Question 1

Why does my bathroom sink and tub drain get clogged so often?

Accepted Answer

Unlike kitchen clogs which are caused by grease, bathroom clogs are almost always a result of hair, soap scum, and toothpaste building up in the drain and P-trap. Over time, this creates a sticky, stubborn blockage. We recommend avoiding liquid chemical cleaners, as they are often ineffective on this type of clog and can harm your pipes. A professional drain snaking is the best way to thoroughly clear the line.

Question 2

The water pressure in my shower is terrible. What's the cause?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, low shower pressure is caused by a clogged showerhead. Here in Burnet County, our hard water is rich in minerals like calcium and magnesium, which build up over time and block the small holes in your showerhead. You can sometimes fix this by soaking the showerhead in vinegar, but if the buildup is severe or the problem persists, the issue might be a failing shower cartridge, which we can easily replace.

Question 3

My bathroom faucet is constantly dripping. Should I be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Yes, even a small drip should be fixed promptly. A single leaky faucet can waste hundreds of gallons of water a month, which is a big deal for both your utility bill and our local water conservation efforts. The drip is typically caused by a worn-out rubber washer, O-ring, or a faulty ceramic cartridge inside the faucet handle — all of which are quick and inexpensive fixes for a professional plumber.

Question 4

Why am I not getting enough hot water in my shower?

Accepted Answer

If the issue is only happening in one shower, the problem is likely the shower valve's mixing cartridge, which balances the hot and cold water. These can wear out or get clogged with hard water minerals, preventing enough hot water from getting through. If you're having hot water issues throughout the house, then the problem lies with your water heater. We can diagnose the exact cause and get your hot showers back to normal.

Question 5

Can you help me install a new sink, faucet, or shower system?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We professionally install all types of bathroom fixtures, including new vanity sinks, modern faucets, and complete shower and tub upgrades with features like rain showerheads and handheld sprayers. Using a licensed plumber is crucial for bathroom renovations to ensure all connections are perfectly sealed, preventing slow leaks behind walls that can cause mold and wood rot.
