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 two fixtures run at once — common in older Bow homes with undersized supply lines or corroded galvanized pipe.
• Toilets gurgle or bubble when the washing machine drains — a sign of partial blockage or venting issues in the waste stack, frequent in properties with aging cast-iron drains.
• Damp or musty smell in the basement after heavy rain — Bow's clay-heavy soil and high water table drive groundwater seepage, and a failing sump pump or cracked foundation drain makes it worse.
• Hot water runs out faster than it used to — sediment buildup from well water coats heating elements in electric tanks and reduces capacity, especially in rural properties without water softeners.
• Patches of grass stay green all winter while the rest of the lawn goes dormant — a buried supply line is leaking, and you're watering the yard year-round without realizing it.
• Rust stains on sinks, tubs, or laundry — well water with high iron content, or corroding galvanized supply pipe shedding rust into the water stream.
• Water meter keeps spinning even when every fixture in the house is shut off — a hidden leak somewhere in the supply line, underground or inside a wall.
• Sump pump runs constantly during dry weather — the float switch has failed or the discharge line is clogged, forcing the pump to cycle nonstop and burn out prematurely.
