What Are the Most Common Plumbing Issues in Issaquah?

Homes across Issaquah are vulnerable to common plumbing issues like running toilets and dripping faucets. Some issues happen more often than others, though. If you are an Issaquah homeowner, these are the three plumbing issues you are most likely to experience: 

  • Clogged pipes. Clogged pipes may be due to something going down the drain that wasn’t meant to be there. Maybe you accidentally flushed something or put too much grease down the kitchen sink. Sometimes, though, pipes get clogged through no fault of the homeowner. In Issaquah, this is often due to invasive roots from trees that thrive in the wet conditions. Tree roots grow around your pipes, and sometimes they’ll find or make a crack and start growing inside the pipe, too. You’ll need the help of our professional plumbers to remove the clog. Our plumber will have special machinery designed to clear out the roots without damaging your pipes or your lawn. 
  • Leaking pipes. If you live in an older home in Issaquah, such as in the area of Olde Town, then you may have pipes made from lead or clay. These used to be the standard in plumbing, but they have a limited lifespan. They start to corrode and crumble, meaning your pipes could be leaking and you don’t even realize it. If you’ve noticed an unexplained increase in your water bill or a drop in your water pressure, those are both signs of a leak. Leaks can develop at the faucets because the minerals in Issaquah’s water limits the lifespan of o-rings and gaskets. Our Issaquah plumbers can help with leak detection and stop it at its source. 
  • Sewer backup. There is no plumbing issue more unpleasant than a sewer backup. Your plumbing system has safeguards in place to help prevent sewage from backing up into your home, but they aren’t guaranteed. Sewer backup from the city’s main sewer lines can happen due to a clog in the pipes, which could, again, be due to invasive tree roots. The sewage system can also become overloaded if there has been too much rainfall in a short amount of time, which any Issaquah resident knows is a real possibility. If the issue is happening a lot at your house, it’s worth talking to our experts about potential solutions. 

How Does the Water in Issaquah Affect Your Plumbing?

Issaquah’s water supply mostly comes from four groundwater wells. Groundwater wells often produce hard water, which is water with high levels of calcium carbonate in it. This calcium carbonate is safe to drink, but it can be tough on your plumbing. The minerals can leave behind deposits that build up over time. Those deposits can eventually lead to clogged pipes. Even worse, too much buildup can lead to mechanical failure in important plumbing equipment like your hot water heater. 

As of testing in 2019, the Issaquah water department measured the calcium carbonate levels as 74 ppm (parts per million). According to the USGS water hardness scale, that puts our water in the “moderately hard” range. So while our water isn’t as soft as Seattle’s, residents here don’t experience too many issues with mineral buildup as long as their plumbing is adequately maintained. If water hardness is an issue for you, though, you can talk to our plumbers about having a water softener installed in your home. 

How Much Does Plumbing Usually Cost in Issaquah?

The cost of our plumbing services will vary. An issue such as a running toilet can be quickly addressed, so you’ll pay around $50 for the job. Jobs are rarely simple, though. Plumbing issues are often difficult to diagnose, and sometimes they are symptoms of larger problems within your system. What’s important, though, is that you don’t wait to call our plumbers when you need one. Delaying could result in more damage and a much bigger repair bill. 

In Issaquah, homeowners will pay an average of $500 for a visit from our plumbers. How much you’ll pay will depend on these three factors: 

Cost Factor: The Cost of the Labor

Most of our plumbers charge by the hour. We’ll provide an estimate so that there are no surprises, but this does mean that more complicated jobs will be more expensive because they take more time. Some jobs demand a flat rate, which may save you money if they end up taking longer than planned. 

Cost Factor: The Price of the Materials

Almost every plumbing job will need materials. You might be replacing a broken toilet in your Issaquah Highlands home. Or you could need all new pipes in your Olde Town bungalow. You’ll need to pay for those materials, and what you choose will have a big impact on your final costs. Talk to our plumbers about your budget so they can help you find the right products and solutions to meet your needs.

Cost Factor: When You Need the Job Done

Did the pipes burst in your home in Tibbetts Creek Valley? Or is your Park Pointe home the victim of a sewage backup? Then you’ll need the help of our emergency plumbers. We are available in Issaquah 24 hours a day. If you need our assistance on the weekend or after normal business hours, prepare to pay a premium rate for service. It’s still worth it, though, because allowing these issues to continue could spell disaster for your property. 

Can Better Plumbing Save You Money in Issaquah?

Investing in your plumbing can definitely pay off in the long run. Here are two things you can do to save: 

  • Invest in better plumbing fixtures. If you need to replace part of the plumbing system in your home, replace it with quality equipment. That doesn’t mean you’ll have to pay top dollar, though. Talk to our plumbers about what brands they’d recommend. Their experience will tell them which products are worth it and which ones are more likely to break down or leak. 
  • Invest in a better plumber. Experience matters when it comes to a plumber, and that experience is worth paying a little extra to get. An experienced plumber like ours at Mr. Blue Plumbing is more likely to fix an issue the first time they visit, so you don’t end up paying for repeat repairs. We’ll also know what preventative measures to take to stop the problem from happening again in the future. When you hire our experts, it can make a huge difference in the cost of your repair bills in the long term. 

You’ll end up saving money on repairs and replacements if you do this. You’ll also end up saving on your monthly water bill. Investing in plumbing is an important part of Issaquah’s water conservation strategy. You’ll be doing your part for the environment while also cutting down on your utility costs. 

When Should You Call the Water Utility Company in Issaquah vs Hire a Plumber?

Whether you should call the City of Issaquah or our plumbers comes down to where the plumbing issue is happening. If it’s occurring on your property, then it’s your issue to resolve. The City of Issaquah defines this as any area between your water meter and your home. If the problem is there, then you’ll need to contact our plumbers in Issaquah to help you resolve the issue. 

If there is a leak on the city-owned property, though, you’ll want to report it. This includes: 

  • Leaks at the water meter
  • Sewer backup
  • Leaking fire hydrants
  • Broken water mains
  • Broken sewage lines

If you spot an issue on the city property, call them at 425-837-3470. The water department will investigate and take action. 

When Do You Need Permits for Plumbing Service in Issaquah?

You’ll need a permit in Issaquah for most plumbing projects. The only exception is a repair of an existing fixture that doesn’t change the pipework or the capacity of the unit. That means you can fix a running toilet or a leaking faucet without applying for a permit. You can also make aesthetic changes, such as swapping out an outdated faucet, as long as it doesn’t change any of the plumbing infrastructures in your house. For everything else, you’ll need a permit

The City of Issaquah will allow you to do some plumbing projects with an over-the-counter permit. That means the permit doesn’t require you to submit plans, which makes the approval process much quicker. Plumbing projects that qualify for an over-the-counter permit include:

  • Installing backflow devices
  • Single-family fixture installations, including installing an electric water heater

All other projects, including bathroom remodeling and adding plumbing fixtures to your property, will require you to submit plans to the city for approval. This can take longer, with most decisions made within 4 to 8 weeks. You can apply for permits online, and in most cases, can also submit your payment online. 

Working with our professional plumbers can make this process a lot smoother. They’ll understand which permit you need and what the application will require. They’ll also know how to submit the right information so you (hopefully) get an approval for your project sooner. Failing to apply for a permit can result in hefty fines and may make it difficult to sell your home in the future.
