Small leaks cost more than they look
A running toilet can waste a lot of water in a day without making a sound. A slow drip under a sink soaks the cabinet floor and grows mold before anyone notices. With utility rates in the area a regular topic of complaint, fixing leaks early is one of the easier ways to keep a water bill in check.
If you see water where it shouldn’t be, turn off the fixture’s shut-off valve (usually under the sink or behind the toilet) until a plumber can look at it.
Repair or replace?
A plumber will usually repair a fixture when parts are available and the body is sound, and suggest replacement when the valve is corroded, parts are discontinued, or the fixture has failed more than once. Ask for both prices when the repair is close to the cost of a new fixture.
Common questions
Can I fix a running toilet myself?
Often. A worn flapper or a misadjusted fill valve is a common cause and the parts are inexpensive. If replacing those doesn’t stop it, or the tank or bowl leaks, call a plumber.
Why is my water pressure low?
If it’s one fixture, a clogged aerator or cartridge is likely. If it’s the whole house, it could be the pressure regulator, a partly closed main valve, or a problem in the service line.
Do I need a licensed plumber in Illinois?
Illinois licenses plumbers at the state level, and most plumbing work beyond simple fixture swaps is expected to be done by a licensed plumber.
