Plumbing repair is fixing what leaks or breaks in the water lines and fixtures of a home or business. As a plumber in Salinas, ASC Plumbing repairs leaking and burst pipes, running toilets, dripping faucets and jammed garbage disposals. We also find hidden leaks, slab leaks included, and sort out low water pressure.
Clogs and slow drains are their own job, covered under drain cleaning. For every repair, we look at the job and put the quote in writing. We do this work across Salinas and the Monterey Bay Area. Call or text (831) 262-9943 to set up a visit.
Tell us about the leak, clog, water heater or repipe and where the property is. We look at the job and put the quote in writing.
Some leaks are easy to spot, like a drip under the kitchen sink. Others hide inside a wall or under the floor. Water leak detection starts with the water meter. The EPA suggests reading it before and after two hours with no water in use.
If the reading changes, there is probably a leak somewhere. Closing shutoff valves one at a time narrows down where. A hidden leak can also show up as a stain on the ceiling or a water bill that jumps. Pipe leak repair usually means cutting out the damaged section and joining in new pipe.
A slab leak is a leak in a water line under a concrete floor. A warm spot on the floor can point to a leaking hot water line. For slab leak repair, we either open the floor at the leak or reroute the line. A reroute runs new pipe through the walls or attic and leaves the old line in place.
A running toilet usually comes down to a worn flapper or a fill valve that will not shut off. The EPA notes a worn flapper can leak thousands of gallons a year without a sound. To test yours, put a few drops of food coloring in the tank. If color shows up in the bowl after 10 minutes, the toilet is leaking.
Toilet repair also covers a weak flush and water around the base. Water at the base often points to a failed wax ring. The fix is to lift the toilet and set it back on a new seal.
A dripping faucet usually needs a new cartridge or washer inside. At one drip per second, a faucet wastes more than 3,000 gallons a year, by the EPA's count. Shower and tub valves wear out the same way. A shower that drips after you shut it off often needs a new valve cartridge.
Census Bureau figures show more than half of the homes in Salinas were built before 1980. In an older house, a shutoff valve that has not been turned in a long time can stick. It may also start to drip once it moves. We replace stuck shutoff valves and dripping hose bibs.
Low water pressure often starts with a clogged faucet aerator or a valve left partly closed. A failing pressure regulator can cause it too. In older homes, galvanized steel pipe can clog with rust from the inside. Replacing that pipe falls under repiping.
Pressure can also run too high. The California Plumbing Code calls for a pressure regulator when water pressure at rest is over 80 psi. Too much pressure is hard on faucets and toilet valves. A gauge on a hose bib shows where your pressure sits.
