What are the most common plumbing problems?

Plumbing issues can range in severity, but some of the most common plumbing problems include:

• leaking pipes
• a backed-up sewer line
• a water heater that isn’t working efficiently

Unfortunately, plumbing repairs can be costly due to the fact that plumbing is often inside walls and ceilings so reaching the problem can prove to be tricky. If you are experiencing plumbing problems it’s best to call in an experienced Austin, TX plumber as soon as possible to properly identify and resolve the issue.

How can I prevent plumbing problems?

Preventative plumbing maintenance is the key to avoiding plumbing repairs. A few minutes of maintenance a month can keep plumbing issues from escalating and save you the time and cost of plumbing repairs down the road.

Some preventative plumbing tasks include:

• examining pipes for damage
• checking faucets for leaks and corrosion
• running water through infrequently used plumbing fixtures
• watching for slow drains
• testing shut-off valves
• turning off outside spigots in cold weather months
• inspecting your water heater annually

Taking these simple steps can help you identify potential plumbing problems before they spiral into more costly repairs.

How do I find a good plumber?

Finding a good plumber isn't as difficult as it might seem. There are a few steps you can take to ensure you secure an experienced and dependable plumbing technician. First, ask your family and friends for recommendations. If they have worked with someone good, they can provide valuable insights into the quality of their work. Secondly, research different plumbers online by reading reviews and checking references. You might also explore what sort of plumbing certifications and licenses there are in your area. Finally, never forget to get quotes from different contractors so that you can compare prices and services provided. Putting in the effort upfront will mean fewer headaches (and costly repairs!) later on when dealing with your home's plumbing.
