Leaking Pipes in General

Generally speaking, a leaky pipe can be caused by issues either with water pressure, or with a physical defect in the pipe system itself.

A water pressure issue can be diagnosed by simply toggling the various faucets and spigots in your home or business. In the event that the stream is not as strong as it is normally, or if the flow is completely constricted, you may be suffering from a leak.

A physical defect in the pipe is harder to diagnose, especially if you do not have direct access to your plumbing system. In this case, it is recommended that you contact a licensed plumber as soon as possible in order to mitigate the possibility of damage.

6 Benefits of Water Jetting for Seattle Homeowners

By Bob Oates | June 8, 2026

Hydro jetting, also called high-pressure water jetting, is one of the most effective methods available for cleaning clogged drain and sewer lines.

6 Things That Should Never Be Flushed

By Bob Oates | May 24, 2026

The toilet and the trash can are not the same thing. Your toilet is designed to handle two things: human waste and toilet paper. But every day, household items that seem harmless get flushed anyway — and many of them can contribute to clogs, sewer backups, damaged pipes, and unnecessary repair costs. Trash can do a lot…

Pipe Issues Seattle Homeowners Shouldn’t Ignore

By Bob Oates | May 12, 2026

A hidden pipe problem can turn into a major sewer repair before most homeowners even realize something is wrong.

How Spring Can Lead to Sewer Backups

By Bob Oates | May 5, 2026

Spring in Seattle brings its own set of troubles to the sewer system. In the springtime, sewer backups are most common because of the thawing snow and seasonal rain. The ground is usually too frozen to soak up the water from the rainy season. This results in water leaking into the walls and basements of…

Importance of Sewer Inspections (And Why They Can Save You Thousands)

By Bob Oates | April 29, 2026

Your sewer line is one of the most important — and most overlooked — systems in your home. Because it’s buried underground, problems often go unnoticed until something goes wrong: slow drains, recurring clogs, or even a full sewer backup.
