Dripping Faucets and Running Toilets

Worn cartridges, washers, flappers and fill valves cause most drips and running toilets. They waste water continuously and are usually inexpensive to fix - but a running toilet left for months can waste a very large amount of water, so do not put it off indefinitely.

Clogged and Slow Drains

Hair and soap in bathrooms, grease and food in kitchens, and roots or scale in main lines are the main culprits. Recurring clogs in the same drain deserve a camera inspection, because the pipe itself may be damaged.

Leaks - Visible and Hidden

Visible leaks at faucets, toilets and supply lines are straightforward. Hidden leaks show as rising bills, stains, musty smells or warm floor spots, and need leak detection before repair. Both should be addressed promptly to limit damage.

Low Water Pressure

Pressure low at one fixture usually means an aerator, cartridge or supply issue at that fixture. Pressure low everywhere can mean a pressure regulator, main supply or widespread pipe corrosion problem, especially in older homes.

Water Heater Problems

No hot water, short hot-water supply, noise, leaks and rusty hot water are the common water heater complaints in Springfield, where hard-water sediment accelerates wear. Regular flushing and anode checks extend heater life.

Sewer Backups and Smells

Multiple fixtures backing up, gurgling toilets and sewer odours point to the main sewer line. Stop using water, avoid contact with sewage, and call for emergency help. A camera inspection identifies roots, cracks or collapse.

Frozen Pipes in Winter

Exposed pipes in crawl spaces, garages and exterior walls are most at risk during hard freezes. Insulation, heat and knowing your main shut-off location are the best defences. If a pipe freezes, do not force it - call for help before it bursts as it thaws.
