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.

• Water pressure drops noticeably when you run two fixtures at once — common in older Amery homes with corroded galvanized supply lines that are 70-80% blocked inside.
• A dripping tap that won't stop even after you crank the handle shut — the valve seat is scored or the cartridge is worn, and it's wasting 3,000+ gallons a year.
• Drains gurgle or bubble when you flush the toilet or run the washing machine — air is trapped in the drain system, usually from a partial blockage or a clogged vent stack on the roof.
• Rusty or discolored water from the hot tap only — the anode rod in your water heater is spent and the tank is corroding from the inside, which means it's months away from leaking.
• A sewer smell in the basement or laundry room that gets worse in summer — the floor drain trap has dried out or there's a crack in the cast-iron stack venting sewer gas into the house.
• Wet spots or soft flooring near the base of the toilet — the wax ring has failed and every flush is leaking water (and waste) into the subfloor and ceiling below.
• Your sump pump runs constantly or not at all — continuous cycling means the float switch is stuck or the check valve is leaking back, and if it's not running at all you won't know till the basement floods.
• A hissing or rumbling sound from the water heater — sediment buildup from Amery's hard water is overheating the tank bottom, and the pressure-relief valve may be venting steam.
