Warning Signs of Plumbing Issues

Leaky Faucet 

Our home plumbing professionals know what’s causing your faucet to leak and how to fix it. We will tell you if repairs or replacements are the best options for your leaky faucet. Spare yourself the frustration of countless trips to the hardware store, saving time and money when our experts properly fix your plumbing and leave you with a handful of plumbing tips for long-term maintenance. 

Damp Walls or Ceilings

Damp walls or ceilings are signs of significant troubles with the plumbing, and it’s the last thing homeowners want to discover. When homeowners don’t address plumbing issues causing water damage to walls or ceilings, it will cause further damage to your home with mold and mildew growth that can eventually damage the structural integrity of your home. Don’t ignore the signs of damp walls or ceilings, hoping they will evaporate away—Contact Moe’s plumbing for all your home plumbing repair or replacement needs. Moe’s plumbers know plumbing issues like the back of their hands and will find the root of any problem in the plumbing system and correctly solve them.

Old Plumbing System

An old plumbing system can present a couple of troubling plumbing problems. Our skilled plumbers will assess your old plumbing system for lead or corroded pipes.

Your Pipes May Have Lead In Them

Lead pipes were used in the past because they are very durable. We know lead pipes can contaminate drinking water and cause several health problems.

You May Have Corroded Pipes

Investigate the exposed pipes in your utility room or basement. Look for signs of corrosion, like flaking or discolored pipes. If you find signs of corroded pipes, know that our Moe’s plumbing experts will correctly diagnose your old plumbing system and honestly let you know what plumbing issues need to be repaired or replaced.

Discolored Water

Check for discolored water when looking for signs of plumbing repair needs. Discolored water points to a particular issue associated with its color.

Yellow, Orange, or Red

Water that is yellow, orange, or red indicates rust contamination. Of course, you do not want to drink water with rust in it, but the presence of rust signifies that your pipes are disintegrating.

Green or Blue

Green or blue coloration of the water suggests that copper or brass was used in your house plumbing. If the plumbing in the house has algae in the water supply, you will also see discolored water that is green or blue. 

Black

The presence of black water in the home plumbing system indicates toxic growth.

With integrity, our professional plumbers at Moe’s will assess the exact reasons for your noisy pipes and determine whether whole-house repairs are the proper fix for your situation.
