5 Common Plumbing Problems

Plumbing issues can arise at any time, from the relatively minor and inexpensive, such as a dripping faucet or running toilet, to a disastrous sewer system backup.  As homes in Santa Clara age, it's natural to have some plumbing problems. Being aware of the common plumbing problems and causes helps you know when to call Simply Green Plumbing.

1. CLOGGED DRAINS AND TOILETS

Slow or clogged drains occur when something is partially or completely blocking the drain.

If you see water backing up in the sink, shower, or toilet, a clogged drain is likely. Items that may enter your drains or toilet include hair, small toys, or non-dissolvable waste.

You can prevent toilet clogs by only flushing dissolvable waste products down the toilet. In showers, use a hair catcher over the drain so loose strands don’t collect inside the drainpipe.

2. LEAKY FAUCETS AND PIPES

Leaking faucets and pipes are common plumbing problems in Santa Clara residences. Fixing the leaks in your home could save up to 10 percent on your water bill. Leaking faucets are easy to spot.  You can usually hear the drips even if you aren’t in the room. Leaking pipes can cause further damage if you don’t catch the problem immediately.

You can spot leaks early with regular inspection. Look for moisture or small drips. Visible rusting or white lime deposits can signal the potential for leaking.

3. WATER HEATER ISSUES

Water heater issues are usually easy to spot. Dripping water, puddles of water, discolored water, cooler water, and noises coming from the water heater unit are signs of a problem. Many water heater issues require professional help due to their complexity. Leaks, sediment, and mineral deposits are the main causes of water heater problems.

Routine maintenance helps your water heater run efficiently and prevents costly repairs. Check the pressure valve regularly. Look around the tank occasionally to check for drips and leaks that could indicate a bigger problem.

4. LOW WATER PRESSURE

Depending on the cause, low water pressure can happen suddenly or slowly get worse over time.  Resolving the issue is a priority to get back to normal water use. That same loss of pressure happens if a pipe is leaking within your Santa Clara home. Another potential cause is the build-up of minerals and sediment in the pipes. That build-up slows the water flow, resulting in low pressure.

5. RUNNING TOILET

Toilet plumbing problems come in many forms, but a running toilet is one of the most annoying. The toilet still works, but it constantly runs resulting in wasted water. This situation often happens when the inner workings of the toilet no longer work properly. You can inspect the components regularly to ensure they are all in good working condition.
