Signs You Need Plumbing in Bear Creek

• Water on the floor of a below-grade room after rainWater on the floor of a below-grade room after rain usually means groundwater is getting in faster than the sump pump can move it out, or the discharge is running back toward the house. Check the pump and the discharge route before the next storm.
• A sump pump that runs constantly or never runsA sump pump that runs constantly may be fighting a high water table or a discharge that loops back, while a pump that never runs may have a stuck float or no power. Either way, the pump is not doing the job it was installed for.
• A downhill fixture backing up in a stormA downhill fixture that backs up in a storm, and drains fine in dry weather, usually points to the main surcharging rather than a blockage in the fixture. Backwater protection on the lowest fixtures is the question to ask.
• Several units draining slowly at onceWhen several units in a townhome or condo complex drain slowly at once, the shared line is the problem, not any one unit. A camera inspection of the shared run will show where the buildup or the blockage is.
• Hot water running out faster than it used toHot water that runs out faster than it used to usually means sediment has built up inside an aging tank. Denver Water hardness averages about 105 mg/L, around 6.1 grains per gallon, and that scale accumulates over the life of the heater.
