At Aqua Knight Plumbing, we know how tough Midwest winters can be—not just on us, but on our pipes, too. As the snow melts and the temps rise, it’s the perfect time to check in on your plumbing and make sure winter didn’t leave behind any unwanted surprises.
Here are a few spring plumbing warning signs to keep an eye on:
1. Low Water Pressure
If your showers are more of a trickle than a stream, you could have a leak, sediment buildup, or even a pipe that cracked during a freeze. It’s not just annoying—it’s a red flag.
2. Slow Drains or Gurgling
Winter can lead to buildup in your pipes, and if you’re hearing gurgling or experiencing sluggish drains, it might be time for a professional inspection (and maybe a good drain cleaning).
3. Wet Spots in the Yard
Not all leaks happen indoors. If you’ve got soggy patches or unexpected green spots in your yard, it could be a sign of an underground pipe or sewer line leak.
4. Unusual Water Bills
If your water bill jumped and your usage didn’t, something’s leaking. A small crack in a pipe can waste gallons of water before you even notice.
5. Strange Noises
Hearing banging or rattling when you turn on the water? That could be a sign of pressure issues, trapped air, or damage from frozen pipes.
6. Water Heater Trouble
Water heaters work overtime in winter. If yours is making odd noises or struggling to keep up, it may need a flush or a full checkup.
