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 over the past year, especially upstairs or at the far end of the house — classic sign of galvanized pipe corrosion narrowing the flow inside the walls.
• You hear running water when no taps or appliances are on, or your water meter spins even when the house is empty — hidden leak somewhere in the system, possibly under the slab.
• Discolored or rust-tinted water first thing in the morning, clearing after a minute of running the tap — corroded galvanized supply lines shedding sediment.
• Drains gurgle when you flush the toilet or run the washing machine, or sewer odor drifts up from the basement floor drain — venting problem or partial blockage in the main sewer line.
• Water heater makes rumbling or popping noises, especially common in Edgerton properties on well water — sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank from hard water, and the tank may be close to failure.
• Patches of the yard stay soggy or greener than surrounding grass even when it hasn't rained — possible leaking underground water line or compromised septic drain field.
• Toilet rocks slightly when you sit on it, or you see water staining the floor around the base — wax ring has failed and every flush leaks a little, rotting the subfloor underneath.
• Hot water runs out faster than it used to, or takes longer to arrive at the tap — sediment filling the tank or a failing heating element in older water heaters common in Edgerton's 10-15 year-old housing stock.
