Hidden Plumbing Problems That Could Be Costing You A Lot of Money

Except for the water fixtures in your bathroom and kitchen, you likely have very little interaction with your plumbing on a day-to-day basis. It's important to understand, though, that there can be silent issues plaguing the pipes and fixtures in your home that could be costing you money now or may cost you money in the future. To help avoid these common pitfalls, then, here are some issues to keep an eye out for.

Leaking Toilet

A leaking toilet can have a variety of causes. Regardless of the cause, though, a
leaking toilet only ever has one result: a higher water bill. A leak in your toilet can be hard to detect unless the leak is getting worse, causing the tank to refill regularly.

If only a slight amount of water is leaking, the tank will only need a few moments to refill to the appropriate level, meaning you could miss this sound if you're not in the same room. To prevent this oversight, take a few moments after you flush to see how long it takes for water to stop running into the bowl. If this process requires more than a few minutes, it's time to enlist plumber services in Charleston, SC.

Tree Roots

Tree roots are the silent killer of buried pipes that can cause some major damage. Once the roots have set their course, it is nearly impossible for them to change direction, meaning anything standing in their way will be broken through, including pipes. If you have trees whose roots tend to grow out instead of down, such as maples, it's important to have a drain camera inspect your pipes on occasion to ensure the roots haven't caused any damage.

Leaking Pipe

Most leaks in pipes don't result in a sudden gush of water that causes a flood in your basement. Instead, most leaks are slow and steady, releasing water a drop at a time, causing damage to the surrounding materials in the process. That's why it's a good idea to inspect the areas where pipes are exposed to check for water damage.
​
Every couple of months, clear out the cabinets or closets where your pipes are
located and thoroughly inspect them with a flashlight. If you notice the slightest hint of water damage, it's time to enlist the help of plumber services in Charleston, SC.
