Emergency Plumbing Help

Some plumbing problems should not be postponed. A burst pipe, rapidly spreading leak, sewer backup, overflowing fixture or failed water heater can damage floors, walls, cabinets, furnishings and building materials. Quick action can help limit the damage while the underlying problem is evaluated.

Contact JeffCo Plumbers when you are dealing with:

• A burst or badly leaking pipe
• Water spreading through a wall, ceiling or floor
• A backed-up sewer line
• Multiple drains backing up simultaneously
• An overflowing toilet that will not stop
• A leaking or failed water heater
• A damaged main water line
• A plumbing problem affecting the safe use of the property

If water is escaping rapidly, shut off the nearest fixture valve or the property’s main water supply when it is safe to do so. Keep people away from water that may have reached electrical equipment or contaminated areas. Read our guide explaining what to do when a pipe bursts, or call (256) 221-3387 for help.

Plumbing Repair

A plumbing problem is not always limited to the place where its symptoms appear. A water stain may originate from a pipe or fixture located elsewhere, while a frequently clogged drain may indicate a deeper restriction in the drainage system. Effective plumbing repair begins by identifying the source and extent of the problem.

JeffCo Plumbers evaluates plumbing problems involving:

• Leaking supply and drainpipes
• Dripping faucets
• Running or leaking toilets
• Loose or damaged fixtures
• Water-pressure problems
• Unusual plumbing noises
• Water stains and unexplained moisture
• Recurring clogs
• Water-heater malfunctions
• Sewer odors and backups

Visit our Plumbing Repair page to learn more about diagnosing and repairing plumbing problems.

Drain Cleaning and Clogged Drain Service

A slow or clogged drain can result from grease, soap residue, hair, food waste, mineral buildup, foreign objects, pipe damage or tree-root intrusion. The location and number of affected fixtures can help indicate whether the problem is confined to one drain or located farther inside the drainage system.

Drain cleaning may be appropriate for:

• Slow kitchen sinks
• Clogged bathroom sinks
• Backed-up bathtubs and showers
• Frequently clogged toilets
• Blocked floor drains
• Recurring drain problems
• Gurgling fixtures
• Multiple slow or backed-up drains
• Main drain restrictions
• Commercial drainage problems

Repeated use of chemical drain products may not resolve a deeper obstruction and can complicate some plumbing problems. If a clog keeps returning, the drainage system may require a more thorough evaluation.

Sewer-Line Repair and Inspection

A sewer-line problem can affect multiple fixtures and create unsanitary conditions inside or outside a property. Warning signs may include recurring backups, gurgling drains, sewer odors, unusually soft areas in the yard or wastewater appearing at a low drain.

Common causes of sewer-line problems include:

• Tree-root intrusion
• Broken or cracked sewer pipes
• Separated pipe connections
• Collapsed sections
• Corrosion and deterioration
• Accumulated waste or debris
• Improper pipe slope
• Ground movement

A sewer camera inspection may help locate a blockage or visible defect inside an accessible sewer line. The findings can help determine whether cleaning, localized repair or more extensive sewer-line repair should be considered.

Water Heater Repair and Installation

Hot-water problems may result from a failed heating element, burner problem, thermostat malfunction, sediment accumulation, leaking tank, damaged valve or another component failure. The age, condition, capacity and energy source of the water heater help determine whether repair or replacement is appropriate.

Contact JeffCo Plumbers if you notice:

• No hot water
• Hot water running out too quickly
• Water leaking around the unit
• Popping, rumbling or banging noises
• Discolored hot water
• Inconsistent water temperature
• Pilot, burner or ignition problems
• Visible corrosion
• A water heater approaching the end of its service life

Our Water Heater Services hub provides information about conventional tank, tankless, gas and electric systems.

Water-Leak Detection

Not every water leak is immediately visible. A concealed leak may continue behind a wall, above a ceiling, beneath a fixture or along a buried water line before obvious damage develops.

Possible signs of a hidden water leak include:

• An unexplained increase in water use
• Water stains on walls or ceilings
• Peeling paint or damaged drywall
• Musty odors or persistent dampness
• The sound of running water when fixtures are off
• Warm, damp or discolored areas on a floor
• Reduced water pressure
• Movement at the water meter when no water is being used
• Wet areas in the yard

Finding the source before opening walls or flooring can help focus the repair. Visit our Water-Leak Detection page for additional information.

Pipe Repair for Older and Newer Properties

Jefferson County contains historic houses, mid-century neighborhoods, renovated buildings, newer subdivisions and commercial developments. The age and construction of a property can affect its plumbing materials, layout and repair requirements.

Pipe problems may involve:

• Corroded metal pipes
• Leaking copper connections
• Damaged plastic piping
• Frozen or burst pipes
• Loose fittings
• Cracked drainpipes
• Damaged fixture supply lines
• Deteriorated shutoff valves
• Sections affected by remodeling or previous repairs

Depending on the extent of the problem, the appropriate solution may involve repairing a fitting, replacing a damaged section or evaluating whether a larger portion of the piping system requires attention.
