Know the Signs of Trouble and When a Plumber is Needed

When do you need to hire a bathroom plumber?

Generally speaking, any time you can't fix a problem with a plunger or simple turn of a wrench, or when you are unsure what your problem is, you should call a plumber. Let's take a look at some specific examples of when that might occur:

1. When the toilet backs up and a plunger doesn't do the job or when it backs up frequently.
2. When the lavatory and/or tub drains slowly
3. When water leaks from your toilet, shower or other fixture
4. When the toilet doesn't flush correctly or flushes slowly or incompletely
5. When sewer-like odors occur in your bathroom
6. When water mysteriously and repeatedly appears on your bathroom floor and the source of the water is not obvious
7. When your lavatory or tub won't hold water
8. When water damage occurs to walls, floors, ceilings and cabinetry near or below water and drain pipes
9. When pipes are frozen
10. When pipes are noisy
11. When there's no hot water
12. When water pressure to the tub, shower or lavatory is low
