An Ounce Of Prevention: 4 Common Plumbing Problems near Hartford County

9/20/2018 (Permalink)

When water pipes freeze they often burst, and once they thaw they can leak a large volume of water until the water is turned off.

These are 4 of the most common plumbing problems linked to potential water & mold issues.

Water Heater Malfunctions Replacing a water heater can be expensive, but regular maintenance can ensure its longevity. It’s always best to contact a professional, reputable company when getting an expensive appliance serviced.

Pipe Leaks Frozen pipes often become burst pipes. Leaky pipes lead to mold. A leaking pipe can go unnoticed for months depending on where the pipe is located. Visual inspections can help avoid a long-term leak, which can possibly restrict mold growth.

Clogged Drains Landlords are often privy to the damage caused by clogged drains. Drains can clog easily when items that are not suitable for flushing/rinsing get disposed of improperly such as grease, solid foods, hair and personal care products. It’s important to keep drains clear of unnecessary debris.
