Leaky faucets
That constant dripping sound is enough to drive anyone insane, but so is looking at a water bill that is a lot higher than it should be. Did you know that a leaky faucet can waste upwards of 10,000 gallons of water a year? That’s like wasting enough water to do 270 loads of laundry! That’s a lot of water, and therefore a lot of money that you’re wasting. Studies have shown that a leak can cost you 10% of your water bill, which can equal hundreds of dollars each year.
Low water pressure
It might not seem like a big deal, but low water pressure can often end up costing a lot of money. The direct effects of it might not be so expensive – it’s the things that often cause it that make costs add up. The causes of low water pressure could be problems with your water heater, leaky pipes, or other, bigger issues with the pipes in the ground. It’s best to get the professionals over ASAP to figure things out before they get out of hand.
Drain clogs
Simple clogs sometimes just go away with water, can be fixed by a plunger, or can be washed away with some chemicals. Other, more-severe clogs will require a snake and some professional know-how. If you have multiple clogs in the drain, then it could be the sign of bigger issues, and the problems will only grow exponentially from there.
Spending money on plumbing is never fun, but it is a necessity if you want to keep your home functioning properly. The thing that you really don’t want to do is spend way more than you have to. Letting problems go can only allow them to get bigger. These 3 plumbing problems get expensive very quickly. Make sure to get a professional plumber to address them.
