Plumbing Repairs in Austin
Homeowners deal with various water problems. They range from mildly annoying like a dripping faucet to thousands of dollars in water damage from a leak or overflow. Here are some common plumbing issues our licensed plumbers regularly handle:
- Clogged toilet
- Running toilet
- Low water pressure
- Slow sink drain
- Water heater produces cold water
- Water heater springs a leak
- Garbage disposal jam
- Clogged drain
- Dripping faucet
- Sewer system backup (slow drains, odors, etc)
- Clog in water line to dishwasher, fridge, ice maker, etc.
- Sump pump won’t turn on
In some cases, the plumbing repair is localized to a fixture, like a faucet. In other cases, the problem is within the pipes. Our licensed plumbers are happy to help get things flowing again with drain cleaning or drain clearing.
What’s the difference? These terms are sometimes used interchangeably and sometimes from plumbing company to company. An inexpensive solution to a slow or clogged drain can be to puncture and/or break up the clog. A more comprehensive fix is to flush the drain of all debris and material.
Our plumbers also work with homeowners for leak detection. Have low water pressure? Check other faucets and with neighbors. If the low pressure is limited to your house or to one faucet, ask for leak detection. Another sign is an unexplained high water bill.
Other plumbing problems are due to sewer lines. Older homes with clay pipes or pipes connected to old municipal pipes often experience sewer line issues. Other issues are due to tree roots in the sewer line.
Our team uses a camera inspection to determine the exact cause before recommending a course of action, such as sewer line repair, sewer line re-piping or sewer replacement.
Emergency Plumber in Austin
What qualifies for a plumbing emergency? Great question. Here’s a handy list of situations to help you decide if you need emergency plumbing services or it can wait:
Toilet
Any situation with a clogged or broken toilet if it’s the only toilet in the house. If any toilet in your home has overflowed and sewage water is damaging your home, give us a call.
Water leak
A water leak from any source – a broken water heater, the water line from the refrigerator, dishwasher, ice maker, a frozen/burst pipe – can quickly create major damage. Avoid thousands of dollars in water damage restoration with a quick plumbing repair.
Sewer line backups
Is there a rotten egg odor, sinkholes or a swampy quality to your yard? You likely have a clog in your sewer line which causes even more damage and inconvenience to you and possibly your neighbors too. Do not use sinks, showers or toilets if you think you have a sewer line backup.
Blocked or clogged drain
One clogged drain might not seem like much but if it backs up and overflows, it could easily cause major damage. If sewage is involved, even more. Call for plumbing services.
