What Are the Most Common Plumbing Issues in Pomona?

The historical value of the area and its surrounding homes is astounding, but with that history comes a lot of plumbing upkeep to keep everyone safe and the city running smoothly. While we cannot do much about the aftermath of some of the worst natural disasters in the area, we can regularly maintain plumbing to ensure everything is up and running in the meantime. 

Some of the most common plumbing issues in Pomona include the following:

Mineral Buildup

Mineral buildup inside of pipes occurs over time. With the water quality in Pomona, this may happen sooner rather than later. As water flows through your pipes, minerals get deposited, until this eventually leads to low water pressure.

Mineral buildup in pipes plus other elements, like shampoo, soap, grease from food, among others, can also lead to sluggish drains.

Low Water Pressure

Low water pressure can result from leaks in your pipes. However, more often than not here, low water pressure is caused by mineral buildup. Mineral buildup restricts water flow, which decreases water pressure. 

Clogging

If you notice any kind of bubbling/gurgling noises, slower water movement, or leaking on or near one of your fixtures, you may be experiencing a clogging problem. If you notice your bathtub, toilet, and sink are clogged simultaneously, there’s a good chance the problem is in your sewer line.

This could lead to sewage backing up in your shower drain and one fixture backing up when another is used such as backup in your shower when doing laundry and/or toilet gurgling when a sink is in use.

Malfunctioning Appliances

Appliances such as water heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines are more prone to malfunctioning if your water is very hard. In the case of water heaters, for example, sediment gets deposited inside the tank. As this builds up, it stresses the heater by making it take longer to heat up, which also means that it’s going to increase your energy bill. Aside from that, the sediment creates a layer that makes it harder for heat to escape from the water heater, eventually causing it to overheat.

How Does the Water in Pomona Affect Your Plumbing?

Tap Safe reports that the water in Pomona is said, by the county of Riverside, California, to be among the best in the nation for overall water quality.

The water in California also ranges from hard to very hard, which can lead to several problems with your plumbing such as clogging and backup. The harder your water, the more likely it is to affect your plumbing negatively.

On the water hardness scale, Pomona’s water registers at 160-440, with an average of 259 parts per million or ppm. According to the USGS, this is very hard water. Harder water means more minerals.

Moreover, the latest EWG Pomona Water Quality Report found that there were not only 32 contaminants in the city’s water supply, but also 18 that exceed EWG health guidelines. While this doesn’t mean the water in Pomona isn’t drinkable (there’s no good way to rid the supply of all contaminants yet), it does mean your plumbing is more susceptible to mineral buildup that can also cause clogging and backups that lead to pipe cracks, leaks, and bursts when unchecked. 

How Much Does Plumbing Usually Cost in Pomona?

When budgeting for plumbing costs, several factors go into how much you’ll end up paying. The three most common are the cost of labor, the service you require, and whether you need inspections to identify the problem and the best action to be taken.

The average cost for a standard plumbing job in Pomona is about $495, with most residents paying a minimum of $467 and a maximum of $523. Here’s a more in-depth idea of how the following factors can impact that average cost for your service.

Hourly Rate

When budgeting for your upcoming plumbing service and determining how much it will cost you, one of the first things you should look at is the hourly rate. Sometimes, though, we may charge a flat-rate fee.

Required Service

As with nearly every industry, you also need to keep in mind the service you need to be done before tallying up your final costs. A simpler job, like repairing faucets, fixtures, and pipes can come out cheaper; a job like a bathtub installation can cost you a lot more.

It’s best to estimate higher than lower to ensure you know what costs to expect. Seemingly small jobs like leaking could be something bigger, costing more than you calculated. 

Inspections

Another overlooked cost factor is inspections. While many homeowners need this initial service to discover the plumbing problem, many have no idea that it adds to the final costs.

Give us a call so we can take a look at your plumbing and give you a proper estimate.

Can Better Plumbing Save You Money in Pomona?

In short, better plumbing can always save you money in Pomona. To give you an idea of just how much, here are some of the most common ways you can save a good amount of money by simply keeping up with regular maintenance and repairs:

  1. Utility bill costs: Homeowners can save a significant amount of money when a leak or two is fixed. The Environmental Protection Agency says as much as 10% of your water bill can be saved when you make the required repairs. They also suggest checking water usage during a colder month, such as January or February. If a family of four exceeds 12,000 gallons per month, there are serious leaks.
  2. Water damage: Another problem you may experience if you don’t maintain your plumbing is water damage and mold/mildew problems that grow and expand in areas where leaks occur regularly. Water damage (not including mold/mildew resolutions) can cost you as much as $2,000 to $5,000 to restore.
  3. Plumbing replacements and repairs: It cannot be emphasized enough how small problems can lead to or be a sign of bigger ones. A simple $50 leak repair can turn into thousands of dollars in repiping if the pipe cracks or bursts. 

When Should You Call the Water Utility Company in Pomona Vs Hire a Plumber?

One general way to determine whether to call a Pomona water utility company or hire a plumber is to discuss your plumbing problems with a few neighbors in your area. If you notice that others are experiencing the same problem, then you should call your water utility company. However, if you’re the only one, then give us a call. This doesn’t mean it’s not a water company problem, but fortunately, we’ll be able to help you figure it out.

For the sake of water conservation, the City of Pomona asks that residents make it a California way of life to conserve water and limit water waste. If you notice plumbing leaks and/or excess water runoff, it is critical that you either fix the problem immediately or contact the City to have the problem looked at and resolved as soon as possible.

When Do You Need Permits for Plumbing Service in Pomona?

According to the city of Pomona and the California Plumbing Code, a plumbing permit is required for the following services:

  • New drains, waste or vent pipings, traps, or valves 
  • New, relocated, or altered gas lines 
  • New or relocated plumbing fixtures such as sinks, toilets, baths, showers, floor drains, washing machines, and water softeners at a location where no fixtures previously existed
  • New, replacement, relocated, or altered water heaters 
  • New, replacement, or relocated dishwashers 
  • New lawn sprinkler systems, valves, and backflow devices

You are also required to get a new permit per new building, if applicable.
