If you have a leak, whether it is in the kitchen or bathroom, then you have a problem. Although some issues can be fixed with a quick wrench and a YouTube video, not all fixes are quite as simple. Sometimes, if you try to fix the problem yourself, you can make it even worse. In these cases, you will need to put down the wrench and call a plumber. So, how do you know when you need to call a plumber? Read below for a few signs that it is time to call Frisco Plumbing Services. Your Sink or Shower is Slow to Drain If you are taking a shower and see a pool at your feet, then you have an issue. The same problem can occur while you are washing dishes, too. These are signs of a drainage issue . There are many reasons why this problem occurs but typically it is because something is clogging your plumbing. This can be anything from oil, a toy, excessive rice, or something else, but you will not figure it out by looking down the drain. Plumbers have special tools to help you with these kinds of clogs. Rather than use a snake and possibly damage your pipes, call a plumber instead. You Have No Water Pressure If you tend to need to take longer showers because it is difficult to get the soap off of you, then you may have poor water pressure. This is not only frustrating because you are wasting your time, but you may also be wasting water, too. This problem usually arises from a clog in your faucet’s aerator. Do not try to fix this on your own. If you do, you can potentially cause more damage than before. Calling a plumbing service will make sure this problem is eradicated quickly and efficiently. You Hear a Gurgling Noise from Your Toilet If it seems that your toilet starts gurgling every time you get in the shower, you might assume something is wrong. It can be difficult to know what it is though, as it is not something blatantly obvious. If your drain is clogged, water can get trapped in the faucet. This leads to the gurgling because your draining system is looking for air. This makes your system work harder, and also gives you the chance of having water spill into your bathroom. Calling a plumber will ensure this problem does not get worse. You Have No Water If you have ever turned on the faucet or shower only to see nothing come out, then you know the sinking feeling involved. Typically, it is not because you didn’t pay your bill but rather water is not coming into your home. The reason for this is either a blockage, a leak, or something else. Since you can’t go through every pipe to find out the problem, the easiest way to figure this out is by calling a plumber. Plumbers have experience with a lack of water in many ways and will be able to figure out the reasoning for yours.
