Let’s play a quick word association game: plumbing! What did you think of? Bathroom? Was it bathroom?
There are a lot of concessions that we have to make in our lives. To put it simply, you just can’t win ’em all. That being said, you’ve got to draw the line somewhere. One situation that may seem like a part of everyday life that we certainly draw the line at is low water pressure. It’s annoying, you deserve better, and, worst of all, it could indicate a serious plumbing problem. Do not put up with it any longer!
Certain issues with your plumbing system are really going to jump out at you. Like, say, if your shower is ice cold or you have a flooded area in your home. Other problems, however, are not quite as easy to spot—and not every leak or rupture is going to result in immediate flooding. The fact that plumbing leaks are such a common problem does not mean that it’s a problem you can take lightly. There are a lot of issues that can develop.
It should probably go without saying that the bathroom is one of the areas in the house where you have the most direct interaction with your plumbing system. From visits to the toilet throughout the day to brushing your teeth before bed and after you wake up to taking your shower to freshen up, the bathroom(s) in your home really does play a major role in your day to day life. That is one of the reasons why any problems with your bathroom plumbing systems can be so troublesome.
The leak: archnemesis of plumbing systems everywhere. What is it about the leak that makes it such a vicious antagonist? Well, there are a lot of reasons. First of all, even those leaks masquerading as “minor,” including dripping faucets, can waste a huge amount of water over time. They trick you into thinking they’re no big deal, and then the costs of wasted water start to add up.
