Bathroom Plumbing: From Trends to Trouble Spots

For homeowners doing some remodeling, the trend is toward clean lines and simplicity – think vessel sinks on top of the counter, open waterfall spouts or single-lever faucets. But when you look at toilets and showers, we see our share of problems and upgrade requests:

Toilet issues

A running toilet is usually a bad flapper or fill valve, while calcium can ruin flush performance. In many cases an older unit will never flush as well as a modern low-flow model; it is better to replace it than to fight heavy mineral deposits.

Upgrades

For better comfort and performance we often install chair or ADA-style toilets (around 17 inches), elongated bowls or pressurized power-flush models.

Tub and shower

Hair clogs, worn stems, leaky valves and failing diverters are standard fare. You will also find low pressure and slow drains in the older homes we service.

Shower improvements

To avoid a shock of hot or cold water when someone else is using the house, switching to a thermostatic or pressure-balanced valve is a good move for safety and comfort.

Hot water

While the whole-house heater is the norm, a point-of-use electric unit works well for a powder room if running new lines is not feasible. Tubs may also need a properly set pressure relief or mixing valve to guard against scalding.

Dealing With Drain and Sewer Stoppages

Stoppages tend to be caused by a few things: tree roots in older sewer lines where the landscaping is right over the main, grease and soap scum, or those “flushable” wipes that do not break down and end up trapping debris.

An experienced plumber will use the proper machines and cutter head to clear the mains and then put a camera in to verify the line is clear. There is no comparison to the consumer rental units which only make a temporary passable channel in the pipe; our hydro jetting and professional cleaning get the job done edge-to-edge.

Our advice is to keep non-dissolvable items out of the toilet. And for anyone who has recently put down roots in the Navarre area, a camera inspection of the main line is a good way to have peace of mind and spot bellies or root intrusion before they turn into an emergency.

When to Call for Hydro Jetting

In some instances, like a commercial kitchen with heavy grease or a line with substantial deposits, hydro jetting is the tool of choice. It is essentially a pressure wash for the inside of the pipe, using 1,500 to 3,500 psi of water to restore flow in a way mechanical snaking cannot. We do not always recommend it for old, fragile cast-iron, however; an inspection will tell us the best course of action.

What to Expect in an Emergency

Sewage backups, water leaks, and stoppages are the usual suspects. We triage our emergency repairs according to the impact on the home or business:

A house-wide stoppage or a leak with the potential to flood is treated as an emergency and we will respond without delay.

If the problem is isolated to one fixture and there is no immediate danger, you can opt for non-emergency scheduling to sidestep the associated costs.

With an active leak threatening to cause damage, we will stop the flow and drain the system as necessary. Should a plumber be unable to get there in time, the local fire department can shut off the water at the meter.

Acting quickly is the only way to prevent extensive damage, especially with sewage. A periodic inspection and some regular maintenance goes a long way toward avoiding costly emergencies.

Gas Line Work: Safety Is Paramount

Any installation or repair of a gas line is done with strict adherence to safety protocol. That means shutting off the gas, performing the requisite pressure testing once the work is complete and coordinating with inspectors as needed.

There are certain piping systems and fittings for which a special installer certification is called for. A certified installer is the way to go to safeguard both the homeowner and the product warranty. As for gas leaks, they are no laughing matter; any leak in Navarre should be put to the test and isolated without delay by a plumber who is properly licensed and insured.

Water Heaters: Tank vs. Tankless

Tank models are the standard for a reason: they are reliable and straightforward to replace. If you see rust in the water or a pan is leaking, it is time for a new one.
With a tankless unit you get continuous hot water and don’t have to wait for recovery, but there are tradeoffs. Gas versions may up your usage when firing and demand higher BTU delivery. Electric ones can mean steeper bills and a need for electrical upgrades in some homes. They also have to be protected from the cold if put in an unheated area.
Most tankless repairs deal with sensors or ignitors fouled by combustion residue; a little cleaning and the odd part change is part of keeping them in order.

In the end, whether a tank or tankless is right for the home comes down to the household’s demand for hot water and the existing service, as well as how one weighs the benefits against operating and installation costs. An inspection and some consultation will point the way to the best upgrade for a home or business.

Kitchen Plumbing Highlights

A modern favorite is the undermount sink with a solid surface counter for a look that is seamless and easy to clean.
Garbage disposals are sealed off, so a leak means replacement. Faucet issues and the like are what bring a local plumber in.
An ice maker will call for a pump or a gravity drain through the cabinetry if there is no connection available.
Sometimes appliance installers will not touch an old or faulty stop at a dishwasher hookup, leaving it to a plumber. Professional drain services are also of benefit for kitchen clogs.

Sump Pumps, Well Pumps, Filters and Water Softeners

Sump pumps are necessary to clear groundwater from a crawlspace and should have check valves and a well-prepared pit. An alarm on the pump will give warning before things get out of hand.
If you are seeing low pressure around the house, the well pump has likely failed. Being sealed units, submersible and jet pumps are replaced, not rebuilt.
We look at the layout and fixtures to size a water softener correctly. These do much to prevent mineral buildup on valves and extend the life of your appliances.
Whole-house filtration is good for keeping debris off your cartridges and valves. We do not always recommend reverse osmosis for the whole house since those under-sink systems waste water in their cycling.

Toilet Repair and Water Savings

It is common for us to put in new flappers and fill valves to put an end to a running toilet. Newer trapway designs and low-flow models at 1.28 gallons per flush tend to do a better job than the old three-gallon variety while using less water. But a leaky toilet is a quick way to inflate the water bill and ought to be seen to as part of regular upkeep.

They showed up within the time they said they would, quickly figured out what was needed, then got to work right away. They did a great job replacing my water heater connections and a broken spigot. Everything worked without any issues and they checked inside my house to ensure nothing else was negatively affected. I would highly recommend them to anyone!
