Frequently Asked Plumbing Questions in Castaic & Santa Clarita
💧 General Plumbing
Q: What are the signs of a hidden leak in my home? A: Look for unexplained water bill increases, musty odors, damp spots on walls or floors, and running toilets. These often point to leaks behind walls or under slabs. Learn more about leak detection
Q: How often should I have my plumbing inspected? A: Every 1–2 years is ideal, especially for older homes or after seasonal shifts. Preventive inspections catch small issues before they become costly repairs.
🚿 Drain & Sewer
Q: What causes recurring drain clogs? A: Common causes include grease buildup, hair, tree roots, and improper pipe slope. We use advanced diagnostics to identify and resolve the root issue—not just the symptom. Explore our drain cleaning services
Q: Can you clean storm drains on residential properties? A: Yes. We specialize in storm drain cleaning for homes in Castaic and Santa Clarita, especially before and after heavy rains to prevent flooding and foundation damage. Read our blog on storm drain maintenance
Q: What’s the difference between snaking and hydro jetting? A: Snaking breaks up clogs mechanically. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to fully clean the pipe walls—ideal for grease, sludge, and roots.
⚙️ Water Pressure & Regulators
Q: What happens if my water pressure is too high? A: Pressure over 100 psi can damage pipes, blow seals in appliances, and cause water heater valves to discharge. A failed regulator is often the culprit.
Q: How do I know if my pressure regulator is failing? A: Signs include fluctuating pressure, noisy pipes, and leaks at multiple fixtures. We can test and replace regulators to protect your system. Check our blog on water pressure regulators
🔥 Water Heaters
Q: Why is my water heater making noise? A: Sediment buildup is the most common cause. It can lead to overheating and reduced efficiency. Flushing the tank or replacing the anode rod may help.
Q: Do you install tankless water heaters? A: Yes. We size and install tankless systems based on your household’s hot water needs, ensuring long-term performance and energy savings.
Q: What’s the lifespan of a typical water heater? A: Standard tank heaters last 8–12 years. Tankless units can last 15–20 years with proper maintenance. Visit our water heater service page
