5 Silent Signs Your House has a Major Plumbing Problem

Most people are well aware that their house has a plumbing problem if they have a leaking faucet. The evidence is clear and straightforward in this situation. Still, there are many signs of a broken toilet that you can easily overlook.

So, what are some of these signs? Here are five of the least obvious signs that your house has a major plumbing problem.

1. High Water Bills

If you’re noticing that your water bill is higher than usual, there’s a good chance that you have a leak somewhere in your home. The most common reason for this is that there is a leak somewhere in your house. If you have a leak, this could be coming from anywhere in your house, including the toilet, sink or shower.

Fixing a water leak in your home can save you 10% a year on your water bills. Therefore, it is important to remember that small leaks can add up over time and end up costing you more money than you would like to pay.

2. Sewer Smell

If you notice a musty, sewage-like odor coming from your sink, shower or toilet, it could be an indication of a problem with your drains or sewer system. The smell could be caused by bacteria buildup in the pipes or by-products from water that contains more minerals than usual (like hard water).

It is usually strongest when it’s humid outside and after heavy rains because this can cause excess moisture in your pipes which can lead to mold growth if left untreated.

3. Low Water Pressure

Low water pressure can be caused by several different things, including clogs in your pipes or an issue with your well pump. If you notice low water pressure during any time of day, it’s best to call in an expert to find out what’s causing it.

You may be able to fix the problem yourself with some maintenance and cleaning, but if not, you risk damaging your pipes and appliances.

4. Mold and Mildew

You know those annoying black spots you get on your shower curtain? Those are actually mold spores and mildew growing on the bathtub or shower stall walls, which can cause serious health problems if they’re not removed immediately! If you think mold is developing in your shower space, don’t wait around until it gets worse — call in a professional plumber immediately so they can remove the mold and prevent further damage from occurring.

5. Gurgling Drains

The sound of water running down the drain can be relaxing and soothing. But if you hear gurgling noises coming from your drains, this could mean there’s something blocking them. If you’ve been using harsh cleaners around your sink, this could cause buildup in the pipes and lead to clogs over time. If you hear loud gurgling sounds coming from your garbage disposal, turn off the power immediately before something gets stuck inside!
