Common Questions
How can a plumbing inspection from B A Plumbing help identify a hidden pipe joint leak in my Philadelphia home?
A professional plumbing inspection uses specialized tools and expert knowledge to locate leaks that aren't visible. We check pressure, listen for running water within walls, and inspect common weak points in older Philadelphia plumbing systems. Catching a joint leak early through an inspection can prevent extensive water damage and costly repairs to your floors or walls.
My toilet is constantly running or has water around its base. Is this a seal leak, and how do you fix it?
Yes, these are classic signs of a toilet seal (wax ring) leak, a common issue in Philadelphia homes. A failing seal allows water to seep out with every flush, damaging your subfloor. We'll inspect the seal, flange, and toilet installation. Our repair involves removing the toilet, cleaning the area, and installing a new, heavy-duty wax ring to create a perfect, watertight seal, stopping the leak and preventing further damage.
What should I look for during a basic self-check to see if I might need a professional plumbing inspection?
Keep an eye out for unexplained increases in your water bill, the sound of running water when all fixtures are off, musty odors, or damp spots on walls or ceilings—especially in older Philadelphia neighborhoods. While these checks can alert you to a problem, a professional inspection from our team is crucial to accurately diagnose the specific issue, whether it's a pipe joint, toilet seal, or another local plumbing concern, and recommend the right fix.
