The Top 5 Plumbing Repairs Moe Plumbing Sees Most Often
While there are numerous different plumbing repairs that the Moe plumbers attend to on a daily basis, there tend to be a few that are consistently at the top of the list. Below, we outline those top 5 plumbing problems, what they consist of, and some helpful hints to avoid some of them in the future.
- Toilet Repair
- Drain Stoppage
- Lack of Hot Water or No Hot Water
- Pipe Leak
- High Water Bill
Toilet Repair - One of the most common types of plumbing repairs Moe attends to is toilet repair. Either the toilet is stopped up, not flushing properly, leaking, or running constantly. Moe handles all of these issues and all others in relation to a improperly functioning toilet.
One thing you can do to check to see if their toilet is functioning properly is a dye test. Place a couple of drops of food coloring into the toilet's tank, not the bowl, and wait several hours. If the dye starts appearing in the bowl, then there is a leak and you should have the toilet checked, preferably by Moe plumbing. Another thing you can check are the black rings located inside the top of the toilet tank. Reach down into the tank, not the bowl, and gently feel the black rings that the bolts go through. If the material of the rings starts to disintegrate or fall off into the tank, then you know that they are old and need to be changed. Call Moe plumbing at 877.2GET.MOE (877.243.8663) to have them come out and check your toilet. Allowing this issue to continue will lead to a leak in the toilet.
Drain Stoppage/Clogged Drain - Another typical plumbing repair that Moe plumbing handles daily is a clogged drain. There can be many reasons for a clogged drain, and the problem may be located within pipes inside the home or at the exterior in a main or branch line leading to the sewer. Moe plumbing handles all plumbing repairs involving clogged drains. Whether the problem exists inside your residence or outside in the lines going to the sewer, all aspects are covered.
There are several reasons a drain becomes clogged. The main sewer line may be backed up, tree roots may be growing through, around, and inside pipes, causing pipe breaks and intrusions. Mechanical separation may be taking place on part of your line where either the seal breaks, or dirt under a pipe washes out and the pipe sags, compromising the integrity of the pipe. Corrosion of older pipes will cause a clog in the line. Low water pressure flowing through the line can also contribute to a clog developing. Hair, food debris, improperly functioning garbage disposal, misuse of drains, chemicals put down the drain, lack of proper grate the drain sits in, and age of the lines and the materials at the joints of the pipes can all deteriorate.
A helpful and detailed guide for proper garbage disposal maintenance can be found at theGarbage Disposal Maintenance page. This document will show you the proper way to take care of your disposal and will promote clean drains, minimizing drain stoppages.
Lack of Hot Water or no Hot Water - Hot water heaters on average will last 7 - 10 years in a home. Moe plumbing also handles servicing and replacing hot water heaters. Plumbing repairs relating to a hot water heater require skilled and knowledgeable technicians. This is necessary because a hot water heater is tied into the gas line of the home. If not serviced properly, a fire or explosion could result. Moe plumbing certified journeymen union workers are properly trained to handle work on hot water heaters. From service, to repair, to replacement, you can feel confident that Moe does these types of plumbing repairs daily. New tankless hot water heaters are also available through Moe plumbing. Tankless hot water heaters are much more environmentally conscious, and use far less energy and natural gas then traditional hot water heaters. Home owners can see a typical savings of up to 50 - 60 percent on their gas bill after a tankless water heater is installed. The good news, tankless water heaters last up to 20 years, and they consist of components that can be replaced individually. Traditional hot water heaters need to have the entire unit replaced when one fails to operate.
Pipe Leak - A very typical type of plumbing repair is a leaking pipe or pipes. Leaking pipes can potentially cause all types of problems in a residence. Water damage, mold, destruction of property and valuables, etc. can all be results of a leaking pipe. Moe plumbing services all types of plumbing repairs involving leaking pipes. Whether the leak exists inside the home or outside in the main line, the problem will be addressed and solved when you contact Moe plumbing.

Moe plumbing is ready to handle leaking pipe issues you are facing. The plumbers at Moe will get it fixed the first time, so you can focus your attention on more important things.
High Water Bill - A high water bill indicates that there is most likely a pipe leak, running toilet, or other plumbing repair issue on the property. Another reason might be that the residence or business is using an unusually high amount of water on a frequent basis. Either way, Moe plumbing handles this type of plumbing repair like all the rest. They find the source of the high water bill and correct the issue causing it. While they are proficient at solving the problems related to a leaking pipe, running toilet, or other plumbing related loss of water, they can't do anything about 30 minute showers or other excessive water uses by the residents.
