Common Plumbing Problems

We often get asked about the most common plumbing problems we deal with in the Fremont area. It does not matter what plumbing problem you may have; we have experienced working on it.

We dispatch our experienced plumbing crews as quickly as possible when you call for assistance, and here is a sample of what we do.

Dripping Faucets

Over time, the faucet washers can wear out, causing the water to leak past the shut off valve. Some faucets have a more difficult assembly design to change out washers, so let us give you a hand, we are fast and efficient with all the right parts and tools. Fixing the washer issue requires the right sized replacement washers and tools. We make sure you will have drip free faucets.

Leaky Pipes

It is important to call us right away, as water leaks can cause surrounding damage to the floor, cabinetry and walls.

If you notice your pipe connections have water seeping out of them that is a sure sign of a problem, give us a call. Depending of the location of the leak (usually at the fittings) we can fix it right away. Over time, leaking pipes can lead to the formation of mold and become a health concern.

Fixing leaking pipes requires some expertise and proper materials. Most of the time, it is easy to spot a leak by looking at the pipes or water stains on the walls, floor or the ceiling. So, call us asap for help.

Toilet Repair

We are experts with all plumbing fixture repairs and installation.

If the toilet float is not working properly then water in the holding tank flows into the overflow spillway. This may be the cause of the continuous running water sound.

Your holding tank may also have a poorly fitting flapper valve that is causing the running water sound. Certain float and flapper valve assemblies are proprietary and a little tricky to install.

So before the running water sounds coming from the toilet drive you crazy give us a call!

 

Reduced Water Pressure

If there is undetected water leaking in your system; this can be the reason why you are experiencing low water pressure.

It is also possible you have hard minerals in your water plugging up the pipes, but this is not too common in the Bay Area.

Whatever is causing your low water pressure, our licensed plumber will easily spot it and can often provide a quick solution. Often the solution is simply rinsing the sand from the aerator screen, or better yet replacing the screen. Sand sometimes accumulates on the aerator screen restricting water flow. If this is the problem, you can fix this by taking the aerator screen out and rinsing it off with running water, and reinstalling it.

Slow or Clogged Drain

The cause of a clogged drain in one area in the house may not be the same cause anywhere else.

So instead of using chemical drain cleaners that can cause other problems, we suggest you give us a call for an effective solution.

No worries, as we come prepared with the right tools to discover and fix the cause of the blockage.

Some clogged sewer pipes are caused by intruding tree or shrub roots, we can fix that also.

Whether it’s a kitchen, toilet or bathroom pipe, you can be sure we provide a quick professional solution.

 

Water Heater Repair

Our crews are very experienced at finding the water heater problem and fixing it as quickly as possible.

If you have an electric water heater, all you may need is a new heating element. The heating elements use 220 volts of electricity. So unless you have the knowledge and the tools needed for Fremont water heater repairs, you should simply give us a call, we’d be happy to help you safely get your hot water working again.

Running out of hot water is never convenient, especially if it is during a shower or a bath. If you have a gas water heater, you might need to install a new thermocouple or gas valve, so it is best to have an experienced plumber check it out and make any needed repairs.

Our experts can also inspect your hot water heater earthquake straps to make sure that your heater is properly restrained just the way it should.

The temperature and pressure (T&P) release valve is a very important safety feature that is commonly ignored, we can check that out also while we are there.

Tankless Water Heater Repair

We also install and repair tankless water heaters, which have gained popularity for many reasons. They can be more economical than the conventional water heater with storage tanks, many variables should be considered before converting over.

If you want more information about tankless water heaters, including how it can benefit you, talk to us. There are many factors (floor plan, water pipe & electrical rerouting, space requirements, energy savings, etc) that need to be taken into consideration.  We are available to discuss these considerations with you, to see if you could benefit.
