Have you had the chance to explore our previous blog posts? If so, now is a great time to use that knowledge to help you assess your plumbing situation. Take our quick quiz to determine if it’s time to call a licensed plumber to handle your plumbing issues. Let’s dive in and see if professional help is the right solution for you!

✅ 1. Is your tap dripping… constantly?

A. Yes, nonstop!

B. Only occasionally.

C. Not at all.

A = Call a plumber. One dripping tap can waste thousands of litres of water per year—and spike your utility bill.

✅ 2. Do you have low water pressure in your shower or kitchen tap?

A. Yes, it’s weak all the time.

B. It comes and goes.

C. The pressure is fine.

A/B = Potential pipe blockage, leak, or valve issue. Worth a check-up.

✅ 3. Are your drains taking forever to empty?

A. Yes, every time.

B. Sometimes.

C. No, they’re clear.

A = Call a plumber. Slow drains are often caused by deep clogs—not just surface buildup.

✅ 4. Have you noticed water stains or mould on your ceiling or walls?

A. Yes.

B. Not sure.

C. Definitely not.

A = Leak alert! Hidden plumbing issues could be damaging your home from the inside out.

✅ 5. Do your pipes or toilet make weird noises (gurgling, banging, or whistling)?

A. Yes, regularly.

B. Only sometimes.

C. No noises at all.

A/B = Call a plumber. Unusual noises often signal trapped air, clogs, or pressure imbalances.

✅ 6. Is your water heater making rumbling or popping sounds?

A. Yes, and it’s getting louder.

B. I’ve noticed it once or twice.

C. Nope, all quiet.

A = Sediment buildup. This can reduce efficiency or damage the heater if not cleaned.

✅ 7. Do you smell foul odours coming from your drains?

A. Yes, it’s constant.

B. Only after rain or when I run the tap.

C. No bad smells.

A/B = Call a plumber. This could mean a blocked vent, dry trap, or even sewer line issues.

✅ 8. Is your water bill rising even though your usage hasn’t changed?

A. Yes, it’s gotten noticeably higher.

B. Slight increase.

C. It’s steady.

A = Possible leak. Even tiny leaks in hidden pipes can cause major water loss.

✅ 9. Do you have rusty or discoloured water?

A. Yes, it’s yellow/brown sometimes.

B. Only when I turn it on after hours of no use.

C. Always crystal clear.

A = Pipe corrosion or sediment issues. A plumber can inspect and flush the system if needed.

✅ 10. Are your toilet(s) running constantly even when not in use?

A. Yes, all the time.

B. It stops eventually.

C. No, it only runs when flushed.

A/B = Likely worn flapper or valve issue. Can waste up to 700 litres of water per day!

🧮 Your Results:

Mostly C’s: ✅ You’re in good shape! But a preventive check-up once a year is still a smart move.
