Plumbing Nightmares
So you find yourself sitting on the couch, watching television or reading a book quietly, and you hear a soft dripping sound. It's not raining outside, and your sinks don't leak, so you wonder where this sound is coming from. You pause your show or set down your book and start walking around your house, trying to find that drip.
You finally locate it in your downstairs bathroom, but it's not dripping into the sink or the bathtub or shower. Instead, the sound is coming from above you because the drip is landing on the ceiling. You look up and see a brown spot on your white ceiling where the water has apparently started to pool.
This is not a problem that you can solve on your own. You need to call a plumber who has specialised equipment for these problems, and you need to get one there right away. Otherwise, the leak will eventually force its way through your ceiling. The water that is pooling up there now is likely to produce black mould over time, a nightmare that means thousands of dollars of remediation costs when you want to sell your house to someone else.
The good news is that any professional plumber like Local Plumber Gold Coast can fix this problem for you in a matter of minutes. The likely culprit is a leak in a line running from an upstairs toilet or sink. An emergency plumbing professional can come in, pull the offending line, and put in a new one in less than an hour. If you are concerned about the amount of water that has collected, you can call in a drywall specialist to analyse your ceiling and see if there is a need to take some of it out and look in the space above for signs of mould. Being proactive is the best choice!
