Emergency Plumbers in Shalimar, FL

A whistling or squealing noise from your faucets is usually caused by a worn-out washer, loose valve, or high water pressure. Over time, rubber washers inside the faucet can degrade, causing vibrations that create a high-pitched sound when water flows through.

If the noise happens throughout your home, it may indicate that your water pressure is too high, which can strain pipes and fixtures. Replacing washers, tightening valves, or adjusting your home’s pressure regulator can help resolve the issue.

If your bathtub drain gurgles when you flush, it’s often a sign of a venting issue or a partial clog in the main drain line. Plumbing vents allow air to flow through the system, preventing negative pressure from forming. If the vent is blocked, the air gets pulled through the bathtub drain, creating a gurgling noise.

A partial clog in the sewer line can also trap air, causing similar sounds. A professional drain inspection can determine whether the issue is a vent blockage or a clog that needs to be cleared.

A soggy or unusually green patch of grass can be a sign of an underground plumbing leak. Common causes include a broken sewer line, a leaking irrigation pipe, or a cracked water main. Sewer leaks often produce foul odors, while water supply leaks may cause a sudden drop in water pressure.

If you notice standing water or a persistently damp area in your yard, we can perform a leak detection test to locate and repair the issue before it worsens.

If your toilet runs intermittently without being flushed, it’s likely due to:

• A faulty flapper: The rubber flapper inside the tank may not be sealing properly, causing water to leak slowly into the bowl.
• A worn fill valve: A malfunctioning fill valve may allow water to continuously enter the tank, triggering the refill cycle.
• A leaky flush valve gasket: If the flush valve gasket is worn, water can seep out, causing the tank to refill periodically.

Replacing the flapper or adjusting the fill valve can often fix the issue. If the problem persists, one of our plumbers can inspect the toilet’s tank for deeper issues.

An unexpected rise in your water bill often indicates a hidden plumbing issue, such as a slow leak, a running toilet, or a failing pressure regulator. Even a small leak can waste gallons of water over time, leading to higher costs.

If no visible leaks are present, checking your toilet flappers, irrigation system, and water meter can help identify the source of the problem. If the increase remains unexplained, a plumber can conduct a leak detection service to find and fix hidden water loss.
