Why Does My Drain Get Clogged?

If you find yourself standing in a foot of water while taking a shower, this could be a question you may be asking. A clogged drain is a common plumbing issue caused by numerous things. Most drains become clogged from things like dirt, skin flakes, soap scum, and hair binds building up over time. This build-up reduces water flow, leaving you with a shower or sink that takes an hour to drain. If you have problems with a clogged drain, call us at Vintage Plumbing, and we can help get your drain back to functioning correctly. 

 

Why Does My Toilet Keep Running?

Toilets are relatively simple and haven’t evolved much since they were created. However, because of this lack of innovation, issues can always arise. A common problem with toilets is when they become stuck constantly running. This is likely caused by the overflow tube, flush tube, or fill valve. Things like the overflow tube being too short, the chain on the flush valve being too short, or a flapper that is warped or coated in grime are all reasons your toilet could be continuously running. At Vintage Plumbing, we can handle the dirty work for you and prevent your toilet from running all day and night. Call us, and we will be more than happy to assist you! 

 

Why Does My Drain Smell?

If your drain smells funky, don’t worry. You are not the only one. A smelly drain is very common and has many causes. Bacteria and gunk buildup are probable causes for the stench that your drain is giving off. When you think about everything that goes down your drain, it is easy to understand how a foul smell could begin to occur. Food, hair, and dirt are all things that go down either your sink drain or shower drain. When these things accumulate, blockages and smells may occur. When your drain smells rather gross, Vintage Plumbing will ensure you are taken care of!
