Do you have a plumbing problem? Sometimes plumbing issues are easy to spot, while others are not so simple.

Here are some common red flags that could signal it’s time to call a professional:

• Wet spots on the floor: If you notice wet spots on your floor, particularly near sinks, toilets, or other plumbing fixtures, it could be a sign of a leaking pipe. 
• Discolored water: When you turn on your taps and notice brown, yellow, or rusty-looking water, it indicates a potential problem in your plumbing system. 
• Low water pressure: Low water pressure can be caused by various factors, including clogs, leaks, or problems with the main water line. 
• Slow draining sinks and showers: The accumulation of grease and debris like hair, paper, or soap scum can clog up your pipes and obstruct the flow of water. Persistent or recurring slow drainage could indicate a larger issue that requires professional attention.
• Slow running water: Issues such as mineral buildup or pipe corrosion can restrict water flow and affect the performance of your fixtures. 
• Lush green grass: If you notice that specific areas of your lawn are greener and healthier than others, it could mean that there’s a leak in your sewer or drain lines. 
• Foul odors: Unpleasant odors emanating from your drains or toilets can be a warning sign of sewer line issues.
