Plumbing Doesn’t Have to Be Scary.

Call Gary’s.

Strange noises. Mystery puddles. Pipes that bang in the night. Some plumbing problems are scarier than any haunted house, but you don’t have to face them alone.

What’s Haunting Your Plumbing?

Spot the Signs Before They Spook You


Spooky plumbing is any sound, smell, or leak that seems to come out of nowhere. Most of the time, it’s your home’s way of warning you about a problem before it gets worse.

The good news? Most of these frights have simple explanations and a fix to match.

Common Holiday Drain Problems:

What’s Behind the Spooky Sounds

A sink faucet and drain with running water

That eerie gurgle usually means a partial clog or a blocked vent is trapping air in the line. Instead: Get it cleared before it turns into a full backup.


Pipes leading to a water heater

Knocking when the water shuts off is usually water hammer, a pressure surge that shakes your pipes.

Why it matters:


Loosens fittings over time

Can lead to leaks

Stresses valves and appliances

Popping or rumbling from the tank usually means sediment has built up at the bottom. Warning signs:

  • Popping or knocking sounds
  • Hot water running out faster
  • Rusty or cloudy water

Water showing up where it shouldn’t? A hidden leak may be lurking behind a wall or under the floor.

Warning signs:


Damp spots or stains

A higher water bill

Musty smells
