A professional plumber is your best shot at fixing any issues with your home’s plumbing system. Just like you wouldn’t try to fix a gas leak alone, plumbing issues require an expert eye to be set up appropriately.

However, sometimes it may not be clear that you need to get in touch with a problem. Several hidden or silent plumbing problems warrant a professional’s help.

Here are a few examples of when you need to contact a plumber:

1. No Water At All

If you are suddenly left without water in your home, and it’s not an issue with your utility bill, you should contact a plumber immediately. Many problems can affect your home’s water supply, such as a faulty plumbing system, frozen pipes, or even a burst pipe and leaking water somewhere you don’t see.

2. Low Water Pressure

Low water pressure isn’t just annoying – it can be a sign of something else with your plumbing system. Low pressure can be caused by leaks, clogged drains, or even a broken pipe.

3. No hot water

No hot water means your water heater may be broken. A good plumber can help fix your heater or help you change it if necessary.

4. Leaky Faucet

A leaky faucet increases your water bills tremendously. While in most cases, homeowners can fix this with DIY plumbing and tighten the fixture, older or broken faucets may need to be replaced entirely.

5. You Notice Water Damage

Plumbing issues don’t always make a huge splash right away. Small leaks can go undetected for a long time and eventually lead to water damage. If you notice this damage, contact a plumber immediately to find out exactly what caused it and how to fix it.

You may also need to turn off the water until the plumber arrives to prevent further damage.

6. Slow Drains

Clogs usually cause slow drains. If you can’t visibly see the obstruction, the clog will likely lower the pipe and require special removal tools. Slow lines are common in kitchen sinks and showers because of the large amounts of debris that usually go down these pipes.

7. Unpleasant Smells

Plumbing issues can also make your home smell like sewage or rotten eggs. A persistent foul odour is an excellent reason to call a plumber.
