When it comes to plumbing issues, recognizing the warning signs early can save you from costly repairs and potential water damage. Knowing when to call a plumber is crucial for preventing further complications. 

Here are several common signs that indicate it’s time to pick up the phone and call in a professional:

• No water or low water pressure: If you’re experiencing a lack of water flow or consistently low water pressure, this could signify a blockage or leak in your pipes. 
• Slow drains: If your sink, shower, or bathtub is draining slowly, it could be due to a clog that needs professional attention. 
• Leaking pipes: Any visible signs of water leakage, such as wet spots on walls or ceilings, should be addressed right away. 
• Unusual noises: Gurgling sounds, banging pipes, or hissing noises can indicate underlying issues that require professional assessment. 
• Foul odors: Strong and unpleasant smells coming from your drains or sewage system may be a sign of a sewer line blockage. 

• Water discoloration or unusual taste: If your water appears discolored or has an odd taste, this could indicate pipe corrosion or contamination. 
• Constantly running toilet: A toilet that continuously runs, even after flushing, can waste a significant amount of water. 
• Water heater issues: Lack of hot water, excessively hot water, strange noises, or water leaking from a water heater should prompt a call to a plumber. 
• High water bills: A sudden increase in your water bill without any apparent reason could indicate an undetected leak that needs professional attention.
