Common bathroom plumbing problems

The bathroom is where most household plumbing calls start. The usual issues:

Running or leaking toilets

A running toilet wastes water daily, and a leak at the base can rot the floor. See our dedicated toilet repair service.

Dripping faucets and leaky sinks

Worn cartridges and failed seals cause drips, and under-sink leaks quietly damage the vanity. See faucet repair.

Slow or clogged drains

Hair and soap scum clog bathroom sink, tub, and shower drains. We clear them properly rather than with chemicals. See drain cleaning.

Low water pressure

Weak pressure in the shower or sink can be a clogged aerator or showerhead, or a bigger pipe issue we can diagnose.

Leaks behind walls and under floors

A hidden leak from a shower valve or supply line can cause serious damage. We find it with leak detection and fix it.

Tub and shower problems

Leaky valves, failing diverters, and cracked or worn fixtures all get repaired or replaced.

Bathroom remodels

Remodeling a bathroom is one of the best returns you can get on a home, and the plumbing is the part you do not want done wrong. We handle the plumbing side of a remodel:

Whether you are updating a single bath or gutting one to the studs, we make sure the plumbing is right before the walls close up, so you are not chasing leaks later.

Moving or adding water and drain lines for a new layout
Installing new tubs, showers, and walk-in or curbless showers

Setting new toilets, sinks, and vanities
Installing new faucets, shower systems, and fixtures

Upgrading old pipe discovered during the remodel
Ensuring everything is vented and drained to code

Why is my bathroom sink draining slowly?

A slow bathroom sink is almost always hair, soap scum, and toothpaste building up around the stopper and in the P-trap. It is one of the most common bathroom calls. We clear it fully rather than just poking a hole through it, and we skip the chemical cleaners that damage pipe. If more than one drain is slow at once, that can point to a deeper drain or sewer issue we can inspect.

Local factors for bathroom plumbing in Hickory

Older homes. Bathrooms in the historic districts like Oakwood and Kenworth and older neighborhoods often have aging pipe, worn shutoff valves, and outdated fixtures we address as part of the work. Older homes may also have galvanized or polybutylene pipe worth replacing during a remodel.
Soft city water. Hickory’s soft to moderately soft city water is gentle on fixtures compared to hard-water areas, so scale buildup on showerheads and valves is less of a problem. See does Hickory have hard water.
Well water. On a well, sediment and hardness can affect fixtures and call for water treatment.
Moisture and crawlspaces. Bathrooms over crawlspaces can hide leaks, so we check the crawlspace when diagnosing a bathroom problem.
