Ever hear pipes knocking while taking a shower? This is a scary sound to hear, and may mean that the pieces supporting your pipes might not be doing their job and need to be replaced. This sound could also be caused by too-high water pressure in your home. If avoided, this could cost hundreds of dollars in the future after one of those knocking pipes begins to leak.

Turning on your sink and not getting water pressure like you used to? There are plenty of causes to this problem, some being more serious than others, but it is hard to tell without help from an experienced plumber, It could be caused by a clogged pipe, a pipe that has burst, and is already leaking behind your wall, or damage to your home’s water heater.

Have you ever tried to unsuccessfully unclog your toilet? It’s time to contact a plumber. Things go down our drains, whether it is intentional with bathroom products or unintentionally by a exploratory and confused child, that don’t actually belong there and can potentially cause great damage to your bathroom.

A slow drain in your sinks or bathtub is an annoying issue, but doesn’t seem major. Many homeowners try to fix this with a DIY plumbing, that typically proves unsuccessful, or only temporarily fixes what could be–or turn into– a major problem. This draining issue could be caused by a damaged pipe or poor drainage. Remember, both of these causes secretly create a build up of water behind the walls of your home, which can lead to the growth of mold, being dangerous for you and your family. Gilbert Plumbing is here to help and keep your family safe!

A leaky faucet might seem like a minor issue, and nothing but a few dollars more per month on your water bill, but it can be caused by something much bigger. Possible causes of a leaking faucet include too-high water pressure, poor draining of unused water, or damaged valves.

Seeing colored water sounds disturbing, and the cause depends on the color. Opaque or white running water shows that there is air in your pipes, while water with a brown tint (may also appear red or yellow) means rust, usually due to old piping or a broken water main. Seeing green, or even worse, blue, in your water shows corrosion. You should contact us as soon as you see one of these signs.

If water is not flowing through your sink properly, you have a problem on your hands. Many homeowners have little experience dissembling a sink or other appliance and it’s components. Low water flow could be caused by a clog or by build up, and you’ll want a plumber to come out to spot the problem and repair or replace the effected components.

A stopped-up garbage disposal is usually caused by something being put into or washed down the drain that does not go through a garbage disposal well. This is a dangerous repair to attempt if you are not an experienced plumber and can cause serious injury.

Strange noises coming from your dishwasher can be a cause for concern, but it may just be poorly filled with dishes or off-level. If you’ve eliminated both of these possibilities, and you still hear chattering or thumping sounds, there may be a valve issue that needs to be handled by plumber. A leaking dishwasher is similar, it may be poorly loaded, be filled with too much detergent, not closing properly, or off-level. If not, it could be a hose issue or a bad pump seal. The plumbers with Gilbert Plumbing are ready to assist with these issues!

Problems with receiving hot water can be a pain, especially right before a shower. If your water has been running for a few minutes and still hasn’t warmed up, you may be dealing with a leak in your water heater, or a water heater malfunction. Both issues may require a new water heater.

If you’re experiencing poor water softening, or noticing hard water, knowing you added salt to your water softener, there may be what is called a salt bridge built up in your softener.
