Residential Plumbing Questions And Answers

Most people don't give much thought to their plumbing until something goes wrong. But, when it comes to residential plumbing, there are a lot of things that homeowners should be aware of and questions they should ask themselves before hiring a plumber. The following article is designed for homeowners in Corona, CA and surrounding areas who want to know the answers to some of the most common residential plumbing FAQs we get asked about here at Pro Plumbers Inc.

1. What is the most common residential plumbing problem?

The most common residential plumbing problem is clogged drains. This can happen for a variety of reasons, such as hair or grease getting caught in the pipes. When you have clogged drains, you may notice your sink or tub taking a long time to drain. You might also find that in the shower, water doesn't push out of the faucet at all. If this is happening for an extended period, it's likely you have clogged drains and will need expert service from our Corona plumbers.

2. How do I know if my water pressure is too high or low?

There are several ways to know if your water pressure is too high or low. Your water pressure is too high if you notice water shooting out of your faucet or shower and your toilet is running. You might also find that you have low water pressure if it takes a long time to fill up your bathtub or sink, or if the shower head sprays in an irregular pattern rather than a focused stream.

Many times, these problems with your water pressure can happen because of age or wear and tear on your plumbing system. This is why, it's important to have routine plumbing maintenance done by a licensed Corona plumber.

At Pro Plumbers, our team of plumbers are experts in water pressure problems and can fix any plumbing issue you might have. We will first troubleshoot your water lines, pipes, shutoff valves and faucets to make sure there are no other issues that could be causing your water pressure to go high or low. Then, we'll use our state-of-the art equipment to fix any plumbing parts that are worn down or damaged.

3. How often do sewer lines need to be replaced?

The life of your sewer line depends on the type of material it is made out of. There are some types of pipe that can last over 25 years, while others usually need replacing every 15 - 20 years. Our licensed plumbers at Pro Plumbers can help you decide if your sewer line is still in good shape or needs to be replaced. However, if you are noticing leaks in your sewer line, or if there's a crack that has formed in it, then you need to have a professional plumber come out right away to find those plumbing problems before they get worse.

4. Why do faucets leak?

Faucets leak for a variety of reasons, such as if there are dirty or worn seals inside your faucets, or if the water pressure in your home is too high. The pipes under your sink can also leak and wear down over time. If you notice that there's water coming from underneath your faucet but it doesn't shut off when you turn the knob on top, then these are signs of plumbing problems that need to be solved as soon as possible.

5. What is the most common problem with water heaters?

The most common problem with water heaters is it produces too little hot water. Often, this can be solved by turning up the temperature on the water tank's thermostat. Be careful not to turn the water too high, because this is a safety hazard.

Many homeowners in Corona and surrounding areas are switching to tankless water heaters because of its appealing features; one being its unlimited hot water supply. Unlike traditional water heaters, tankless water heaters heats the water when you need it, therefore, it is energy efficient.

6. Why do I need drain cleaning occasionally?

Whether your drain is clogged by hair or food, there's enough of it that won't let water run by. Cleaning your drains is the only way to unclog the pipes to let water drain out of your home. If you don't get your drains clean, clogged drains can cause backups and floods, which can be messy and costly.
