What kind of plumbing problem is bothering your Florida home? Is it the faucet that won’t turn all the way off, or do you have a drain that clearly has a clog in it somewhere? Small problems like these can be easy fixes, but if you leave them alone, they may cause more damage than you expect. Thankfully, the plumbing professionals at Harrington Air Conditioning are here to save the day (and your wallet)!

Plumbing problems can seem inconsequential. Why worry about slow-moving drains and faucets that won’t turn all the way off? Actually, you should get these minor issues fixed because they can grow into bigger headaches. The expert plumbers at Harrington Air Conditioning can fix plumbing problems of all sizes in the Tampa Bay area. With our help, you can get your plumbing issues fixed before they need expensive repairs.

The Slowly Dripping Faucet

When faucets drip all day and all night, water is constantly being used. Even a slow drip can waste a gallon of water daily. While a drippy faucet may not seem like a big deal, it is a plumbing issue that has its roots in something bigger. There may be a broken part in your faucet, or your faucet may have hard water buildup inside it, making it unable to turn all the way off. If the root of the problem isn’t fixed, it will probably keep growing until something else breaks.

Pipes That Need a Bucket Under Them

Do you have any pipes that have just a little bit of water dripping down, so you stick a bucket under it to keep the water leak under control? If so, it’s time to get that small pipe leak fixed. Small leaks don’t heal themselves. They only get worse. If you wait too long, an easy repair could turn into one that requires a bucketful of money!

The Toilet that Doesn’t Know How to Stop

Some toilets just don’t know when to quit. They have a small trickle of water constantly running, or they flush all by themselves for no apparent reason. Many gallons of water can be wasted if you don’t address a toilet that won’t stop running. Toilet components that are always in use will wear out sooner, too, so it really does pay to get your running toilet fixed so it works correctly.

The Sluggish Drain

Any drain in your Florida home that is draining slowly should have your full attention. While the slow-moving drain could be caused by a clog of hair, food particles, toothpaste residue, or some other normal drain-clogging item, you need to take care of it before it totally blocks the drain or starts smelling bad. You may be tempted to use chemical drain cleaners that you buy from the store, but if you use those too often, they can damage your pipes. A plumber from Harrington Air Conditioning can remove clogs safely and effectively so your drains can do their job!

The Disappointment of Low Water Pressure

You know how it feels when you are hot and dirty, and you turn on the shower in anticipation of a blast of refreshing water, only to find out that your water pressure is low again. Instead of ignoring the situation, call one of our plumbers. We can come over and find out what’s really going on with your water. It could be a clogged pipe or a hidden water leak. Your pressure regulator might be broken, or you may have a water heater malfunction. We’ll get to the bottom of the issue and fix it before it causes more damage.

The Lack of Hot Water

It’s frustrating when you want hot water, but the only thing coming out of the faucet is cold water. You might think that’s a normal problem for families that use a lot of hot water. However, it is actually an indication that you either don’t have a big enough water heater or you have one that isn’t working properly. Either way, schedule an appointment with one of our plumbers so we can take a look. And just so you are aware, a water heater that is making banging noises is definitely not normal! It’s your water heater calling for professional help.
