There are many household amenities that Hampton Roads homeowners wouldn’t want to be without - and one in particular is their plumbing system! Most of the time, the components of a plumbing system are tucked away within walls, attics, basements or crawl spaces, and this could mean that telltale signs of a problem remain hidden until they surface as flooding, burst pipes, clogs or worse.

We’re enlisting our readers to act as our eyes and ears for when it comes to picking up on plumbing issues! If you notice anything strange about your plumbing system, remember to reach out and let us know so that we can help right away.

What should you look for? Some common indications of a problem include…

• Slow leaks coming from pipes, faucets or showerheads
  

• Rattling or other noises coming from the pipes
  

• An inexplicable increase in your water bill
  

• Slow drainage in sinks, tubs or showers
  

• Toilet constantly running or bubbling
