Preventing plumbing problems by recognizing warning signs

Plumbing emergencies at home can be catastrophic and costly, but there are often warning signs before major issues.

First, watch your exposed pipes for color changes discolored pipes can indicate a leak that could turn into a major issue.

Sewer odors are an indicator that there is an issue with your drain traps and vents. If you see bubbling or peeling paint, that could show where a leak is.

Finally, keep an eye on your lawn. If you spot a patch of grass that is far greener than the rest of your yard, that can be a sign of an underground leak.
