Tips To Troubleshooting Plumbing Issues
- Check under sinks, around fixtures, and near pipe joints for moisture.
- Even a small drip can waste litres of water and cause hidden damage over time. Address leaks immediately to avoid costly repairs later.
- Often caused by a worn washer or O-ring that can be replaced in minutes.
- Fluctuating or low water pressure could indicate a blockage, a leak, or problems with your water supply. Installing a water pressure gauge can help you detect issues early.
- Remove debris using a plunger or drain snake before resorting to chemicals.
