Plumbing issues and home ownership go together like peanut butter and jelly. Over time, the seals around pipes will decay, resulting in leaks. Clogs are also bound to happen. Let's look at five plumbing problems that your local plumber can resolve for you.

1. Leak Concerns

Small leaks can have a significant impact. According to Comfy Living, small leaks waste about 10,000 gallons of water annually. This isn't very good for the environment or your bank account. You might not mind a slight increase in your water bill, but that small amount increases over time. A professional can help determine where the leak is and get it fixed.

2. Unpleasant Smells

If you have an odd smell in your kitchen that seems to be coming from the sink, it's time to call a professional. When you do dishes, tiny bits of food get into the pipes. Most people mistakenly assume these little bits of food get washed through the pipes. However, small bits stick to the inside of your pipe. As the food molds and decays, it produces an odor. Professionals can clean your pipes to eliminate the smell.

3. Odd Tastes

You should be able to turn on your faucet and enjoy the taste of your tap water in New Jersey. However, you might not be able to do that. Faucet water that has a metallic taste is a sign that there is rust somewhere in your system. This may be in the pipes or the water heater. Professional plumbing services will conduct a thorough evaluation to find the corrosion and make replacements, so you can enjoy the taste of your water.

4. New Clogs

Clogged pipes are the most common reason people call plumbers. Clogs usually start as a slow drain. If you notice that water is draining slowly, it's essential to contact professionals before it gets worse. A complete blockage is another thing a professional can help with. They can also give you tips to help prevent future problems.

5. Toilet Issues

While most people call these professionals for problems with drains, remember they can help you with toilet problems, too. A running toilet can waste more water than a small leak. Plumbers can diagnose the problem and make repairs as necessary. They can also fix a leaking or clogged toilet.

Plumbers are the unsung heroes of modern living. They can do almost anything with your plumbing or fixtures, like your faucet or water heater. Contact Giannone Plumbing Heating & Cooling, LLC today to learn more about the services we provide.
