Many homeowners depend on their plumbing to continually work without issue but most people only tend to realize that there’s a problem with their plumbing when it’s too late. Recognizing the early signs of failing pipes or that you could be experiencing a plumbing issue in the future can be important. If you can intervene early, it might be possible for you to prevent serious repair problems with your plumbing in the future. Here are some of the signs and symptoms of failing pipes so that you can be prepared.
Your Hearing Some Interesting Sounds From The Faucets
If you start to hear some weird sounds every time you turn on the faucets like a screeching noise, this can indicate that there is regular air passing through your pipes along with the water. If there’s extra air coming through your pipes it’s likely that there’s something wrong with the bleed-off system in your pipes. This can be fixed by a plumber and it’s often wise to take a look at this system before it causes problems later on.
Lower Water Pressure
This can be a very common issue especially in homes that are older. It’s often caused by a series of issues such as a leak in the system or a clog in your pipes. It’s been a while since somebody has inspected your pipes and there’s a series of problems with low water pressure, this could indicate that there is a leak or a pipe has been poorly sized for the area you need it. A quick piping swap out or fixing up a clog could be all that’s required to get your water pressure back.
Unpleasant Smells Coming Up From The Drains
If you’re getting some nasty smells coming up from your drains there’s an indication that there are items in the drainpipe which are decaying. If you’re getting the smell from your kitchen sink food waste could be the problem. If you’re getting smells of other areas of your home from your plumbing or accessories, it could be a sign that there is a sewer line that is damaged. A second thing that could be happening is a backup of sewer gas in your pipes. This can occur if you are regularly smelling rotten eggs throughout your home. A professional plumber may need to come into your home if there are sewer line issues.
