Old Pipes
Pipes usually last a while, but they won’t last forever. Older pipes may be made from metals that can be weakened by corrosion and when corrosion occurs the pipe weakens until it eventually breaks due to rust or other damage related issues – this is when you start seeing leaks in your property which could potentially cause major problems if left unchecked for too long! If you have worn out pipes like these at home then we would recommend upgrading them with newer ones as soon as possible because old corroded piping can cause serious water leakages and damages!
Pipe Corrosion and Aging Pipes
The pipes in my house are turning yellow. Should I be worried? People with plumbing systems often find themselves dealing with rust and corrosion as they age, which can both lead to leaks or clogs that need professional attention from a plumbing company in Costa Mesa! If you notice spots of corroded metal on your pipe- a sign the problem is more severe than it seems – consider replacing any at risk materials like cast iron because over time these will only get worse without repairs.
Tree Root Intrusion
If you notice any new wet patches in your yard, a sudden drop in water pressure, or if trees are growing near to the house then there could be an intrusion from those pesky root systems! Rest assured with the help of our expert plumbers at Elder & Young. We’ll use leak detection equipment and fix up that plumbing problem quickly for you.
Foundation Shifting and Settling
The pipes in your house in Costa Mesa may be more fragile than you might think. One of the reasons is that they have to move with what’s happening around them, and if there’s a problem elsewhere like erosion or an earthquake then the whole foundation can shift which will make everything go out of whack including anything connected to it such as water pressure changes and color issues. If this happens, don’t panic! The first step should be turning off all appliances so nothing gets damaged even further; next call for professional help because these situations aren’t going anywhere on their own anytime soon.
What are the frequent symptoms of clogged drain or pipe in Costa Mesa, California?
Wet Spots on Floor Around Sinks, Toilets and Tubs
If you notice a wet spot on the floor around a sink, toilet or tub, it may be nothing, or, it may be due to a water leak. Homeowners should regularly inspect the areas around sinks, toilets and tubs and look for wet spots or discoloration. If you notice don’t notice anything unusual, and the moisture persists, you could have a cracked toilet, or it could be something else. If nothing stands out, call a professional plumber for help. We’ll find the source of the water and solve the plumbing problem.
Water in the Street
It is important to know the signs of a leaking main water line. When there’s nowhere for the overflow from your pipe to go, it will often seep up right in front of your home at the street! If you notice bubbling water on the street then they should contact a professional plumber immediately before any more damage can be done.
Dark Areas on Concrete, Warped Flooring, Lifting Tiles, Wet Areas on the Floor or Carpet
Leaking water damages homes by seeping into their foundation and weakening structural components like walls, floors, and ceilings over time; this in turn causes cracks throughout your house. Unchecked leaking water is an all-around bad situation for homeowners because it not only affects the appearance of a property but also its safety – if left alone long enough, leakage could lead to demolition needs or expensive repair jobs as well! If you notice any of these issues, contact a plumber for help immediately!
Wet Spots Next to Walls
Water flows downhill. If you have a wet spot next to a wall that is next to a bathroom, it may be a sign of a leak in the bathroom or within the wall between the two rooms. However, if there is no bathroom next to a wet spot next to a wall, it’s likely that the water the result of a water leak that is coming from above and running down the wall and pooling at the floor. In these situations, it’s important to contact a plumber immediately to mitigate the damages that are being done. These situations if not taken care of early can lead to mold and other damage. A professional plumber will use the latest electronic leak detection equipment to detect the location of the leak so that it can be fixed quickly without tearing down walls or the ceiling to find it and fix it.
Puddles Inside or Outside Your Home
If you have water accumulating or puddling inside or outside your home, whether it be in a walkway, or on a floor, it could be an indicator of a water leak in the pipes. While some problems are easier to diagnose and detect, the leaks inside walls and underground are more challenging and special leak detection equipment may be necessary. If you suspect a leak that you can’t see, call us to schedule a service call immediately.
What Causes Clogged Drains and Sewer Backups?
Clogs happen when everyday waste and debris slowly collect inside your plumbing. These are the typical causes we see in California homes:
- Oils and food residue that cling to the inside of pipes
- Hair, soap, and toothpaste in bathroom drains
- Ground-up food waste that doesn’t fully break down
- Tree roots invading main sewer lines
- Corroded metal or broken clay sewer lines restricting flow
We’ll identify the true cause of your clog and help you prevent it from happening again with expert advice and maintenance tips.
If you notice slow drains, bubbling, or foul odors, contact us right away before it becomes an emergency.
