What are the Most Common Plumbing Problems?

Plumbing issues can be a headache for homeowners and business owners alike.

Some of the most common plumbing problems you'll encounter include:

Dripping faucets: When a faucet continues to leak even when it's turned off, it can be a major annoyance and can waste water.
Clogged drains: A clogged drain is a common problem that can cause slow draining or even backups in sinks, showers, and toilets.
Leaking pipes: Whether it's a small pinhole leak or a larger burst pipe, leaking pipes can cause water damage throughout your property if left untreated.
Running toilets: A running toilet wastes water and increases your utility bill.
Low water pressure: This could be caused by clogs or leaks in the plumbing system or issues with the city's water supply.

If you're experiencing any common plumbing problems, it's best to leave it to the professionals. Attempting to fix them alone could lead to further damage and potentially costly repairs.

Why Does Your Drain Keep Getting Clogged?

Your drain’s persistent clogs might be a symptom of a larger issue. Common culprits include a gradual buildup of hair, soap scum, and grease that forms a stubborn blockage over time. Tree roots can also infiltrate your aging pipes, causing significant obstructions. When items like wipes, food scraps, or coffee grounds find their way into your sewage system, they also contribute to clogs.

Underlying problems like pipe corrosion or a low sewer line slope may exacerbate the issue. A drain camera inspection will help you identify and resolve the root cause of persistent drain clogs.

When Should You Book a Drain Camera Inspection?

A drain camera inspection is a cutting-edge diagnostic procedure to visually inspect the inside of your plumbing system without requiring invasive digging or dismantling. Our process involves inserting our specialized waterproof camera, attached to a flexible cable, into your drain or sewer line. As our camera navigates through your pipes, real-time footage is transmitted to our monitor, allowing our plumber to examine the condition of your pipes and identify any blockages, cracks, root intrusions, or other potential issues.

Our precise, non-destructive method lets us pinpoint the exact location and nature of your blockage or plumbing problem, ensuring any necessary repairs are accurate and minimally disruptive.

It’s wise to schedule a drain camera inspection when you experience any of the following drainage issues:

Recurring drain clogs
Slow drainage
Unpleasant odors (from your drainage system)
Sewage backups
Before purchasing a home
After significant renovations

What Causes Low Water Pressure?

Low water pressure in your home can result from a variety of issues, including clogged pipes, leaks, partially closed valves, or faulty pressure regulators. To diagnose the problem, our plumbers ask questions to understand when the issue started and how it’s affecting your water pressure. We then check your water meter and main shutoff valve to ensure they’re fully open and functioning correctly.

Next, we inspect individual fixtures to determine whether the problem is isolated to a specific area or affects your entire home. If your fixtures are not the source of the issue, we continue our investigation by examining your pipes for potential leaks or clogs. If your home has a pressure regulator, we also test it to ensure it’s operating correctly.

Low water pressure may sometimes be linked to issues with your municipal water supply. To rule this out, we use a water pressure gauge to measure the pressure coming into your home and confirm whether the problem lies within your plumbing system or external water supply.

Why Is Your Toilet Running Continuously?

A constantly running toilet can be as annoying as it is wasteful. This issue often arises from a faulty fill valve, which regulates the water level in your toilet’s tank. Other common causes include a worn-out flapper that fails to seal properly or a clogged overflow tube that keeps water flowing. In some cases, more complex issues like a leaking ballcock assembly or a cracked tank may be to blame.

To resolve the problem, we start by listening to the different sounds your toilet is making to identify the cause. Once pinpointed, we may replace worn-out parts, adjust components, or address any more complex issues to ensure your toilet stops running excessively and functions properly again.

How Long Does It Take To Fix a Leaky Faucet?

Straightforward faucet repairs generally take between one and two hours. The exact duration will depend on your faucet’s complexity, damage type, and any specialized repair or replacement components required. Our plumbers are well-versed in stopping leaks in compression, ball, disc, and cartridge faucets.

When you connect with us to discuss faucet repair services, we’ll give you an upfront estimate and an approximate turnaround time based on your details.

What's Considered an Emergency Plumbing Issue?

Some plumbing issues can't wait for regular business hours to be addressed. These are considered emergency plumbing issues and should be handled immediately by our professional plumbers.

Examples of emergency plumbing issues include:

Burst pipes: These can be caused by frozen pipes or wear and tear over time. If not addressed immediately, burst pipes can cause significant damage to your home.
Sewer backups: This is one of the most unpleasant plumbing problems as it can cause raw sewage to back up into your home or yard.
Gas leaks: Any gas leak is dangerous and requires immediate attention from professional plumbers.
No water: If you suddenly have no running water in your home, it could be a sign of a major issue with your plumbing system.

What Should You Do When You Suspect a Gas Leak?

A gas leak can be a dangerous and invisible threat in your home. You might notice a strong, sulfur-like odor that reminds you of rotten eggs. Gas companies add this scent to their products to make it easier for you to detect leaks. Other signs include a hissing or whistling sound near your gas appliances and dead or dying plants around gas lines.

If you suspect a gas leak, leave your home and property immediately, avoid using any electrical devices, notify your neighbors, and call for emergency gas line inspection and repair services.

How Often Should You Schedule Plumbing Maintenance?

It's always better to be proactive than reactive when it comes to plumbing maintenance. Regular checks and maintenance can help prevent major issues from occurring in the first place.

It is recommended that you schedule plumbing maintenance at least once a year. This includes checking for leaks, testing water pressure, inspecting pipes, and examining fixtures for wear and tear. It's also a good idea to have your water heater inspected and flushed annually to keep it in top working condition.

When Do You Need to Replace Your Plumbing System?

While regular maintenance can help extend the lifespan of your plumbing system, there will eventually come a time when it needs to be replaced.

Here are some signs that it's time for a new plumbing system:

Constant repairs: If you find yourself constantly calling for plumbing repairs, replacing your entire system may be more cost-effective in the long run.
Old age: Most plumbing systems have a lifespan of 20-50 years, depending on the materials used. If your system is approaching this age range, it's time to start thinking about replacement.
Visible corrosion or rust: This can indicate serious damage and deterioration within your pipes, which can lead to leaks or bursts if left unchecked.
Low water pressure: If you notice a decrease in water pressure throughout your home, it could be a sign of major blockages or damage within your plumbing system.
Strange odors or discoloration in water: This could indicate contamination within your pipes, which can pose health risks to you and your family.

What’s the Typical Lifespan of a Water Heater?

The typical lifespan of a water heater is between eight and twelve years, depending on the quality of its initial installation, whether it’s an electric or gas model, and whether it’s a well-maintained or neglected appliance. Generally, replacing heating elements, inspecting your tank for cracks, corrosion, or leaks, and removing sediment buildup is the best way to achieve maximum performance and longevity.

What Are the Benefits of Installing Residential Natural Gas Lines?

Connecting your home to a natural gas source offers significant benefits, from enhanced comfort to increased efficiency. Natural gas provides a reliable and consistent energy supply that improves your home’s heating, cooking, and overall functionality.

With natural gas, you can enjoy precise temperature control from efficient heating systems, superior cooking performance from gas stoves and grills, and the cozy ambiance of a gas fireplace. A tankless water heater connected to your home’s gas system also ensures hot water is always available on demand.

Installing natural gas infrastructure boosts your home’s comfort and adds to its resale value. Plus, natural gas is a cleaner-burning fuel compared to other fossil fuels, which helps you reduce your environmental footprint. By switching to natural gas, you can eliminate the need for bulky fuel tanks and enjoy a seamless, uninterrupted energy supply for your home.

Do You Need a Permit To Add a New Gas Line to Your Kitchen?

Yes, you need a permit to make any changes to plumbing systems, including adding a new gas line. Let us handle your permit application to ensure all required documents and information are included and submitted to the correct authorities.
