5 Signs You Need Professional Plumbing Repair Services

McMahon Plumbing & Heating knows how much pride homeowners in the Greater Boston area take in their homes. Your passion is something we admire, and we understand that sometimes, you just want to take on your home repairs yourself. We also know that when it comes to major home systems, like plumbing repairs, what seems like a “quick fix” can become overwhelming.

For those who are wondering when it’s time to consider professional plumbing repairs, here are a few of the signs you should look out for:

1. Constant Low Water Pressure

If you’re consistently dealing with low water pressure in your shower, faucets, and other water-based appliances, it might be time to call a plumber. Some common reasons for this problem are hidden leaks, clogged pipes, and mineral buildup in your water lines.

2. High Water Bills

Are there sudden, unexplained spikes in your water bill? There could be a hidden leak. The potential leak could be anything from a running toilet to a slab leak. If the leak persists, it can cause damage to your home, so it’s important to identify it as soon as possible.

3. Water Stains on Wall or Floors

Water stains or damp areas could mean there’s a leak hidden somewhere in your walls, floors, or ceilings. It’s important to find the cause of the water stains quickly to avoid mold, mildew, and eventual structural damage.

4.  Drop in Hot Water Supply

Is your water heater straining to keep up with your hot water needs? If so, there are several likely culprits, like a faulty heating element, thermostat malfunctions, or sediment buildup.

5. Persistently Clogged Drains

If DIY solutions for your clogged drains only bring temporary relief, there might be a larger underlying issue. You could be facing a blockage somewhere in your sewer lines, which is a task that a professional should handle.
