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.

• Green or white crust forming on exposed copper joints under the house — that's active corrosion eating through the pipe wall, and a pinhole leak is weeks away at most.
• Water pressure drops noticeably when a second fixture turns on — typically caused by sediment clogging the main line or a partially closed shutoff valve corroded in place.
• Sulfur or rotten-egg smell when you turn on hot water — common in vacation rentals that sit vacant; bacteria grows in the tank when water sits stagnant in Hana's heat.
• Gurgling sound from drains when you flush the toilet or run the washing machine — sign of a blocked vent stack or a septic tank nearing capacity.
• Brown or rust-colored water from the cold tap after heavy rain — indicates your catchment tank needs cleaning or your main supply line is corroded from the inside.
• Damp spots or water stains on ceilings and walls, especially near bathrooms — often the first visible sign of a slow leak in the crawl space or inside a wall cavity.
• Toilet runs continuously or refills on its own every 10–15 minutes — a failing flapper or fill valve, wasting 200+ gallons per day and spiking your water bill if you're on county supply.
• Hot water runs out faster than it used to — sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank displaces water volume and insulates the heating element, cutting capacity by 30–50%.
