7 Common Plumbing Problems
From dripping faucets to low water pressure, here are seven common plumbing issues in San Jose and how to handle them.
1) No Hot Water
Check gas supply and temperature settings. Flush sediment from the tank. Call for water heater service if ignition or elements fail.
2) Leaky Pipes
Watch for musty odors, mold, or high bills. Replace worn seals and corroded fittings; consider repiping sections if leaks recur.
3) Dripping Faucets
Most drips come from worn cartridges or O‑rings. Use quality parts and correct torque to avoid repeat leaks.
4) Slow or Clogged Drains
Use plungers or drain snakes for minor clogs. For heavy grease or roots, schedule hydro jetting.
5) Running Toilets
Replace worn flappers and adjust chains. Silent leaks can waste hundreds of gallons daily.
6) Garbage Disposal Issues
Reset jams via the underside button or Allen port. Replace units with failed motors.
7) Low Water Pressure
Check valves, aerators, and pressure‑reducing valves. Hidden leaks or scale buildup may require professional repair.
