Most Common Household Water Issues:

• Dripping or running faucets
• Running toilets
• Clogged Toilets
• Clogged drains
• Leaky pipes
• Low water pressure

Faucets are more likely to need a repair or replacement over time due to use and age. The most common problems include dripping or running, low water pressure, rust, and mineral buildup. If a problem is only starting to appear give us a call at 905-699-8898 as most often it can be fixed without replacement.  The sooner the problem is fixed the less cost (due to lost water).

A running toilet is another common headache for household owners. It happens when the flapper valve, fill tube, and/or float fail to fit properly or become loose, mostly due to wear down or buildup of a calcium or lime deposit. If you have noticed that your toilet lets through water when it should not give us a call and we’ll take a look.

If your sink, bath, or tub drain is clogged, water won’t go out fast enough. Once you notice that it is slow to go out there are easy solutions you can apply yourself: use a plunger, a drain cleaner or clog remover. In most cases, these work pretty well. However, if problems persist give us a call and we’ll be there to help.

A leak is as common a problem as it is frustrating, annoying and costly. Most frequently, leaks occur at joints. Having a batch of fillers, fittings and compression clamps at hand is a great idea. However, these can offer only a temporary help. Most likely, you are going to have to replace a length of pipe or the faulty fitting. This may require a professional assistance.

If water trickles instead of gushing from your faucets, it means that you have a low pressure in the pipe. This may occur due to a problem in the main line, which is outside of your house. Another common issue is a buildup of deposit inside pipes and/or on faucet aerators. A filtration system is a great prevention tool. If you have noticed that water is not running from your faucet as fast as it should be, unscrew the aerator and turn on the tap to see how fast it is now. You can put the aerator in a jar with vinegar or CLR for several hours to remove the deposit.

In some cases, a sudden drop in water pressure may indicate a leak in your system. This may require emergency assistance, because an intense leak can inflict serious damage and entail costs.
