Denver CO Residential Plumbing ProblemsHomeowners, office managers, and maintenance departments often face the same issues related to a building's water supply for drinking, bathing and sewage purposes. Things can go wrong sometimes, and when they do, they need to be fixed as soon as possible. Some people are better prepared to handle plumbing issues than others with little knowledge or experience. But anyone may need to call a plumber if the situation cannot be repaired, or if it recurs. Although a number of plumbing issues can develop, here are the top nine plumbing problems that most of us face at some point.






Denver Plumbing Problem #9:Slow Running WaterIf the water stream from your sink, shower, or outdoor faucet is running too slow, there may be a problem with the hot water heater, the water pressure, the pipe, or the faucet. One of the parts may be rusted or broken, or there could be a drain clog that needs to be removed.

Denver Plumbing Problem #8:Slow Draining WaterIf the water in your sink or shower is backing up, it may signal a problem with the drain, the trap or the pipes. Sometimes there is just a stopped-up area that needs to be cleared with tools you can use at home, like a plunger or a snake. But you should never use a snake if you don't know how, as it could cause damage if used improperly.






Denver Plumbing Problem #7:Leaking Hot Water TankWhen water begins to drip or leak from the hot water tank, it needs to be checked by a professional plumber. While that might mean a repair is needed, it also could mean that the entire hot water tank is going bad and needs to be replaced. An expert plumber can examine the tank thoroughly to diagnose the problem and prevent worse damage to your home, and possibly, to the water heater.






Denver Plumbing Problem #6:Water is Too Hot or Too ColdWater that runs hotter or colder than it should means there is an issue with the hot water tank. That is another problem that needs to be inspected by a professional who can find out what is causing the problem and fix it or recommend replacement. Letting water run too hot could cause someone to be scalded, and most people do not like to bathe or wash dishes in water that is too cold.






Denver Plumbing Problem #5:Fluctuating Water TemperatureSome people notice that their water faucets run intermittently hot or cold. This makes it difficult to keep water the right temperature for various needs, whether as kitchen drinking water or laundry water.






Denver Plumbing Problem #4:Water Pressure FluctuatesWhen the water pressure ebbs and spurts by turns, there is likely a problem in the plumbing somewhere. Sometimes all that is needed is a minor adjustment, but unless you know what you're doing, it is best to let a professional handle it. Otherwise, you could end up making the problem worse by taking apart pipes that don't solve the problem. Then the plumber will have to put everything back together, charging more for the additional work than the original service call would have cost.






Denver Plumbing Problem #3:Stopped Up SinkMost of us have dealt with a kitchen or bathroom sink that got clogged. Usually this is a temporary problem that many people can fix on their own. But sometimes the problem becomes more complicated. Using corrosive drain cleaners can be hazardous to the plumbing and to people using it if they don't take adequate precautions. It's also bad for the environment. There are safer methods to use for fixing a clogged sink, or drain, but if you don't know what they are, it may be best to call a plumber.

Denver Plumbing Problem #2:Toilet Won’t Flush or Continuously RunsIf the toilet handle jiggles loosely and won't flush, it likely needs a part adjustment or replacement. When the toilet bowl runs without stopping, a new part should replace the old one. Occasionally, the entire toilet needs to be replaced. Some people can manage this job, but many call a plumber if they lack the skill or the time to do it themselves.

Denver Plumbing Problem #2:Toilet Repeatedly OverflowsA toilet overflow makes an inconvenient mess and usually is the result of a random event, like a toddler flushing a toy down the toilet, causing it to stop up and overflow. But when the toilet keeps overflowing, that might mean there is a more serious problem that needs to be addressed. If you don't know for sure, have an expert check it out before you spend time and money that may not fix the problem.

Solving Denver Plumbing ProblemsPlumbing problems can be annoying and expensive. To save time and money in the long run, have a plumber inspect your home or office pipes once a year to see if everything is in good condition. Repairs can be made then to head off major problems later. When a problem occurs unexpectedly, it may be best to call a plumber for experienced help in dealing with the issue correctly and quickly. A backed-up toilet or drain is not only inconvenient, it can be smelly and unhealthy, too.
