4 Subtle Signs You Need Plumbing Services

1. Gurgling sound coming from one appliance while using another – This is a sign that you should call our pros for plumbing services in Durham ASAP. If you’re hearing a bubbling sound from your shower drain while you’re flushing the toilet then this is a bad sign. It means that the air in your plumbing system isn’t ventilating because of a clog and pressure is building, so act swiftly and give us a call.

2. Cold flashes in your hot shower – If you’re experiencing little bursts of cold water during your hot shower, you might not make much of it. But this means there’s a leak in the water line that’s responsible for bringing cold water into your hot water heater.

3. Your faucet that won’t stop dripping – This ceaseless dripping can be very annoying to your ears and your wallet. Call in our plumbing experts pronto because if you wait then you’ll be literally throwing money into your drain.

4. That toilet won’t stop – There are a few DIY fixes that can save you a visit from a plumbing pro. If your chain is unhooked, then simply hook it up. It could also be that your chain is too long and stopping the flapper from sealing properly, you could just move it out of the way. If neither of those issues are the problem then call in a professional as you could be wasting a lot of water.
