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 has dropped noticeably across the whole house over the past six months—likely corrosion inside galvanised steel pipes that are common in Cashion homes built before 1980, and once it starts the only real fix is to repipe.
• The water coming out of taps is tinged orange or rust-brown, especially first thing in the morning—a sign the steel pipes or the well-system pressure tank is corroding from the inside and shedding rust into the water.
• You hear the well pump cycling on and off every few minutes even when no taps are running—usually means the pressure tank bladder has failed and can't hold pressure, forcing the pump to work constantly and shortening its lifespan.
• A sewer or rotten-egg smell rises from floor drains in the basement, garage, or outbuildings—the trap has dried out and isn't blocking sewer gas anymore, common in Cashion's dry winter air and easy to fix by pouring a bucket of water down the drain.
• One toilet or sink drains slowly while others work fine, and plunging doesn't help—typically a partial blockage in that fixture's drain line, often from mineral buildup in well-water systems or roots invading clay sewer pipes.
• The area around the base of the water heater is damp or stained, even if there's no active puddle—early sign of a slow leak from a corroded tank seam, and once it starts the tank will fail completely within weeks or months.
• Outdoor faucets or hose bibs drip constantly even when fully closed, especially after a freeze—the valve seat inside is damaged or the pipe behind the wall has a hairline crack from ice expansion, and it will only get worse.
• Water backs up into the bathtub or shower when you run the washing machine or flush a toilet—classic sign the main sewer line or septic system is partially blocked, and it needs clearing before it backs up into the house completely.
