Frequently Asked Questions About Our Plumbing Services
We’ve put together answers to some frequently asked questions about our plumbing services in Colorado Springs, CO, and Pueblo.
How can I tell I have a leak in my plumbing system?
There are a few telltale signs that let you know there might be a leak somewhere in your home coming from your pipes or fixtures:
- Increases in your water bill not explained by your usage levels
- Hearing running water in your home when all the taps are turned off
- Mold or wet spots on your walls or ceilings
- Sudden lack of water pressure when running your faucets or showers
- Water meter moving even when all taps are off
If you experience any of the above, contact us immediately to find the source of the leak and provide you with a fix.
What are some ways I can stop my pipes from freezing during the winters in Colorado Springs and Pueblo?
First of all, make sure all of your pipes are well-insulated in any parts of your home that aren’t heated, such as attics, crawl spaces, and garages. Second, unplug and drain your hoses outside your home before winter months. If you’re leaving your house, don’t fully turn off your heating. Instead, set your thermostat to 55 degrees Fahrenheit while you’re away. And, if you’re gone for an extended trip, it’s best to turn off your water, entirely, during that time. When temperatures dip below 10 degrees Fahrenheit, turn on your faucets to a slight steady drip to avoid freezing. You should always be aware of where your main shutoff valve is, though, in case your pipes do end up freezing and bursting to avoid excessive water damage.
Is a water softener necessary in Pueblo or Colorado Springs?
Yes, a water softener is highly beneficial in this part of Colorado due to the excessively hard water upwards of 200 to 350 ppm. Without a water softener, you may see your appliances like water heaters have a lifespan shortened by up to five years. You’ll also likely deal with physical discomfort in the form of itchy skin and scalp and dry, brittle hair. Not only that, but a water softener will help your soap work better so you need less of it to clean your dishes and clothing. Water softener installation can be highly cost-effective, since it saves you money on extra detergent.
Does this part of Colorado have an increased risk of sewer line problems?
If you have an older home in the area, especially if it was built before 1980, or if your home is built on soil with a heavy clay composition, you’re at an added risk of sewer line problems. The willow and cottonwood trees have roots that seek moisture and can also infiltrate and crack your sewer lines, so be aware of the trees on your property.
What shouldn’t I put down my drains?
The only things that should be going down your drains are water and soap (and, in the case of your toilet, toilet paper). You especially shouldn’t put the following down your drains to avoid stubborn clogs:
- Cooking oil, fat, or grease
- Paper towels or wipes (even if they say “flushable”)
- Hair
- Medications
- Chemicals
How old should my water heater be before I think about replacing it?
Your water heater may have more issues and require replacement after 10 years. If you’re needing frequent repairs at this point, it’s best to get a new one.
Do I need a permit for plumbing services in Colorado Springs, CO, or Pueblo?
You’ll need to get a permit from the local jurisdiction if you want any of the following completed:
- Replacing your water heater
- Repairing or replacing your sewer line
- Repiping
This is not an exhaustive list, so make sure to check with your plumber, and they’ll guide you through the process.
