Leaking pipes can cause havoc on your entire home if not addressed quickly. As with any serious water damage to your home, leaking pipes can cause stained or warped walls, flooding, and mildew and mold issues. In order to address leaky pipes, you must identify the source of the leak and correct the issue. A couple of key components to addressing leaky pipes are to check the pressure, tighten fittings, seal joints, and insulate pipes if needed. In hiring a professional plumber from the Smith & Keene team, we can see plumbing issues and identify the source of the problems with pipes that are missed by the average homeowner.

No homeowner wants to flush money down the drain with a running or leaking toilet. There are several plumbing issues that can cause problems for your toilet. If your toilet is running constantly it could be what is called a “phantom flush.” This issue is often a result of a leak or faulty equipment in the toilet tank. If the bowl of your toilet is slow to empty or has a weak flush, then there could be debris issues in flush holes that require clearing. There are several seals on a toilet that enable it to function properly. If one of the seals is cracked, broken, or leaking, it could be a smaller problem that turns into a big one quickly. The seal may be easily repaired or replaced or a new toilet install may be required.

If you are experiencing one of these common plumbing issues with your toilet, call Smith & Keene’s expert plumbing team to come out and assess and repair the problem.
