What Are the Most Common Plumbing Issues in Woodland?

Wherever there is a pipe that holds water, eventually, there will be an issue. Water is a powerful element that can cut down even the tallest mountain with enough time, and pipes tend to take a little less time to bend to their will. Woodland is no stranger to the cutting power of water and has its common plumbing issues like:

  • Clogs in drains and fixtures. These can be caused or made worse by mineral deposits from the hard water in the city. They restrict flow and catch debris like hair and soap scum, leaving you with slow drains or full clogs. These can cause backflow if in the sewage pipes and standing or overflowing water in sinks and toilets.
  • Hard water deposits in pipes and drains. This can lead to clogging and corrosion which weakens and breaks pipes. You may experience leaks or low water pressure as a result of hard water mineral deposits in your pipes.
  • Appliances not cleaning. This could be a few reasons from broken internal mechanics, clogs, minerals from hard water, or aged pipes.
  • Hot water service slow or cold. Hot water tanks inside the home commonly leak and become corroded or full of mineral deposits. This is a major issue in Woodland because the minerals from the city’s hard water build up over time, make the tank less efficient, and limit the lifespan of your equipment.

No matter what the common issue, a professional plumber like ours needs to ascertain the damages to determine exactly how bad the system looks and what needs to be done to fix it. Hiring our plumbers to inspect pipes and appliances yearly could reduce the need for emergency repair costs later. Replacing the weakened or damaged pipes before they begin to leak will save in more than water, it will save in housing damage costs too.

How Does the Water in Woodland Affect Your Plumbing?

Recent changes to the source of Woodland’s water have improved not only its taste but the hardness and contaminates as well. Now sourcing from the Sacramento River, lead is no longer a concern. They have also eliminated Boron, Chromium VI, and reduced water hardness by 84.1%. This is wonderful news to your pipes and appliances as the water hardness has now become slightly softer, easier on the equipment. However, since the water hardness was high before, there can still be some build-up in pipes from the previous sources. You should see an improvement in your drinking taste, water pressure through new or cleaned pipes, and an improvement in the feel of your hair and skin after bathing.

How Much Does Plumbing Usually Cost in Woodland?

There are usually a few major factors that are calculated in our plumbers’ visits. We must be able to cover operations expenses to guarantee we will be able to return for your next plumbing need. Emergency services, large installations, labor, crew members, equipment, materials, and permits all add up to the total for the final bill. Flat rate fees for small or frequently completed jobs can range around $119, but larger jobs can reach up to around $875 in some cases.

Cost Factor: Materials

Fixtures will be ordered once the correct type and size are determined unless you choose to select the item yourself. Pipe costs can range from $0.30 to well over $5 per piece depending on the type and length needed. Valves, sealants, gaskets, and other smaller materials add up in the end. The cost of materials for a new piping installation can go well over $5,000.

Cost Factor: Project Size

After determining the material cost, our plumber must determine the cost of labor. How long the project will take is relevant to how big the project is. Larger projects like a new home installation will take several days, a crew of workers, major equipment, and a lot of materials. Equipment charges include maintenance, cleaning, and new parts like blades. Permits and inspections add to the bill but are usually not expensive.

Cost Factor: Emergent Services

One of the costliest things in plumbing a person can do is call at 2 AM for a leak. Though we have a service technician on staff to answer calls 24/7, after-hours calls can cost double the price. Not only will you be dealing with a horrible leak situation, but our plumber that responds will be charging fees for on-call time coverage. Reduce this cost by determining if you can safely shut off the water to the area before calling us. If you can, shut it off and allow the area to dry, and call during business hours. Be aware, if there is a natural disaster calling our plumbers out, they may have less availability.

Factors that affect each job are unique and can only be estimated prior to the job. For example, you call about the toilet leaking around its base. Our plumber estimates around $119 initially to come and check it out. They say it is possibly a gasket that needs to be replaced which could be done within that estimate. Once our plumber arrives, they find out you have a crack inside the toilet causing it to leak. The toilet needs to be replaced. Depending on the type of toilet you choose and how quickly the replacement can be obtained, your final bill will now look like $1,500- $2,500 and several days to obtain and install the new toilet. Bills change quickly when plumbing is not kept up to par and inspected yearly.

Can Better Plumbing Save You Money in Woodland?

Not only can better plumbing and plumbing inspections save money, but they can help save water and electricity. Upgrading systems in the home to higher technology and eco-safe products can reduce water bills and increase efficiency. Some of these changes include:

  • Installing a dual flush toilet.
  • Installing a tankless water heater.
  • Installing a digital shower monitor.
  • Installing low flow fixtures.
  • Replacing appliances with water and energy-smart upgrades.

Irrigation systems can benefit from installing weather smart sensors that decrease water irrigation if it has rained recently. Each of the suggestions has its benefit like tankless water heaters eliminate standing water inside the home and provide near-instant hot water. Shower monitors let you set the flow level and temperature for a perfect shower every time the water starts. Replacing appliances reduces the risk of breakdown while increasing water savings and energy savings. Ask our annual inspector what services could be added to better monitor and reduce your water usage.

Woodland offers rebates for different water solutions and conservation including weather-based irrigation controllers and rain barrel installation. Other rebates can be obtained through state or national companies. Porcelain toilets and other fixtures may be able to be recycled, and some money can be received for that. Woodland’s rebates reset each fiscal year beginning on July 1st.

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

While most of the time you see a leaking sink or puddle of water in the yard, and it has not rained, your first thought is to call our plumbers. Wait! Outside leaks could be on the other side of the meter and under the control of the water company. Here is a simple way to determine if the leak is on your property:

  • First, turn off the water main and locate your meter.
  • If the meter is still running, the leak is on your side. Call our plumbers.
  • If the meter stopped, the leak is on the city’s side. You will need to call the utility company and report the leak.

In either case, remember to collect as much information as possible before making the call. Mitigate as much water damage as possible to reduce in-home damages. Be sure the leak is not on your side of the meter before calling out the water company, because most will charge a fee for the call-out if the leak is determined to be yours. You will have this fee on top of the cost of our plumber. Some leaks are not visible to an untrained eye, like the toilet leak. This can cost hundreds of gallons of water every month and drive up water costs. Here is a simple 10-minute solution to detecting a toilet leak:

  • Remove the tank top and drop in enough dye to color the water.
  • Wait 10 minutes without flushing the water.
  • If there is a dye in the bowel then your inner tank equipment needs to be changed.

Remember to always clean out the dye to prevent staining. Some water companies will have the dye available for residential used to determine if tanks are leaking. Replacing a toilet tank flapper is an easy task, but should you not feel comfortable doing it yourself, it usually falls under our plumbers’ flat fee. Finding and repairing leaks not only saves water and money but also saves the cost of repairing invisible leak damage to cabinets and flooring should the leak have gone unnoticed for weeks or months.

When Do You Need Permits for Plumbing Service in Woodland?

A licensed, bonded, insured, and registered plumber like ours will know exactly when a permit is necessary for which work is done. Most of the time any time you must replace a pipe, fitting, valve, or major fixture, a permit and inspection will be necessary. Calls to the city must be made before any excavation work to determine where existing pipes and electric lines run. Fees for permits and inspections vary per job but do not normally run over $100.

It is imperative to remember to ask for the credentials of every person walking into your home to do repair work. Even though they usually cost less, the non-certified plumbers do not guarantee their work, and it can cost more to repair damages from inadequate work. Choosing our master plumbers who know the city’s codes and can provide documentation for a better plumbing experience.
