A few different problems all at once
We have a ticking noise from the master shower (noise comes from the wall) when I turn on and it continues until I shut it off. What causes this? Any suggestions on what's going on? Is this a major plumbing issue?
I've also recently been noticing when I turn on the cold water that it comes out brown for a little while. I know its rust, but what's it coming from? Is there a simple solution to try first?
Lastly, I've noticed when I walk down stairs on our travertine floor that one particular area is "warm". Its close to the downstairs closet. Could this be a line break? If so, does the closet have any significance? Is this a major issue?
I'm not a very handy person and have no idea how my water works in the home.
Please help!
