Here are the top 5 plumbing problems. 1- Plugged Toilet, the usual culprits are baby wipes, tampons, paper towels, sanitary napkins and disposable diapers. Remember the 3 P’s -Pee, Poop and Paper (toilet paper) are all that should be flushed down your toilet. 2- Frozen Pipes, keep your thermostat set at the same temperature 24/7 during cold weather months. 3- Cracked or Rusted Water Heater, this can lead to no hot water and water damage, get your water heater serviced at least once a year. It is the most neglected appliance in your household. 4- Worn Fittings can lead to water damage and wasted water, as soon as a leak appears-get it fixed. 5- Sump Pump, it stops working when you are not aware and water damage occurs. Check your sump pump regularly by pouring water in it to see if it will cycle. Many times with the first heavy spring downpour is when you find out the sump pump is not working.
