Unexpected plumbing problems can turn a normal day into a stressful one. From toilets acting up to hot water disappearing mid-shower, homeowners are often left wondering what's actually going wrong — and whether it's something they can fix themselves. How can you determine whether it's a quick adjustment versus a sign of a bigger issue?

As plumbing expert Anthony Mound notes, many of these common frustrations stem from worn components, aging systems, or simple misunderstandings about how home plumbing works. He advises homeowners to watch for early warning signs like inconsistent water temperature, slow drainage, or unexplained leaks, and to avoid temporary DIY fixes that mask deeper problems. Routine maintenance, like inspecting water heaters and replacing small parts early, can prevent costly breakdowns and extend system life.

In this episode of Everyday Comfort, Chad Franzen of Rise25 hosts Anthony Mound, Owner of Trust 1 Services, to discuss common homeowner plumbing issues and practical solutions. Anthony explains how to diagnose toilet and drain problems, why hot water runs out quickly, and when tankless water heaters make sense.
