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 suddenly across the whole house — Honolulu's mineral-heavy water clogs aerators and chokes the PRV, and a failing PRV lets pressure spike to 120 PSI and crack pipes.
• Hot water runs out after one shower when it used to last for two — sediment buildup at the base of the tank displaces water volume and chokes the lower heating element.
• Wet patches appear on the ceiling below the bathroom — the wax seal under the toilet has failed, and every flush leaks water into the ceiling cavity and spreads mould through the insulation.
• The kitchen sink drains slower every week and now it backs up into the dishwasher — grease and food scraps have hardened in the trap, and the clog is working its way into the main waste stack.
• You smell sewer gas near floor drains in the garage or laundry — Honolulu's dry season evaporates the trap seal within two weeks, and sewer gas is backing up into the house.
• Rust stains appear around the base of the water heater — the inner tank has corroded through and is leaking slowly; it'll rupture without warning and flood 200 liters across the floor.
• The toilet runs continuously and the water bill jumps $40 in one month — the flapper has perished or the fill valve is stuck open, wasting 15 liters an hour straight into the overflow.
• Green or blue stains appear inside the toilet bowl or on chrome fixtures — the copper pipes are corroding from the inside, leaching copper into the water, and the pipes are thinning toward a pinhole leak.
