Common Problems You Might Run Into
Here are a few plumbing problems that you might run into this spring:
1. Low Water Pressure
This is one of the most common spring plumbing issues that homeowners contact us over. There are typically a few reasons why this might happen in your home. One of the reasons could be due to the pipe’s condition. A pipe’s age can really take your plumbing quality downhill. The age coupled with things like corrosion or mineral deposits from hard water can make water pressure even worse.
The other reason has to do with potential pipe leaks. You’ll notice that your water pressure takes a steep nosedive if this is the case. Don’t ignore your low water pressure issues.
2. Sump Pump Issues
Your sump pump is spring’s savior. Now is the time to make sure that yours is in pristine shape before we encounter any potential floods. Sump pumps will save you lots of grief. Just make sure that you schedule an appointment with us for what you need.
3. Water Heater Problems
Have you noticed that your hot water temperature isn’t consistent? Maybe you’re noticing other signs of water heater trouble, like residue in the water or discoloration. Don’t ignore these types of water heater issues because you’ll only give them a chance to get worse with time. Water heater problems will make it hard for you to enjoy your home and it will cost you more in the process.
4. Clogs
Clogs are one of the most common problems that you might encounter this spring. If you have any dormant troubles in your home for the past season, spring is typically the time that they decide to rear their ugly heads. We don’t suggest that you try to solve a clog problem on your own. Professional service is one of the only things that will ensure that this problem doesn’t come back around too quickly.
5. Damaged Outdoor Plumbing
It gets cold here in Utah. If you didn’t winterize your outdoor plumbing this past season, then you might notice that you have problems when things thaw out. This could include burst outdoor pipes, cracked hose bibs, and more.
Don’t think that these are just surface-level or aesthetic problems. They can actually affect your plumbing. We’re going to help you fix these issues before they pose a threat to your plumbing system.
