Is Your Kitchen or Bathroom Tap Dripping? 

Sinks and drains are prone to various common problems that can occur in both residential and commercial settings. Here are some of the most frequent issues encountered with sinks and drains:

1. Clogs: One of the most common problems with drains is clogging. Clogs can occur due to the accumulation of hair, soap scum, food debris, grease, and other substances. This can lead to slow drainage or complete blockage.
2. Leaking Faucets: Faucets that leak or drip even when fully closed waste water and can lead to increased water bills.
3. Slow Drainage: If water takes a long time to drain from the sink, it indicates partial clogging or a drainage problem in the pipes.
4. Foul Odors: Unpleasant smells coming from the sink or drain can be caused by decaying organic matter stuck in the pipes, leading to bacterial growth and bad odors.
5. Backups and Overflows: If the drain is severely clogged, water may back up into the sink or overflow onto the floor, causing water damage and potential health hazards.
6. Cracked or Damaged Pipes: Pipes can crack or become damaged over time due to corrosion, ground movement, or other factors. This can lead to leaks and water seepage.
7. Low Water Pressure: Low water pressure in the sink can be caused by issues with the aerator, clogged pipes, or problems with the water supply.
8. Rust and Corrosion: In older plumbing systems, pipes made from metal materials can rust and corrode, affecting water quality and leading to leaks.
9. Garbage Disposal Problems: In kitchen sinks with garbage disposals, issues may arise with the disposal unit itself, such as jamming, leaks, or motor failures.
10. Sewer Line Issues: Sometimes, sink and drain problems may be linked to larger issues with the main sewer line, such as blockages, root intrusions, or pipe damage.

Regular maintenance, such as periodic cleaning and avoiding the disposal of inappropriate items down the drain, can help prevent many of these common problems. Give our office a call today and schedule your routine maintenance appointment.
