We get it—life gets busy. That slow-draining sink, running toilet, or small drip under the sink might seem like something you can ignore for now. But here’s the truth: small plumbing issues often lead to big (and expensive) problems down the line. At De Hart Plumbing, Heating & Cooling, we’ve seen firsthand how quickly a minor leak can turn into water damage, mold growth, or a skyrocketing utility bill. The good news? Most of these issues are simple to fix—if caught early.
Common “Small” Issues You Shouldn’t Ignore:
- Dripping Faucets: Even a slow drip can waste hundreds of gallons of water per year, driving up your water bill and wearing down fixtures over time.
- Running Toilets: It may not seem urgent, but a running toilet can waste up to 200 gallons of water a day. That’s not just wasteful—it’s costly.
- Low Water Pressure: Low pressure might be a sign of a clogged pipe, corroded line, or even a hidden leak somewhere in your system.
- Slow Drains: Whether it’s your shower, kitchen sink, or bathroom, slow drains often signal a developing clog that could lead to a backup if left untreated.
- Unexplained Water Stains or Musty Smells: These are often red flags for a hidden leak behind walls or under flooring—issues that can lead to mold, wood rot, and structural damage.
