the pipes by opening a low tap, such as an outside tap or a tub. Turn off all taps and turn the water back on in the house by opening a tap and closing it. If you do not hear the clunk noise, the problem is a water hammer.
