Most homeowners eventually run into the same handful of plumbing issues. Here's a quick overview of the most common ones and where to look for more detail.
Clogged Drains
Slow or blocked drains are probably the most familiar household plumbing complaint. See our drain cleaning page for common causes.
Running or Leaking Toilets
A toilet that runs constantly or leaks at the base is usually caused by a worn internal part or a failing wax ring seal. Our toilet repair page covers the usual suspects.
Dripping Faucets
A steady drip often comes down to a worn washer, cartridge, or O-ring — see our faucet repair page.
Water Heater Trouble
Inconsistent hot water, strange noises, or a leaking tank are common signs it's time for a repair or replacement conversation.
