PLUMBING REPAIRS FOR THE DIY PRO

There are a few different reasons why you could have noises coming from your plumbing. Try the following steps to root out the problem and bring an end to your bathroom troubles:

  • Check on the Aerator: The cause of your noisy faucet could be mineral deposits in the aerator — the screen that screws into the tip of the faucet. This is an easy plumbing repair, so homeowners, this is the first thing you should check. Simply unscrew the aerator and run the faucet. If the noise is present, then purchase a new, clean aerator, screw it on the faucet, and verify again that the noise is diminished, and you should be good to go.
  • Install New Washers: Sometimes worn out or incorrectly sized washers can become a common deficiency of faucet noises. To replace the old washer, turn off the water supply and take your faucet apart. When you have the handles off, swap out the old washers for new, intact models ones that are a perfect fit for the fixture. With luck on your side, that may solve the problem.
  • Put a Brake on Water Pressure: Homeowners another culprit can be High water pressure, they can be a common cause of strange sounds in your plumbing. If you think this might be the culprit, you can test your plumbing with a pressure gauge. Anything over 80 psi can potentially cause a problem. If this is the case, you should immediately install a pressure regulator on your main water line to protect your pipes and appliances while also putting a stop to the irritating sound. For this you may need some assistance, so we recommend calling us, Everest Drain & Plumbing, your local Greater Toronto Area Plumber.
  • Replace Your Plumbing System: Another cause of noisy faucets in older homes is when the pipes themselves are too small or have been so blocked by scale and debris that water has trouble flowing freely. In these cases, you might need to have your pipes replaced outright, which is a complicated plumbing repair that may be beyond the skills of recent homeowners performing DIY projects. We recommend homeowners, and business owners call Everest Drain & Plumbing, as we provide upfront costs, and provide high quality and convenient service, and response times.
