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 over a few weeks, especially upstairs or at the end of a long pipe run — classic sign of a corroding galvanised steel supply line that's rusting closed from the inside.
• You hear the well pump cycling on and off every few minutes even when no tap is running — points to a leaking pipe somewhere in the system, a failed pressure-tank bladder, or a stuck pressure switch.
• One corner of the basement floor stays damp or feels cooler than the rest, even in dry weather — likely a slow slab leak or a cracked underground drain line letting groundwater seep in.
• The toilet cistern hisses faintly and the bowl water level slowly drops between flushes — the flapper valve is leaking, wasting hundreds of litres a week and driving up your well-pump runtime.
• Hot water runs out faster than it used to, or takes much longer to reach the tap — sediment buildup in the tank (common with Easton's hard well water) is choking capacity, or the lower heating element has failed.
• Drains gurgle when you flush the toilet or empty the sink, and there's a faint sewer smell near floor grates — your septic tank is likely full or the vent stack is blocked, both of which can back sewage into the house.
• You see rust-coloured or brown water from the cold tap first thing in the morning — either your well casing is corroding, or the galvanised steel pipes inside the house are shedding rust scale into the flow.
• The area around your outdoor well-head or pressure tank is muddy or has standing water even when it hasn't rained — points to a buried leak on the supply side, before the water even reaches the house.
