Home Plumbing Inspections

Here is a great tip to know if something is wrong… listen for these noises:

Banging noises, creaks, rattles, and vibrations are often signs of pipe issues.

Hear clanging and/or ringing sounds in buildings? Could mean loose water supply piping like clogged or partly clogged drains.

Don’t overlook drip or splash sounds. While they can be tricky to track down, they are serious, as they could mean a water supply leak inside of a building cavity. Supply pipe leaks may be continuous resulting in a visual cue that there is a problem… the ugly water stains or mold stain. Most often, this leak is around a tub or shower control that drips into the wall cavity only when the valve is in the on position.

A drain piping leak inside of a building cavity can also produce a noise that is hard to track down. If water fixtures are not in the on position, but a a drain drip noise is still heard, it’s time to call your plumber. It’s also key to note that a quietly running toilet can also produce a drip or other significant plumbing problem downstream from the toilet in the building drain piping.

Plumbing Fixture noises also include gurgling, the “glug glug” sounds, “burbling” during drainage when sinks, tubs, or showers drain, or when a toilet is flushed.
