Myth #1: "Small Leaks Can Wait"

Reality: Even minor drips can cause major problems. A single drop per second wastes over 5 gallons annually, and more importantly, creates perfect conditions for mold growth and structural damage in Glasgow's older properties.

Myth #2: "WD-40 Fixes Everything"

Reality: While WD-40 has many uses, it's not a permanent plumbing solution. Using it on pipe joints can actually cause more harm than good by attracting dirt and preventing proper professional repairs.

Myth #3: "All Plumbers Charge the Same"

Reality: Pricing varies significantly across Glasgow. However, extremely low prices often indicate unqualified workers or hidden costs. Always verify Gas Safe registration and get written quotes.
