Your plumbing might be easy to take for granted. After all, most Americans have had indoor plumbing in their homes for a century. But if you don’t take good care of your water pipes, drains, and plumbing equipment, it’s all too easy for something big to go wrong. You’ll pay attention then! But the problem might already be very unpleasant.
What are the signs you need a professional kitchen plumbing repair?
- Persistent leaks or water stains under sinks, which may show up as damp spots, peeling cabinetry, or mold.
- Slow or repeatedly clogged kitchen drain—even after using a plunger or home snake.
- Unusual noises like gurgling or banging pipes (water hammer) from disposal or sink plumbing.
- Garbage disposal issues: bad smells, strange sounds, or it stops charging or drains slowly.
- Water heater in the vicinity acting up—temperature fluctuations, rust or corrosion, dripping, or odd sounds.

Acting quickly is especially important during the holiday rush for plumbing repairs.
Common Signs of Plumbing Leaks and How to Spot Them
Of course, you should call a plumber if you have a leak. But this doesn’t just mean a persistently drippy fixture or a spray from a damaged pipe. Sometimes, leaks are sneaky. Be on the lookout for warm patches on walls or floors, slowly spreading water stains, excess humidity, mold growth in your home, and even cracks in your foundation. Also, keep an eye on your water usage because a significant increase often indicates a leak. These problems may also be linked to serious water quality issues at home.
Warning Signs of Clogged Drains That Require Professional Help
A single clogged drain on one occasion is probably something you can remedy with a plunger or hand-cranked drain snake. But if it keeps coming up, or you find more than one clogged drain at a time, the real blockage is deeper than you can reach with your home equipment. We can handle it for you. And remember, you don’t have to wait for total clogs. If you get help while you’ve just got slow drains, clogs can be avoided completely with services like hydro jetting to clear drain blockages.
Strange Plumbing Noises and What They Mean
Your plumbing should barely make noise. Any significant sounds are cause for concern. Two of the most common are banging in the walls, also known as water hammer, and gurgling from drains. The banging is often a water pressure issue, and the gurgling could be from rising sewer gas, which is toxic. Don’t delay in getting the help you need. When you need a plumber in Las Vegas, NV, Johnny on the Spot is here to help.
Water Heater Problems That Signal It’s Time for Repair
Water heaters can also make odd noises, which usually means sediment needs to be removed with a system flush. Other signs of an issue with your water heater include inconsistent or unsatisfactory temperatures, low water pressure, dripping, and corrosion. Prompt repairs could help you keep your water heater running for years longer so you won’t have to buy a replacement sooner.
Troubleshooting Garbage Disposal Issues That Need a Plumber
The disposal in your kitchen sink is also in the domain of the plumber. If it smells bad, sounds different than usual, shuts down when it shouldn’t, or gets jammed or clogged, we’ll come get it sorted out. Never put your hand into a garbage disposal. Leave that to qualified professionals with specialized tools and safety training.
