Plumbing FAQs

Where is the main water shutoff in my house, and how can I make it easier to use in a hurry?

Many homes have a main shutoff near the water meter, in a garage, or where the main line enters the house. Make sure it turns smoothly, label it, and keep the area clear so anyone can reach it quickly. If the valve is stuck or leaking, a licensed plumber can replace it so you are not fighting it during an urgent situation.

How can I check for a hidden water leak if I do not see any water?

Start with your water meter. Turn off all water inside and outside, then check the meter. Wait 30 to 60 minutes without using water and recheck. If it moved, water is flowing somewhere. Toilets are a common culprit, so add a few drops of food coloring to the tank and see if color shows up in the bowl within 10 to 15 minutes. If you cannot pinpoint it, a plumber can locate the leak before it causes damage.

Why do my pipes bang, knock, or shake when I shut off a faucet?

This is often caused by water hammer, which happens when flowing water stops suddenly and the pressure jolts the plumbing. It can also be loose pipe straps or high water pressure. A plumber can secure the piping and recommend the right fix so the noise does not turn into a leak.

My toilet randomly refills for a few seconds. What does that usually mean?

Most of the time, it is a worn flapper or a fill valve that is not sealing well. Even a small leak from the tank into the bowl can waste a lot of water over time. Replacing the parts is usually straightforward, but if the toilet is older or continues to run, a plumber can confirm the cause and prevent repeat issues.

What should I do if my garbage disposal is humming but not spinning?

Turn off the power first. Check for a jam with tongs or pliers, never your hand. Many disposals can be freed by turning the bottom hex fitting with the correct tool, then pressing the reset button. If it still will not move or trips the breaker, a plumber can inspect it safely and check for wiring or drain issues.

How often should I replace washing machine hoses and under sink supply lines?

Rubber washing machine hoses are a common source of sudden leaks. Many homeowners swap them for braided stainless hoses and replace them on a regular schedule to reduce flood risk. Under sink supply lines should also be replaced if they show rust, bulging, cracking, or persistent dripping. If you are not sure what you have, Benjamin Franklin Plumbing can help you identify aging lines and replace them correctly.

Why is my tap water cloudy, and is it safe to drink?

Cloudy water is often tiny air bubbles and usually clears after a minute. If cloudiness does not clear, or you see discoloration, sediment, or changes in taste or smell, it is smart to stop and investigate. A local plumber can help rule out plumbing causes, and you can also compare what you are seeing with your local water quality information.

Do sprinkler systems in Texas need backflow protection, and what does testing involve?

In Texas, irrigation systems commonly need backflow protection to help prevent contaminated water from flowing back into the drinking water supply. Testing is typically done by a licensed backflow tester, and it may be required at installation and in ongoing intervals depending on the setup and local enforcement. If you are in the Whitewright area of Grayson County or Fannin County and want clarity on what applies to your property, a plumber can inspect your connection and explain the next steps in plain language.
