Frequently Asked Questions
At 1 Time Plumbing, we know homeowners often have concerns about plumbing issues, repairs, and what to expect during service. To help you feel confident and informed, we’ve compiled answers to some of the most common questions we receive. Our goal is to make your experience simple, stress-free, and backed by knowledge you can trust.
How do I know if I need a plumber or if I can fix the problem myself?
Minor issues like replacing a faucet aerator or resetting a garbage disposal can often be handled at home. However, problems such as persistent clogs, leaks, sewer odors, water heater issues, low water pressure, or visible water damage should always be assessed by a licensed plumber. Professional repairs ensure your home’s plumbing stays safe, long-lasting, and up to code.
What are the signs of a hidden leak in my home?
Hidden leaks often show subtle warning signs such as the sound of running water when no fixtures are in use, higher water bills, damp or warm floors, discolored walls or ceilings, mold growth, or a musty smell. If you suspect a leak, our team can perform a thorough inspection and provide reliable repair solutions.
Why do my drains clog so often?
Recurring clogs typically mean there is a deeper issue within your plumbing system. Grease buildup, foreign objects, soap scum, mineral deposits, or pipe damage can restrict flow. Sometimes the cause is farther down the line, which may require a drain cleaning or a sewer camera inspection to locate the root of the problem.
When should I replace my water heater?
Most water heaters last 8–12 years depending on maintenance and water quality. Signs that you may need a replacement include inconsistent temperatures, strange noises, reduced hot water supply, visible corrosion, or leaks around the tank. Our team can inspect your unit and advise you on the best next step.
How often should I schedule plumbing maintenance?
Annual plumbing maintenance is recommended to keep your home’s system running efficiently. Regular inspections help identify small issues—like worn parts, blockages, or minor leaks—before they turn into major repairs. Maintenance also helps extend the lifespan of your fixtures and appliances.
What is a sewer camera inspection and do I need one?
A sewer camera inspection uses a small, high-resolution camera inserted into your sewer line to detect issues such as blockages, broken pipes, misalignments, or root intrusion. Homeowners usually need this service when they experience repeated drain problems, odors, or sewer backups, or when they want a clear, accurate diagnosis without digging.
