Common Plumbing Issues We Fix
We see a wide range of plumbing problems in homes, and we’ve got the tools, experience, and local know-how to fix them right the first time.
- Recurring Drain Clogs: Frequent blockages can be a sign of buildup deep in your drain line. We use professional-grade equipment to remove the clog and help prevent it from coming back.
- Hidden & Visible Pipe Leaks: Whether it’s a small drip or a hidden leak behind your walls, we track it down fast to prevent water damage, structural issues, and mold growth.
- Constantly Running Toilets: A running toilet doesn’t just waste water; it strains your plumbing system. We make quick repairs by replacing worn-out internal components to restore normal operation.
- Hot Water Inconsistencies: Fluctuating water temperatures or limited hot water usually indicate water heater or supply issues that require expert inspection and repair.
- Poor or Uneven Water Pressure: Weak or inconsistent pressure can stem from corroded pipes, failing regulators, or mineral buildup, all problems our team is equipped to resolve.
- Sewage Backups & Overflows: Foul odors, slow drains, or standing wastewater may signal a sewer line blockage, which we diagnose and clear before it escalates into major damage.
- Freeze-Damaged Pipes: Cold snaps in East Tennessee can crack or burst pipes, and our emergency plumbers respond fast to repair damage and prevent further flooding.
- Jammed Garbage Disposals: When disposals grind poorly, hum without turning, or stop working entirely, we repair or replace the unit to get your kitchen back to normal.
- Main Water Line Leaks: Sudden drops in pressure, soggy yards, or rising water bills often trace back to underground main line leaks that require professional repair.
- Damaged or Aging Gas Piping: Older gas lines or corroded connections can create serious safety risks, which our licensed gas plumbers address with proper repairs or replacements.
- Sump Pump Malfunctions: A failing sump pump can leave basements and crawl spaces vulnerable during heavy rains, so we service and replace systems before storms hit.
- Yard & Outdoor Plumbing Problems: From broken hose bibs to leaking underground lines, we handle exterior plumbing issues that affect both your home and landscape.
- Sink, Tub, & Shower Drain Problems: Hair, soap, grease, and debris buildup commonly restrict bathroom and kitchen drains, which we clear thoroughly to restore smooth drainage.
Frequently Asked Questions About Our Services
How does hard, mineral-heavy water affect household plumbing systems?
Over time, mineral-rich water can lead to scale buildup inside water heaters, reduce flow in fixtures, and cause premature wear on rubber washers and seals. We offer routine inspections and maintenance services that help homeowners stay ahead of hard water damage.
Do frequent Tennessee storms increase the risk of sump pump failures or sewer backups?
Yes. Tennessee’s intense summer storms and heavy rainfall can overwhelm older or underpowered sump systems, especially in homes with basements or crawl spaces. Sewer systems can also back up when drains are clogged or when groundwater infiltrates your lines. We offer sump pump inspections, upgrades, and sewer camera diagnostics to help you stay dry year-round.
How do fluctuating water pressures impact fixtures, water heaters, and pipe joints?
Rapid pressure changes, often caused by municipal supply fluctuations or failing pressure regulators, can damage internal plumbing components and water heaters. If you notice loud banging noises (water hammer), leaking fixtures, or inconsistent flow, our licensed plumbers can test your system and recommend stabilizing upgrades.
