How to Tell If Your Plumbing Is Bad
Hidden leaks, failing shutoffs, and aging pipes often show subtle symptoms before a major failure. Here’s how to spot early warning signs and protect your home.
Common Red Flags
Unexplained water bills, musty odors, wall/ceiling stains, and sounds of running water with fixtures off often indicate hidden leaks. Rust or green corrosion on valves and supply lines signals metal fatigue.
Drainage and Pressure Issues
Slow drains suggest grease, hair, or root intrusion; recurring backups may call for hydro jetting. Low pressure can stem from clogged aerators, faulty PRVs, or line leaks.
Water Quality Changes
Discoloration, metallic taste, or gritty residue can point to pipe corrosion or sediment buildup in the water heater. A quick inspection can pinpoint the source.
