Greensboro Plumbing Repair by Berico

Watch for These Common Plumbing Issues

A plumber like Berico serving the Greensboro area is going to see the same issues come up time and time again in homes throughout the region. To make sure your plumbing system is working properly – and to get prompt help if it isn’t – watch for these common problems.

• Bad smells. A classic sign that something has gone wrong with your plumbing is a bad smell coming from part of your home. If you can’t assign blame for the bad smell on your own, let the team at Berico help figure it out.
• Elevated water bills. If your water bills are climbing and you don’t know why, it could be due to an unseen leak that is allowing water to run free. That not only hurts when you pay the bill, but the leak can also do serious damage.
• Sound of running water. Along the same lines, if you hear water running – but don’t have anything on – there is a leak that needs to be discovered and resolved.
• Seeing or smelling mold. Mold will only grow when it has moisture available in a dark place, such as under your kitchen sink if there is a leak to supply the water.
• Low water pressure. A healthy plumbing system will deliver plenty of water pressure to every tap in the house. If that isn’t happening, get help from Berico promptly.
• Rust-colored water. Old pipes that have corroded significantly can leech rust into the water, and you’ll notice that your supply has a tinged appearance when it comes out of the tap.
• Poor water heater performance. It’s frustrating not to get the kind of hot water supply you expect when turning on a faucet or your shower. A sluggish hot water supply, or no hot water at all, means you need plumbing help.
