Des Peres Kitchen Plumbing Repairs
Clogged drains in your kitchen are one of the most common problems you’ll face as a homeowner. You may think tossing food scraps down your kitchen sink and using the garbage disposal is harmless. However, food waste, like fibrous vegetables, coffee grounds, or grease, can accumulate in your pipes and cause blockages. Over time, these materials stick to the walls of your pipes, leading to slow drainage and frequent clogs.
In the past, you may have turned to chemical drain cleaners to fix the issue, but these products can corrode your pipes, creating bigger problems in the long run. Additionally, chemical cleaners don’t address underlying issues in your plumbing system, such as poorly designed pipes or buildup deeper within the system. Instead of chemical cleaners, our plumbers use advanced tools like hydro-jetting and drain cameras to diagnose and resolve kitchen plumbing clogs safely and effectively.
Another common household issue is a running toilet. The usual culprits are a worn-out flapper or a broken fill valve, often simple fixes you can handle independently. However, if you’re noticing more serious problems, such as water leaking around the toilet base or recurring clogs, it’s time to call one of our experienced plumbers.
Leaks around the base could indicate a problem with the wax ring seal or even cracks in the toilet itself. Our plumber will thoroughly inspect the issue, replacing the wax ring or resealing connections as needed. In severe damage, our plumber may need to replace the entire toilet to prevent water damage to your floor and drywall.
Several other kitchen or bathroom plumbing issues require the attention of one of our plumbers:
- Leaky pipes
- Reduced water pressure
- Discolored or foul-tasting water
- Slow drains
It’s important to schedule service promptly for your Des Peres kitchen or bathroom plumbing issues. Even minor problems, like leaky faucets, can worsen over time. They can drive up your water bill, cause water damage, and cause mold growth.
