Common Plumbing Problems in Sorrento
Leaky Roof Gutters?
Many homes in the area have ageing roof gutters with damaged or missing downpipes, causing water to run off unevenly. This can lead to damage to walls and foundations.
Sewer Line Congestion?
The narrow streets in Sorrento often result in sewer lines being congested, leading to backups and overflows of sewage into the drains.
Faulty Air Conditioning Compressor?
Older homes in the area may have air conditioning compressors that are no longer factory-rated or are worn out, requiring regular maintenance or replacement.
