Common Bathroom Plumbing Problems
Problem: Your toilet won’t stop running.
Cause: Running toilets are often caused by either a broken flapper valve or a broken fill valve. While a running toilet isn’t a plumbing emergency, it can certainly increase your water usage over time and run up your water bill.
Solution: In most cases, fixing either the flapper valve or fill valve should solve the problem. Depending on the cause, you may need professional help. Call Mullin Services, LLC if your toilet won’t stop running.
Problem: Your toilet is clogged or overflowing.
Cause: Toilets typically overflow when there is a clog and the water can’t go down. Clogs can be caused by excess toilet paper or other waste that is obstructing the drainpipe.
Solution: Most clogs can be fixed with a plunger. If that doesn’t work, the obstruction may be further down the pipe, and you should call a plumber. Toilets that clog easily are also a sign of a more serious issue. Mullin Services, LLC can repair your toilet—call us today to get started.
Problem: Your bathroom sink is leaking.
Cause: Leaky faucets are often caused by loose handles, worn washers, or corroded valve seats. A worn O-ring seal or water supply issues may also cause a leak in your bathroom sink.
Solution: Ways to fix the leak include tightening the sink handle, replacing the washer in the valve seat, or replacing the valve seat itself. You may also need a new O-ring seal or water supply line maintenance. Call Mullin Services, LLC for help with your leaky bathroom sink.
Problem: The pipes under your bathroom sink are leaking.
Cause: Leaks under your sink can be caused by a number of things including loose connections, material buildup, and even corrosion. Most leaks happen around pipe joints.
Solution: Try to locate the source of the leak. Tightening connections or snaking the drain may help to reduce under-sink leaks. You may also need to replace the pipes or fittings to prevent further leaking. Call a professional, like Mullin Services, LLC, to have your pipes examined. Leaks can lead to pipes bursting, so it’s important to address them quickly.
Problem: Your bathtub drain is clogged.
Cause: Clogged tubs are often caused by a buildup in your pipes. Soap scum, hair, and other debris can wash into the pipes below your bathtub and get stuck.
Solution: Most clogged tubs can be fixed by snaking the drain. If that doesn’t work, the clog is probably further down. Call Mullin Services, LLC for help with your clogged bathtub. To prevent future clogs, consider using a drain guard to catch hair before it goes down the drain.
Problem: The water pressure in your shower is low.
Cause: Low water pressure can be caused by a number of things. Some common causes include a faulty showerhead, mineral buildup on the showerhead, a water heater problem, a leak, or a faulty water pressure regulator.
Solution: The solution will depend on the problem. Showerheads can be cleaned or replaced, leaks can be sealed, and water heaters and water pressure regulators can be repaired or replaced. Call Mullin Services, LLC if you have low water pressure in your shower.
Problem: The drains in your bathroom smell like sewage.
Cause: Floor drains that smell of sewage are usually caused by a sewage back up. This is a serious issue and should be dealt with quickly. Sewage backups can cause extensive property damage and create health hazards in homes and businesses.
Solution: Call a plumber, like Mullin Services, LLC, as soon as possible.
