If you’ve noticed an odd smell and you can’t quite find the source, it might be time to get some help.

The smell you’re experiencing might be a sewage-like stench, which could mean your sewer line has burst, and even though you can’t see the mess, you can smell it. That sewage could be dangerously close to backing up into your shower, which is the last thing you want.

Is the stench a little more unfamiliar, and nothing like sewage? It could be gas.

Gas leaks are dangerous, going as far as to kill 17 people every year in the USA. If you smell something that you think could be gas, don’t wait. Call in an expert to fix that line before the problem gets even worse, as this isn’t something you want to deal with yourself.

Low water pressure and slow drains aren’t the biggest plumbing issue in the world. In fact, you might even be tempted to ignore them.

Sure, it’s annoying that the bath takes a while to drain out or the water pressure in the sink isn’t great, but it’s no real inconvenience to your life.

Tempting as it is not to deal with the problem, ignoring it is a bad idea. This is a sign that something is beginning to go wrong in the pipes, whether it’s a clog that hasn’t fully formed or a crack that may be about to get bigger.

Call a plumber out while the problem is small to ensure it gets fixed before it becomes a huge inconvenience, and your future self will thank you for the foresight!

If a toilet blocks, chances are you’ll be alerted because when you try to flush, the toilet backs up. It’s the same with many other plumbing appliances — it’s often very easy to tell where the source of the problem is, and therefore easy to locate the clogged drain.

However, this isn’t always the case.

Sometimes you’ll run laundry and encounter water gushing up into your downstairs shower, or you’ll flush the toilet for another to back up.

When this happens, it’s likely to be a clog outside of the pipes in your house, and could be as far as the main sewer line.

Since accessing the main sewer line often involves digging feet below the ground, you’re going to want a plumber to deal with this. They can often run a camera down first and check what the problem is before digging into the ground.

No one wants to wake up and find that they have no water at all, but this is a sign that there’s a pretty extreme issue with the pipes. Clogs and slow drains are one thing, but if there’s no water coming through at all, something might be very wrong.

It’s important to keep up with your local news and community. If the problem is at the mains, your county has very likely announced it, and in this case, there’s no point in calling a plumber. They’ll ideally provide you with an estimated time for repair and keep you in the loop.

If it’s just your house, however, it’s a problem with your pipes specifically.

There could be several reasons no water is coming through at all. One of the pipes might have frozen or burst, or there might be a clog so big and bad that it can no longer just be snaked.

If there’s no water coming from anywhere in the house, it’s likely to be a problem with the main sewer line — that infamous pipe that only a plumber can get to and fix for you.

If you believe you have a plumbing leak and cannot find the source, it’s time to contact
Armstrong Plumbing Company. We can identify parts of your plumbing system that you may not be aware of. Plus, we can inspect every inch of pipe in your system, with the use of camera detection equipment.

Also, if you want to be proactive about leaks in your plumbing system, you can install water sensors. These devices are installed in areas where hidden leaks occur, and sophisticated models can even turn off your water supply when excess moisture is detected. Water sensors can be expensive, so if you don’t want to justify the expense, at the very least make a practice of looking for signs of water damage throughout your home on a regular basis.
