You probably don’t realize it – and hopefully won’t have to find out the hard way – but there are dozens of reasons to call a plumber. Not for a calzone recipe (unless he’s your brother-in-law), not to place a bet on Seabiscuit (unless he’s your bookie), and not for tomorrow’s weather. Besides, all he’ll tell you is “mostly wet conditions”.
Those aside, here’s when a phone call to your favorite plumber is probably – sometimes of necessity – a good idea.
Dripping Faucets
These seem harmless enough, especially if there’s no distracting noise. But oh, can they ever waste water. Even a slow dripping faucet can waster a gallon a day. That’s a knock on the environment, and a dent in your water bill. The point is, get it fixed as quickly as possible.
Running Toilets
Did you know a running toilet could easily waste up to 200 gallons of water per day? Most of the time it can be an easy fix, but sometimes you just don’t have the tools, time or patience. The right plumber has an abundance of all three.
Slow Drains
Ever wonder why a slow drain gets even slower and slower? Because the gunk – and we do mean gunk – that’s piling up inside them is like a beaver-built dam. Eventually everything just stops. So, when your DIY efforts produce short-term results but the problem keeps returning, save yourself the trouble and next time call a plumber.
Leaky Pipes
Here in Northern Ohio our weather turns hot and cold with amazing regularity. Such twists and turn also place added wear and tear on your metal pipes. Keep a watchful eye out for wet spots on the ground or ceiling and, the sooner you spot one, the sooner you need to call a plumber before more serious damage can occur.
Water Heater
