When your plumbing starts acting up, it can feel like your whole house is out of sync. At Raptor Rooter & Plumbing, we know how quickly small issues can turn into big headaches if left unchecked. That’s why we’re breaking down some of the most common plumbing problems Spokane homeowners face—and what you can do to fix them (or when to call in the pros).
1. Leaky Faucets
That constant drip-drip-drip isn’t just annoying—it’s wasting water and running up your bill. In most cases, a worn-out washer or cartridge is to blame. If you’re handy, you can shut off the water, disassemble the faucet, and replace the part. But if the leak persists or the faucet is corroded, it might be time to call Raptor Rooter & Plumbing for a professional fix.
2. Clogged Drains
Whether it’s a slow kitchen sink or a backed-up shower, clogged drains are a common—and frustrating—issue. Avoid chemical drain cleaners (they can damage your pipes) and try using a plunger or a drain snake first. If that doesn’t work, our team has the tools to clear even the most stubborn blockages without damaging your plumbing.
3. Running Toilets
A running toilet can waste hundreds of gallons of water a day. The most likely culprit? A worn-out flapper or a faulty fill valve. These are inexpensive parts you can find at your local hardware store, and many homeowners can handle the swap themselves. But if you’re unsure, our plumbers are just a call away to get things flushing right again.
4. Low Water Pressure
If your shower has gone from a relaxing stream to a weak trickle, you could be dealing with a few things: a clogged aerator, a hidden leak, or even sediment buildup in your pipes. Try cleaning your faucet or showerhead first. If that doesn’t help, it’s time for a professional inspection to find the root cause.
5. Water Heater Issues
No hot water? That’s a major red flag. Common causes include a blown pilot light, a faulty thermostat, or sediment buildup in the tank. Depending on the age and condition of your water heater, a repair might do the trick—or it might be time for a replacement. Either way, our experts at Raptor Rooter & Plumbing can guide you through your options.
