Plumbing Troubleshooting

Every fixture is dry or trickling — main valve, meter, pressure, or the utility.

One fixture drains slow or not at all — P-trap, branch line, or venting.

Runs constantly or refills on its own every few minutes — flapper or fill valve.

Water swirls without going down, or it clears but clogs every week.

Active water where it shouldn't be — shutoff first, then isolate the source.

Loud knocks when valves close, or moaning during fills — hammer, loose pipes, or pressure.

Flushometer (handle or sensor) valves — running on, no flush, or dead sensor.

Sewer odor, or water rising on the floor — dry traps, grease, or a main-line blockage.
