Most homeowners deal with clogs every now and then. However, if your drains are frequently backed up, there may be a larger problem at hand. Over time, things like grease, oil, soap scum, and hair can build up inside your pipes. This may develop into a blockage that prevents wastewater from streaming through.
Not only do blockages clog your drains, but they may also damage the pipes. If the damage is severe, it can cause leaks. Hidden leaks encourage mold and mildew growth, especially under sinks or in basements.
In addition to observing your home for mold growth, keep your nose and ears peeled. Pipe blockages often cause foul, musty odors, especially around the sinks or yard. They may also lead to banging, gurgling, or rattling noises.
Another sign to look for is water quality problems. Leaks can cause low water pressure, while rust or corrosion may lead to discolored water. If there’s a problem with your water heater, meanwhile, you might experience a lack of hot water. These problems are more than just an inconvenience; they can compromise safety by affecting your drinking water.
Finally, pay close attention to your energy and water bills. Leaks cause gallons of water loss, which directly impacts your monthly bills. Faulty water heaters will use excessive energy. If your costs rise unexpectedly, there might be a problem that you’re unaware of.
