1. Dripping Faucets

Luckily this is an easy repair! The team at Priority Plumbing and Heating is able to tackle a leaky faucet in no time!


  1.  Leaky Pipes

While we see a lot of leaking pipes during the cold winter months, it’s also very common year-round! Most pipes will begin to leak near the joints, so keep an eye out for wet spots on the ground or ceiling. Water damage to your home can be quite costly, so leaky pipes are a necessity to fix right away.

3. Running Toilets

Did you know that a running toilet can waste up to 200 gallons per day? That’s a lot of water waste! An internal water leak can end up being quite costly for the average homeowner.


  1.  Low Water Pressure


A lot of older homes will experience low water pressure, but you may be asking why? It could be time for a new shower head or you could have a hidden leak in your home. However, those are just a few of the many reasons for low water pressure. Low water pressure could also mean that you have a problem with your water heater. Call Priority Plumbing and Heating today to figure out the depth of this repair.


5. Clogged Drains


The team at Priority Plumbing and Heating has seen this problem so many times. It is one of the worst because it is easily avoidable. You can avoid a clogged drain by being mindful of what you flush down your toilet, and by avoiding over the counter drain cleaners. Instead of using those cleaners, give us a call to clear the slow or clogged drains to avoid further, more expensive repairs.
