Drains often clog because of hair, soap buildup, grease, food waste, or other debris accumulating inside the pipes.
Low water pressure can happen due to pipe leaks, mineral buildup in pipes, clogged aerators, or issues with the main water supply.
A running toilet is typically caused by a faulty flapper, fill valve, or float that doesn't properly stop the water flow in the tank.
