What are Common Plumbing Repair Jobs?

Even the best plumbing maintenance inspections won’t prevent the occasional clog or leak, especially in older homes. 

Dripping Faucets

You know how annoying this most common problem can be if you’ve ever tried to fall asleep with a dripping faucet in the next room or wrestled with a kitchen sink that didn’t know when to stop.  Dripping faucets will also drive up your  water bill.  A constant drip from a single faucet can send hundreds of gallons of water per year down your drain.

Low Water Pressure

If you have low water pressure even after cleaning faucet aerators and shower heads of sediment and deposits, you might have a more complex issue. Leaks or breaches in pipes leading into your home is an emergency that could damage your home’s infrastructure or foundation. If you develop a sudden and significant reduction in water pressure with no apparent known causes, it merits a call to a licensed plumber who can pinpoint the reason for the change.

Running Toilet

It might be time to replace your toilets inner parts if you find yourself  jiggling the handle to make your toilet behave after flushing. When the flapper valve that lets water pass from the tank to the bowl no longer fits properly, the float is imbalanced or the fill tube comes loose. Even though toilet repair kits work for most models and requires little effort to install, sometimes toilets run for more complex reasons.

If the flapper, float apparatus and fill tube has been replaced and you are still having issues, you may have sediment that’s affecting proper flushing and filling. Higher water bills could be an  indication of a silent leak. If you want to detect a silent leak in your toilet, add a few drops of food coloring to the upper tank and wait 15 to 20 minutes and then look in the bowl for any hint of color; if you see tinted water, your flapper valve isn’t working as it should.

Leaking Pipes

Whether an inspection reveals a puddle under a pipe or if you get an unpleasant surprise when you reach under your sink, leaks can be a costly nuisance and most water pipe leaks happen at the joints. 

Slow or Clogged Drains

When the filled water that fills your sink, tub or toilet won’t drain out, you've probably got a partial or complete clog. A plunger can fix minor problems. While plungers use air pressure to dislodge minor clogs, they can’t remove it entirely. Caustic commercial drain cleaners and clog removers are safe for most drains for occasional use, but these caustic materials can damage some pipe materials if used too frequently. Call a professional plumber if you have ongoing clog issues.
