🧰 What Are the Most Common Plumbing Issues?
At Peter’s Plumbing, we’ve seen it all—here are the top questions we answer in our Plumbing FAQs:
1. Why Is My Faucet Dripping?
Usually, it’s a worn-out washer or O-ring. While this seems small, a dripping tap can waste over 3,000 gallons a year!
2. Why Does My Sink Drain So Slowly?
The usual suspects: hair, grease, and soap scum. Try an eco-friendly drain cleaner first—but if it’s persistent, give us a call.
3. Why Is My Water Heater Making Noise?
Sediment builds up inside the tank over time, causing banging or rumbling. Flushing the tank yearly helps.
4. What Causes a Running Toilet?
Flapper valve problems are common. Sometimes it’s the chain or the fill valve. We can fix this in a snap.
5. How Can I Tell If I Have a Hidden Leak?
Unusual water bills, moldy smells, or water stains on walls or ceilings are your cues.
