When to call a professional

Not sure if it is time to get help? If any of these sound familiar, it is worth a call.

• Cold water runs rust-brown for the first 30 seconds every morning—common in pre-1970 Abbeville homes with original galvanised supply lines corroding from the inside.
• Water heater makes a low rumbling or popping sound when it fires up—mineral sediment from Abbeville's hard groundwater has settled at the bottom and is overheating; flush it or risk burning out the heating element.
• Toilet keeps running after a flush and you have to jiggle the handle—the flapper or fill valve is worn; wasting 200 gallons a day is typical and your water bill reflects it.
• Kitchen or bathroom sink drains slowly and plunging doesn't help—grease, soap buildup, or mineral scale is narrowing the pipe; left alone it'll clog completely during the next big dinner cleanup.
• Damp spot or soft flooring under the bathroom sink or near the water heater—slow drip has been soaking the subfloor for weeks; mould and wood rot are already starting.
• Low water pressure at one fixture but normal at others—aerator is clogged with sediment, or the supply valve is partially closed; either way it's a 10-minute fix that people live with for months.
• Sewage smell in the yard near the septic drainfield or along the buried sewer line—roots have cracked the pipe or the line is collapsing; a camera inspection finds it before wastewater backs up into your house.
• Gurgling sound from the toilet or tub drain when you run water in the sink—vent stack is blocked or main drain is partially clogged; both need clearing before the system backs up completely.
