Bathroom Plumbing Issues That Can Contribute To Leaks
Leaky pipes can lead to big problems for your plumbing, resulting in expensive repipe repair and extensive damage to your home. Often, excess pressure is the cause of a leak. The connections start to weaken under the pressure being placed on the pipes, and that creates an opening for water to seep through.
The pressure that can create leaks can be caused by a number of things, so it is important to work with an Oceanside repiping plumber to get your system inspected and to determine the right solutions. Your bathroom plumbing can often be the source of your leaky pipes. Here are a few problems you may uncover in your bathroom plumbing that can contribute to leaks:
Slow-Moving Drain
Clogs can make it hard for your drains to work properly. But besides the nuisance this can create, it can also put a lot of pressure on your pipes. The debris and the water become trapped in the pipe, along with air and gases, and that exerts consistent pressure on your pipes.
The bathroom is especially prone to clogs in all the drains – the tub, shower, sinks, and toilet. So much can get caught up in those drains, including hair, soap scum, personal care products, flushable wipes, and even too much toilet paper. It’s important that you take steps to keep these items out of your drains. If you ever do get a clog, hire a plumber in Oceanside instead of reaching for chemical drain cleaners, which can only damage your pipes.
Dripping Faucet
A dripping faucet might seem annoying, but you might think that you can leave it be. Most people don’t think of a drip as something to get fixed immediately (or at all). However, a steady drip is a sign that there is something off with your plumbing, and it can cause bigger problems in the long term. The drip means that pressure is being placed on your pipes, which can lead to expensive repipe repair. At a minimum, the drip is wasted water, which also translates to higher water bills, so your money is literally going down the drain.
Call a plumber in Oceanside and have that drip repaired immediately. The plumber will also inspect the system to see if there are any other underlying problems contributing to the drip that are also causing other plumbing issues.
Constantly Running Toilet
Your toilet should run for a few minutes after you flush it, while it fills up the tank. However, if your toilet keeps running, that is a sign that your tank is not filling up, and there could be a problem. The issue could be something as simple as needing a new flapper in your tank or having the flapper adjusted. Or you could have a more serious problem such as a leak in your supply line or in the tank itself.
Again, the only way to know for sure is to call a repiping plumber in Oceanside to inspect your system and determine what the problem is, as well as what might be causing the problem. By making the needed repairs early, you can save yourself a lot of money and hassle later.
Even seemingly minor plumbing problems, like leaks, can have much bigger causes and can lead to much bigger problems. It is important that you always take any plumbing issue seriously, and that you have it evaluated and repaired as soon as possible. Failure to do so could lead to bigger plumbing issues, including weakening your system and prematurely aging it.
