When it comes to bathroom plumbing, water that is not draining, too weak, dripping, running, or leaking can also indicate more serious problems. Fortunately, John the Plumber, Ottawa plumbing company, has been in the industry for over ten years and is experienced in fixing the top 5 most common bathroom plumbing problems:
Whether in the tub or the sink, slow draining water is not only a major plumbing problem but also indicative that if repairs are neglected any longer, more expensive damages will occur. Slow draining tubs and sinks usually mean that hair, debris, or other items are clogging the drains; fortunately this is an easy fix for a qualified plumber.
Low water pressure most commonly occurs in sink faucets due to calcium deposits that gradually build up in the aerator over time. This problem can be frustrating to homeowners because a blocked aerator means reduced pressure for both hot and cold water.
Another common problem that can occur with faucets are drips. Not only can this increase a water bill significantly, but also homeowners who sleep next to their bathrooms may be tormented by continuous drips in the middle of the night. As time passes, a neglected dripping faucet can also result in worn out/corroded washers, and as a result, more comprehensive repairs.
A running toilet can cause a major inconvenience for homeowners who have only one fixture in their entire home. Regrettably, this is one of the most common plumbing problems plumbers see in home bathrooms. But there is some good news – the reason that most toilets run is because the flapper valve no longer fits properly. Remedying an improperly fit flapper valve takes relatively little effort; however, sometimes the problem is more serious and will require the services of a professional plumbing company.
Puddles of water in the bathroom are easy enough to identify and are indicative of leaky pipes. Since the cause of many leaks is at the joints of pipes, many stores sell over the counter joint fillers and fitting compounds as a temporary solution. Although this will prevent a leak for the time being, it is necessary to call in a plumber as soon as possible; otherwise the problem will only get worse with time.
