Clogged Drains
Many people assume that if an over the counter drain cleaning product is poured down a clogged drain that the drain is safe and unclogged forever. This can be true in some cases, like on a minor clog in the shower. However if you have a large clog in your plumbing system, an over the counter drain cleaning product can be bad. It can also be bad if pour the solution in your toilet or if you have plastic pipes in your home. The cleaning product can eat away at porcelain and plastic, which is something you definitely don’t want happening to your home’s plumbing system!
Dysfunctional Water Heater
Water heaters can be tricky to manage and can have all types of issues. Whether your water heater stopped heating water, or it over heated from heating too much water, it’s best to call Mr. Rooter to assess exactly why your water heater is not functioning properly.
Low Water Pressure
Low water pressure can be the sign of sediment and other hard water deposits building up in your faucets and showerheads. While this is not a horrible plumbing issue to have, it still requires a professional to visit your home and remove the deposits. Low water pressure can also mean that there is a leak somewhere in your plumbing system. Don’t overlook low water pressure in your home. It can save you from a potential flood and save you some money if you choose to call a professional plumber.
