?Plumbing problems are very common amongst modern homes. Plumbing refers to the water-pipe works that run through a single room or a whole house. Hence, a problem with the plumbing can occur anywhere in the house where there are water pipes and the result can spread to even the parts of the house which do not have any plumbing. Perhaps the room most susceptible to plumbing problems is the bathroom because of the complex piping systems contained within it.
One of the most common plumbing problems that arise in bathrooms is that of the shower pressure. It is difficult for the plumber to get the shower pressure at the exact point that is wanted by the consumer; however, it is not impossible. This plumbing problem mainly occurs when there is not much communication between the plumber and the consumer with regards to the desired pressure.
Leaking pipes and taps are also very common plumbing problems. They are seldom easy to fix as, in most cases, when a leak is fixed on one end, a new one arises on some other part of the pipe. Professional plumbers are necessary to fix this problem as they know how to do it without having to take the whole system apart.
Another plumbing problem that is common in household bathrooms is the clogging of the drain either in the sink or in the bath. This is a relatively easy plumbing problem to solve as it is caused by small items being stuck on the draining hole and clogging it in the process. Clogging will result in water being completely stuck in the bath or sink or taking very long to drain out.
One of the most horrifying and, in some cases, traumatizing plumbing problems that can occur in the bathroom is the blockage of the toilet. Anyone who has ever had this problem will know of its disastrous consequences. Firstly, a blocked toilet means that there will be no further use of the facility until a professional plumber has had a look at it and fixed it. In most cases, it also means that a very bad smell is ejected from the toilet, which will push you to get the problem fixed as soon as possible.
