Plumbing Fixtures – 5 Warning Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore

Of all the amenities in the average home, plumbing fixtures are often some of the least appreciated. Few people notice them at all—that is, until something goes wrong.


We’ve all been there. The irritation of listening to a running toilet or a dripping faucet; the frustration of discovering that a leaky hose bibb has caused damage to your home’s foundation; the inconvenience—and potential for serious damage—caused by slow drains.


For some, plumbing fixtures are not only essential features of a modern home but also crucial in creating and maintaining a home’s aesthetic.

Plumbing fixtures may require attention for various reasons. Wear and tear, corrosion, mineral buildup, temperature extremes, debris, faulty parts, and DIY plumbing solutions gone wrong are all major contributors to issues that may arise with faucets, toilets, showerheads, and outdoor hose bibs.


If you’re noticing any of the following signs in your home, it may be time to call in a professional.


  1. Dripping faucets
  2. Running toilets
  3. Leaky hose bibs
  4. Slow drains or frequent clogs
  5. Low water pressure


While some of these problems may seem harmless enough, it’s essential to remember that they will only worsen over time and may lead to more serious and costly issues if left unaddressed.


Your plumbing system should work for you, not the other way around. Don’t wait until you’re forced to take the day off, just so you can use a friend’s shower and washing machine. If you’re unsure what the problem is or are not comfortable making a plumbing repair yourself, contact Williams Plumbing or any plumbing professional to ensure that an inconvenience doesn’t become a disaster.
