5 Plumbing Problems Costing You Money

3/7/2023

The myth that an ostrich conceals its head in the sand to avoid danger is false. However, it is not a myth that many New Jersey homeowners would ignore plumbing problems believing they will disappear.

It's more complex than Drip, Drip, Drip.
As problems seldom disappear, this thinking style could be an expensive mistake. They often develop into more severe plumbing issues that require more money. Our plumbers at Elizabeth Plumbing and Drain service advise addressing problems as soon as they appear to avoid spending more money in the long run.

These 5 Common Plumbing Issues Will Cost You MoneyHere are the top five most frequent plumbing concerns, according to our experts:

1. Leaky faucet
Our plumbers' most common daily issue is a leaking faucet, equivalent to flushing money down the toilet. You may pay a 10% increase in water expenses due to wasted water.
Do you still have reservations? A leaky faucet may waste up to 10,000 gallons of water each year, according to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This results in around 270 loads of laundry. The good news is that a leak can be fixed faucet is often simple.

2. Running toilet
A running toilet may waste hundreds of gallons of water each year, increasing your water bill. Depending on the toilet's constant running source, this problem may be simple.
Sometimes the solution is as easy as straightening up the flapper chain in the tank or fixing the crookedly positioned flapper on the drain. Both of these issues cause frequent water leaks, preventing the tank from ever becoming filled. It could be enough to replace the flapper valve, float, or fill tube.

3. Wrong-sized sump pump
Making sure your sump pump is the right size for your property is more crucial than you think. If your pump is too tiny, it may get overworked and need a continual operation to keep up with the water flow in your Elizabeth house. This might result in pump burnout or increased energy costs.
Alternatively, the pump may be unable to keep up, causing the basement to flood. The use of an appropriate-sized sump pump avoids and overcomes these issues. If you suspect your pump is the wrong size for your property, please contact one of our Elizabeth Plumbing and Drain services. Our plumbers are all very talented and educated.

4. Water heater is making noises
If your water heater starts making loud banging sounds, don't expect them to disappear. The most typical cause is silt buildup in the tank's bottom. When the hot water is turned on, the sediment circulates, causing air bubbles to form. Between the bubbles and the residue, there may be hammering noises.
Ignoring this issue costs money since it reduces the life of your tank. So, as soon as you hear the noises, call one of our experienced plumbers. To avoid this in the first place, have your tank drained and sanitized once a year. For more information.

5. Dripping sounds in walls or ceiling
If there is a water leak in your Elizabeth home's subsurface plumbing, the walls or ceiling may begin to drip. This might result in mold growth and expensive repairs such as repairing drywall, plaster, or deteriorating wood. You've undoubtedly seen the gradual erosion of rocks caused by even small amounts of water. Simply said, the materials in your house are far more prone to wear and tear.
If you hear leaks, please contact one of our plumbers right once. If you overlook drips, you will wind up paying more money in the long run. It is best to learn as soon as possible rather than later.
