Do you know why it is that you're more likely to break a bone in your foot than, say, a bone in your leg? Well, because there are a whole lot more bones in your feet than there are in your legs. The bones are also smaller, and you are supporting your weight on your feet and balancing your entire body on top of them. Your legs do a lot work, of course, but they are bearing down on your feet as you go about your day.

The same concept can be applied to your plumbing system. Sure, there are plenty of instances in which your main water line may rupture. You're still much more likely to encounter problems with the plumbing in your bathroom, though, because there are more pieces to fail and there is more direct interaction with those pieces than with the single big pipe bringing water into your home. When you run into bathroom plumbing problems, you need to schedule professional bathroom plumbing service in Bristol fast.

What Types of Bathroom Plumbing Problems Might I Encounter?

Unfortunately, there is no shortage when it comes to the different problems that you may encounter with your plumbing system—and, frankly, some of them just cannot be prepared for or seen coming. What exactly are we talking about?

  1. General leaks.
  2. Overflowing toilets.
  3. Running toilets.
  4. Clogged drains.
  5. Slow-moving drains.
  6. Dry P-traps.
  7. Falling water pressure.
  8. Inconsistent hot water.

Okay, So What Can I Do to Prepare for Such Problems?

The first step in preparing for such problems is to prevent such problems. While there are some issues that are bound to catch you off-guard, this does not mean that you cannot intervene early on, or even before trouble should strike. Here are some tips for getting out ahead of bathroom plumbing problems.

  1. Cover your drains. No, not completely. With traps that will keep hair and other materials from getting down into the system!
  2. Keep the plunger nearby. Seriously. You don't want anyone to have to search for it when they need it. Time is a factor here.
  3. Make sure your trash can is not hidden from view. Not even under the sink. Don't tempt people into tossing things into the toilet.
  4. Schedule regular drain cleaning. Waiting for the drains to clog up takes the preventative aspect out of maintenance.
  5. Don't ignore drips or "minor" leaks. They'll just get worse with time, and cost you money in the long run.
