Small plumbing troubles that cost big in the long run

Small plumbing troubles that cost big in the long run

How much trouble can a small leak really be? Is a backed-up toilet more than just an inconvenience? As a homeowner, if you’ve ever asked yourself those questions, call a plumber. Just because the plumbing issue is minor doesn’t mean it’s not a sign of more significant trouble or potentially costly repairs. 

Your Guy Plumbing & Drainage in Surrey is a professional, full-service plumbing company. They share what seemingly minor plumbing issues can actually cost big if left unrepaired:

Dripping faucets or running toilets

Does your faucet tend to drip now and then, or does your toilet run longer than it should after flushing? These may seem like minor inconveniences, but both are types of leaks that can quickly turn costly. A toilet chain caught under the flapper can waste an additional 3,000 litres per month. If it’s a leaky faucet, even a single drop per second can waste upwards of 2,500 litres a month. For a year, that’s a lot of wasted water and even higher monthly water bills. If you don’t know how to fix a leaky faucet, call Your Guy Plumbing & Drainage for the repair. 

Backed up toilet

Does your toilet tend to back up frequently? If so, call in a plumber to help. It could be a sign that your septic tank needs to be emptied or that an encroaching tree root is affecting the sewer pipelines. Overfilling septic tanks can quickly lead to emergency emptying, which you want to avoid. Similarly, check outside for trees near your home. Removing a problem tree may be more cost-effective than paying for a burst pipeline if tree roots are the root issue. 

Lowered water pressure

It may not be immediately noticeable, but even lowered water pressure signifies trouble. As mineral deposits build up in your water heater and lead to clogs, it causes that drop in water pressure. It could also be a sign in the case of an older water heater that rust is building up. To avoid the cost of a complete water heater replacement, call in a professional to have your water heater flushed out. That will clear away any buildup and help prolong the life of your plumbing.
