What Are the Most Common Plumbing Issues in Aurora?

Plumbing issues are not always based on a particular locality. It’s sometimes a different story in select cities more prone to natural disasters or in neighborhoods where older homes exist.

In Aurora, a typical plumbing problem is clogged drains, partly because flooding can easily happen here. One of the worst examples was in 2013 when drain clogs occurred due to sewer problems near homes and businesses.

General causes of clogs found at home, though, come from typical human living. Hair, dirt, or foreign objects cause clogs in sink drains. Sometimes it’s from natural causes like tree roots invading sewer systems.

Other common plumbing issues in Aurora include:

Clogged Toilets

You’ve no doubt experienced a clogged toilet once in a while in your Aurora home. Using a plunger or a snake you bought on Amazon doesn’t always work. Without proper experience, snakes potentially cause damage.

The use of cameras for inspection is the new, technological way to diagnose clogged toilets and drains. Never try fixing the problem on your own using makeshift objects.

Clogs in the Sewer Line

When all of your plumbing starts acting up simultaneously, it’s a sure sign of a clogged sewer line. You might notice your toilet making gurgling noises when turning on sinks or starting your washing machine.

These point to a main sewer line clog that only professional plumbers like Mr. Blue Plumbing can fix. These scenarios do take more time to repair, but sometimes a seasonal problem from leaves clogging drainage systems occurs as well.

A Water Leak

Leaks are just as common as clogs. When you notice a leak from a water pipe, trouble might be around the corner. Your leak may start slow, without anyone in the house noticing moisture accumulating under your sinks.

Water leaks like this only lead to mildew and mold. If a major leak occurs, flooding is always possible. Any sign of a leak needs immediate attention from a plumber.

The City of Aurora states that all homeowners are responsible for the maintenance and repair of the service line. This is the part of the line extending from your home and into the main street, eventually connecting with the water utility’s mainline.

Deteriorating Water Pipes

Living in an older home like those common in Aurora can potentially mean aged pipes, potentially turning your water into a disgusting red or brown color. Rusty pipes are the cause, which is natural and due to decades-long exposure to moisture.

Replacing aging pipes in homes is a common practice. Old brass pipes typically wear out faster in your Aurora home if they’ve been there for more than a decade. Copper pipes wear out after about 50 years, and steel pipes about 75 years.

One major sign of old pipes is low water pressure while you shower or turn on sinks.

How Does the Water in Aurora Affect Your Plumbing?

All water in Aurora is safe, thanks to Aurora Water reminding us that they have some of the best H20 in the United States. Yet, water can directly cause plumbing issues, usually through what’s called hard water, which we have in Aurora.

Your water needs to stay soft to prevent it from affecting your plumbing. Hard water occurs when water accumulates too many minerals like calcium or magnesium. Once this type of water gets into your pipes, it creates clogs. It does this because hard water frequently turns into soap scum after reacting with soap.

The buildup of mineral scale from hard water in water pipes is a big problem our plumbers encounter often. To prevent it, a water softener is usually used. Unfortunately, not every homeowner knows mineral deposits are building up in their water pipes.

Despite this being a leading plumbing issue, general flooding also causes plumbing problems. Flooding is always a possibility in Aurora based on past weather records. If your drainage systems aren’t properly working, water becomes a plumbing enemy.

How Much Does Plumbing Usually Cost in Aurora?

What you pay depends on the issue’s severity. Plumbing repair is always going to stay at scale level. Much of this varies based on what our plumbers discover in your home or business.

The average cost for plumbing repair in Aurora is $466. Minor repairs may cost just $100 or so. On the high end, the cost could go as high as $493 for average repair.

Let’s take a look at some of the biggest cost factors and what they might mean for you.

Pipe Replacement

Some plumbing jobs go beyond fixing a basic leak or clog. Your pipes may be so old and rusted that they need replacing. This could cost several thousands of dollars, depending on how many new pipes you need.

Copper pipes cost the most per linear foot, with PVC or PEX pipes costing slightly less.

Labor Time

During a flood, a plumbing job could take longer to complete. Fixing clogged drains in floods is sometimes a complicated and messy job. It might take more than one day to completely fix everything, based on the severity.

Those repairs could take even longer if another major disaster occurs and disrupts water lines. Colorado is also overdue for earthquakes after having some decades ago. If one occurs again, it could disrupt water lines for days. Flooding is far more prevalent, though, and could happen again very soon.

Most plumbing jobs still get fixed in one day. Regardless, labor time is a major cost factor that goes beyond required plumbing materials.

Additional Plumbing Materials

Perhaps you need more than just new pipes. Those can sometimes cost more, albeit other materials costing nearly as much. A water heater replacement alone is going to add more, not including possible septic system repair or a replacement.

Hauling Away Old Plumbing Materials

With bigger plumbing jobs, it’s going to involve discarding old piping and other removed equipment. Replacing a water heater requires finding a place to dispose of the old one at a scrap metal dealer or recycle center.

Discarding old water pipes is also not easy after work is completed. Our plumbers can do this for you, costing you extra.

Can Better Plumbing Save You Money in Aurora?

Any plumbing upgrade is going to save you money over time since it prevents future issues from developing. Investing in a good plumbing service like Mr. Blue’s is well worth the money considering more complex repairs raise the cost by double or more.

If you catch most plumbing issues early, you never have to worry about replacing your pipes or other equipment. Most plumbing issues can get fixed affordably if you pay attention to what’s happening and avoid ignoring them.

For expert plumbing, it’s a good idea to hire a master plumber like ours with more specialized skills. Our plumbers have ten or more years of experience after previously working as a journeyman. Hiring our experts for advanced work guarantees an expert fix.

Another thing to consider is the age of your home and plumbing upgrades. A lot of older homes still exist in Aurora, sometimes without new pipes or fixtures. While these homes usually sell for cheap, investing in better water pipes is a must if they’ve never been replaced. Copper water pipes are a good investment since they’re more durable in natural disasters. PEX/PVC water pipes are also popular and easily expand during deep freezes.

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

Plumbing problems sometimes come from nearby water pipes belonging to your local water utility, which is Aurora Water. Should you call them now if you discover a leak somewhere in the pipeline?

It all depends on where the leak is. If you call Aurora Water first, remember they’ll only repair any leak they discover on their side of your water meter.

One way to tell if a leak exists is to turn off your water and do a water meter check. Are the white numbers on your meter still turning? If so, then you have a leak somewhere on your property. Doing this test yourself saves money because Aurora Water may charge you for checking where the leak is.

Only then should you call us, since Aurora Water probably won’t repair your leaks.

After you get your plumbing bill, present it to the water utility. They may give you a bill credit for the discovered leakage and early report.

When Do You Need Permits for Plumbing Service in Aurora?

Obtaining permits to do plumbing work can sometimes be confusing and complicated. It’s mandatory if our plumber does repair work in your home or your commercial business.

Based on Aurora’s laws, our plumbers need a Colorado master’s or contractor’s permit license to do any work. This license needs to be filed with the Building Division. No separate plumbing license exists, making things a little easier.

Also, you need to obtain a valid Colorado State Plumbing permit before any plumbing takes place in Aurora. All plumbing installations have to conform to the International Plumbing Code (IPC) before any work begins. Each permit is good for one year, no matter who gets one.

Homeowners can get plumbing permits, yet a different permit is required when hiring a company like us to do the work for you. Numerous fees are also involved, depending on what’s done. For instance, you’ll have to pay additional permit fees if more than one plumbing item is installed from the original estimation.

Reinspection fees also need consideration, not including trim permit fees if extending the permit. When a plumbing project takes a little longer than planned, you can extend a plumbing permit one time for six months.
