Plumbing issues can be frustrating to deal with, especially when they never seem to get solved. The good news is that many of these recurring problems can be addressed effectively with the help of your trusted plumber in Cedar Park, TX. Here are some commonly recurring plumbing problems that Kinsey Plumbing Services can help fix for good.
Clogged Drains
Hair, grease, soap scum, and other debris can accumulate in drains over time, leading to clogs. To prevent clogs, use drain guards, avoid pouring grease down drains, and regularly schedule plumbing services that would keep your drain pipes functioning properly.
Pipe Leaks
Leaking pipes can cause water damage and mold growth if left untreated. Get a professional to inspect pipes for signs of corrosion, rust, or moisture. Usually, we will replace the damaged sections of the pipe and seal leaks with plumber’s tape or epoxy putty.
Leaky Faucets
Leaky faucets are often caused by worn-out washers or seals. Replace these parts as soon as you notice leaks to prevent further damage. Take it one step further by upgrading to new plumbing fixtures and making sure they have been installed properly.
Running Toilet
A running toilet can waste a significant amount of water and increase your water bill. Common causes include a faulty flapper valve or a fill valve that needs adjustment. Simple plumbing repairs such as flapper replacement or fill valve adjustment are typically sufficient to fix the issue.
Low Water Pressure
Low water pressure can be caused by mineral buildup in pipes, a partially closed shut-off valve, or a faulty pressure regulator. Clean aerators and showerheads regularly, check shut-off valves to ensure they’re fully open and replace any damaged pressure regulators. You can also consult your preferred plumbing company to pinpoint the main cause of water pressure issues.
Water Heater Issues
Sediment buildup in the water heater tank can reduce efficiency and lead to corrosion. Drain and flush the water heater regularly to remove sediment. If you notice leaks or strange noises from the water heater, it may be a sign of a more serious problem that requires professional attention.
For complex or recurring plumbing issues, it’s best to consult a licensed plumber for professional assessment and repairs. Contact Kinsey Plumbing Services for lasting plumbing solutions.
