Or maybe it is your shower that seems to be taking a very long time to drain and has you standing in dirt water. If this is the case, you have a common plumbing problem… known as a clogged drain.
Drains are often susceptible to a large amount of wear and tear as they are used every single day.

The great news is that all clogged drains can be cleared when you call for professional help. Pritz Plumbing has unclogged many, many drains in homes throughout all of Los Angeles County.
3 — Running Toilet
A running toilet is yet another common plumbing problem. Usually, toilets run when the valve inside the tank is allowing water flow from the tank to the bowl of the toilet, thus causing the toilet to keep running. We suggest you turn the water off by turning the knob at the back of the toilet and call a professional plumber. Letting the toilet keep running can drastically increase your water bill.
4 — Low Water Pressure
There is nothing worse than trying to take a shower with little to no water pressure. Having Low/no water pressure in your shower/bath or sink is another common plumbing problem.
The most common cause of low water pressure is a lime scale buildup which is prevent the as much water to flow threw your showerhead.
