1. Sudden Loss of Water Pressure

If your water pressure drops suddenly, it could indicate a leak, a burst pipe, or an issue with your water supply. Don’t ignore it—call a plumber immediately.


2. Unusual Noises from Pipes or Boiler

Banging, gurgling, or whistling sounds from your pipes or boiler could mean trapped air, pressure issues, or potential blockages. These problems can escalate quickly if not addressed.


3. Slow or Clogged Drains

A single slow drain may be a minor issue, but if multiple drains are slow, it could signal a deeper blockage in your plumbing system that needs professional attention.


4. Water Stains or Damp Patches

Damp patches on walls or ceilings often indicate hidden leaks. If left untreated, this can lead to structural damage and mould growth.


5. Unpleasant Smells

Foul odours from your drains or pipes can point to a blocked sewer line or stagnant water, both of which require immediate action.


6. Overflowing Toilets

If your toilet overflows frequently, even after plunging, it could mean a serious blockage or an issue with your sewer line.


7. No Hot Water

Losing hot water suddenly could be a sign of a failing boiler or water heater. Regular servicing can help prevent unexpected breakdowns.
