Top 5 Common Plumbing Problems In Houston
Clogged Toilet
Often, a toilet will clog if large objects are flushed
down the toilet, or if there is a buildup of waste. This is one of the
worse plumbing problems to encounter. Sometimes you can fix it on your own
with a plunger but often you will need to call a plumber in Houston to fix this
issue for you.
Leaky Faucet
Is one of your faucets constantly dripping? When your
faucet is in the off position does the dripping stop? If not, you
definitely have a leaky faucet, which is a very common plumbing problem in
most homes in the Houston area.
Don’t ignore a leaky faucet for too long, as the excess water
can cause water damage, mold, and can cause your water bill to skyrocket. The
main cause of a leaky faucets, is often a worn out washer that is inside
of the knob to your sink, tub, or shower valve. Call us and we will check to
see if the washers in your home are worn out and if they need to be
replaced.
Running Toilet
A running toilet is another common plumbing
problem. Usually, toilets run when the valve inside the tank is allowing
water flow from the tank to the bowl of the toilet, thus causing the
toilet to keep running. We suggest you turn the water off by turning the knob
at the back of the toilet and call a professional plumber. Letting the toilet
keep running can drastically increase your water bill.
Your bathtub may not be draining after you take a bath
or you sink may have standing water after you wash the dishes, Or is your
bathroom sink clogged after you or your husband shave? Or maybe it is your
shower that seems to be taking a very long time to drain and has you
standing in dirt water. If his is the case, you have a common plumbing
problem… known as a clogged drain.
Drains are often susceptible to a large amount of
wear and tear as they are used every single day. Big and small items
that go down the drain often get stuck, hindering the water from
leaving your home thus causing a clog. The great news is

help. Houston Plumbing has unclogged many, many drains in homes throughout the
Houston Metro Area.

with little to no water pressure. Having Low/no water pressure
in your shower/bath or sink is another common plumbing problem.

buildup which is prevent the as much water to flow through your showerhead.
