Dripping Faucets:
The dripping faucets are not just a source of irritation but can increase your water bill considerably. In most cases, this problem arises due to torn, worn or dislodged internal washer.

Slow Draining Sink:
This drain problem is usually caused by a blockage that restricts the water flow. Sink drain may contain food remnants and congealed fat that turn into massive blockage over time, limiting the water flow.

Blocked Shower Drain:
Bath and shower drain usually get clogged due to the build-up of hair and soap over time. While there are several DIY methods available to dissolve the clog, sometimes it requires hiring a plumber to fix it.

Blocked Toilet:
When the toilet bowl doesn’t drain away, it means that you have got a clog. Normally, the blockage is caused by the buildup of chemicals, papers and human waste. In order to fix the problem, you may require a sewer snake or a drain auger for clearing blocked toilets.

Leaking Toilet:
Due to a leaking toilet, around 200 gallons of water may be lost every day. The running toilet is usually caused by a faulty flapper valve that controls the water passing from the tank to the bowl. Sometimes, this problem may also arise due to sediments that affect the flushing and filling.

Leaky Pipes:
Leaky pipes are more than just an annoyance. They can cause damage to your property, furniture and other valuable possessions. Leaks usually happen at the pipe joints, but they can be temporarily fixed using tape, fillers and compounds.
