What is the squealing sound in my wall when I turn my water on?
The squealing noise indicates a failure in your pressure reducing valve. Increased water pressure and debris have caused turbulence within the valve, resulting in the sound you're hearing. This valve requires replacement to resolve the issue.Is it a big deal if my toilet is running constantly?
Yes, a constantly running toilet is a significant concern. It indicates a malfunction within the toilet tank, which can lead to a substantial increase in your water bill if left unaddressed.Why do I have a high water bill suddenly?
A sudden increase in your water bill can be attributed to several factors.
