These five are the ones our team is called out for most often, and each is far cheaper to deal with early.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. A dripping faucet or running toilet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A slow drip wastes water every hour of the day and usually points to a worn washer or valve. Left alone, it stains fittings and can damage the cabinet below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Cracked or missing caulk<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The seal around baths, showers, and windows keeps water out of your walls. Once it cracks, moisture gets behind the surface where you cannot see it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Flickering lights or warm switches<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are signs of a loose connection or an overloaded circuit. Have them checked promptly rather than waiting for the fitting to fail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Doors that stick or will not latch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A sticking door can mean swollen timber, loose hinges, or movement in the frame. A quick adjustment now prevents damage to the door and the lock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Blocked or sagging gutters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gutters that overflow send water down your walls and toward the foundation. Clearing and re-fixing them is one of the best-value jobs on any home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Small problems can become expensive repairs.
