Common Plumbing Problems Homeowners Face

Plumbing issues can disrupt daily routines and lead to costly water damage if not addressed quickly. In Cedar Rapids homes, aging infrastructure, seasonal temperature changes, and hard water are common factors that contribute to recurring plumbing problems.

Here are some of the most frequent plumbing concerns we see at Dalton Plumbing, Heating, Cooling, Electric and Fireplaces, Inc.:

• Leaking Pipes: Often caused by corrosion, frozen pipe cracks, or faulty joints. Even small leaks can cause structural damage and lead to mold growth.
• Clogged Drains: We specialize in clearing minor drain issues, including sinks, toilets, tubs, and showers. Hair, grease, and soap buildup are common culprits—but please note we do not service main drain lines or sewer mains.
• Running Toilets: A continuously running toilet wastes hundreds of gallons of water per day and often points to a worn-out flapper or malfunctioning valve.
• Water Heater Issues: Lack of hot water, fluctuating temperatures, or rumbling noises could indicate sediment buildup or component failure.
• Low Water Pressure: Can stem from mineral buildup in pipes, hidden leaks, or municipal supply issues.
• Sewer Line Problems: Backups or foul odors from drains may signal tree root intrusion, collapsed pipes, or obstructions in the main line.

These problems can go from minor nuisances to major emergencies quickly. That’s why prompt diagnosis and repair are critical. Our team uses advanced tools—like camera inspections and electronic leak detectors—to pinpoint the root cause and fix it fast.

Don’t let small issues become major problems—contact Dalton Plumbing, Heating, Cooling, Electric and Fireplaces, Inc. at the first sign of trouble.

Overview of Major Plumbing Systems & Solutions

Plumbing systems are complex networks of supply lines, fixtures, and waste removal components that all need to work in harmony. At Dalton Plumbing, Heating, Cooling, Electric and Fireplaces, Inc., we help Cedar Rapids homeowners maintain, repair, and modernize every aspect of their plumbing infrastructure.

Water Supply System

• Main Water Line: Connects your home to the municipal water supply. Damage to this line can reduce pressure and cause foundation leaks.
• Supply Pipes: Carry clean water to fixtures. Typically made of copper, PEX, or CPVC. Aging pipes may corrode or become brittle over time.
• Shut-Off Valves: Allow for localized control during maintenance or emergencies. We recommend every home have accessible and functional valves.

We provide water line replacements, repiping services, and leak detection to ensure your supply system stays reliable.

Drainage & Sewer System

• Drain Pipes: Remove wastewater from fixtures. Improper slope, buildup, or damage can cause slow draining or clogs.
• Sewer Line: Transports waste to the city system. Susceptible to root intrusion, settling, or collapse.
• Vent Pipes: Regulate air pressure in the drainage system and help waste flow efficiently.

We use hydro-jetting, camera inspections, and trenchless repair methods to diagnose and restore these systems with minimal disruption.

Fixture Plumbing

• Toilets, Faucets & Showers: Common sources of leaks or inefficiencies. We repair and replace outdated fixtures with modern, water-saving models.
• Garbage Disposals & Dishwashers: Our team installs, maintains, and services kitchen appliances connected to your plumbing.
• Bathtubs & Sinks: Whether you’re upgrading or repairing, we ensure smooth operation and proper drainage.

Fixture upgrades improve comfort, conserve water, and refresh the look of your home.

Hot Water Systems

• Tank Water Heaters: Standard models store 40–80 gallons of hot water. Sediment buildup is a common maintenance issue.
• Tankless Water Heaters: Heat water on demand and offer energy efficiency benefits, but require proper sizing and flow rate assessment.
• Recirculation Pumps: Provide instant hot water at fixtures, saving time and reducing water waste.

We install, repair, and maintain all types of water heaters to ensure consistent hot water and energy savings.

Water Treatment & Filtration

• Water Softeners: Combat Cedar Rapids’ hard water, which can cause scale buildup and shorten appliance lifespan.
• Whole-Home Filtration: Removes chlorine, sediment, and other contaminants for cleaner, safer water.
• Reverse Osmosis Systems: Provide high-purity drinking water at the tap.

We evaluate your water quality and recommend the right solution for your family’s needs.

Comprehensive Plumbing Service Details

Toilet Repair & Replacement

A malfunctioning toilet is one of the most urgent and disruptive plumbing issues. Whether it’s a leak, clog, or persistent running, prompt repair is key to avoiding water waste and property damage.

When to Consider

If your toilet is frequently clogging, running non-stop, leaking at the base, or outdated in style or efficiency, it’s time for service or replacement. Toilets over 15 years old may be less efficient than modern low-flow models.

Why Important

A running or leaking toilet can waste thousands of gallons of water per year and lead to mold or floor damage. Upgrading also improves water efficiency and bathroom aesthetics.

What’s Included

• Thorough inspection of tank internals including flapper condition, fill valve operation, float adjustment, and flush valve integrity
• Removal of the toilet for resealing or realignment with a new wax ring or flange repair if base leaking is present
• Expert installation of customer-provided or Dalton Plumbing, Heating, Cooling, Electric and Fireplaces, Inc.-recommended high-efficiency toilets, with options for dual-flush or low-flow designs
• Flush testing to ensure proper function and verification of gallons-per-flush performance

Faucet & Fixture Services

Dripping faucets and outdated fixtures aren’t just annoying—they can waste water and reduce your home’s value. Our faucet and fixture services enhance functionality and aesthetics.

When to Consider

If you’re dealing with leaks, low water pressure, or cosmetic issues—or planning a kitchen or bathroom refresh—our team can help.

Why Important

Leaks can waste hundreds of gallons of water monthly. Upgrading fixtures improves water efficiency, prevents corrosion, and supports modern design goals.

What’s Included

Minor Drain Cleaning Services

Slow-draining sinks, tubs, and showers are more than a nuisance—they signal buildup that can worsen over time.

When to Consider

If your bathroom or kitchen drains are gurgling, backing up, or emitting odors, it’s time to take action. We specialize in minor drain issues, not main line clogs.

Why Important

Early intervention can prevent full blockages and damage to pipes. Proper cleaning also improves hygiene and water flow.

What’s Included

• Manual or auger-based clearing of localized clogs in residential fixtures including bathroom sinks, showers, tubs, and toilets
• Full disassembly of drain traps to remove hair, grease, or debris buildup, followed by proper reinstallation
• Application of eco-friendly enzyme drain treatments to help maintain clear flow and dissolve organic matter
• Use of mini-video scope equipment to inspect inside small drain lines when accessible, identifying early signs of buildup or obstruction
• Odor neutralization treatments using drain-safe cleaners for persistent smells caused by stagnant water or bacteria

Keep things flowing—book your minor drain cleaning with Dalton Plumbing, Heating, Cooling, Electric and Fireplaces, Inc..

Water Heater Service (Tank & Tankless)

Hot water is essential for comfort and hygiene. We service and install both traditional and tankless water heaters.

When to Consider

Signs include discolored water, temperature fluctuation, water pooling, or units over 10 years old. Tankless systems may display error codes or inconsistent heating.

Why Important

Water heater issues can lead to high energy bills, water damage, or loss of hot water. Preventive service extends lifespan and improves efficiency.

What’s Included

• Inspection of the entire water heater system including thermostat calibration, temperature/pressure relief valve testing, and burner or heating element function
• Full tank drainage and sediment removal service to eliminate scale buildup that reduces efficiency and capacity (tank models)
• Tankless unit descaling using specialized pumps and vinegar or commercial cleaners to restore flow rate and heat transfer
• Identification and replacement of worn parts such as thermocouples, pilot lights, heating elements, and anode rods
• Final performance test including hot water recovery time, system cycling, and safety shutdown function

Stay warm—schedule your water heater service or replacement today.

Leak Detection & Pipe Repair

Unseen leaks can cause major damage behind walls, under floors, or beneath foundations. Our leak detection services find and fix problems fast.

When to Consider

If you’ve noticed unexplained water bills, musty smells, or visible moisture damage, it’s time to investigate.

Why Important

Water leaks waste money, threaten structural integrity, and encourage mold growth. Early detection prevents serious damage.

What’s Included

• Static and dynamic pressure tests to detect abnormal water loss and verify leak presence
• Acoustic listening devices and thermal imaging cameras to identify exact leak location through walls, floors, or concrete slabs
• Targeted repair of damaged pipe sections, including cutting, repiping, and leak-proof fittings for copper, PEX, or PVC lines
