4 Common Plumbing Fixtures Needing Attention
There are some common issues in residential plumbing that are bound to face every homeowner sooner or later. Knowing which plumbing fixtures are most likely to have issues over time can help you do a little preventative maintenance when possible or at least reduce your chance for being surprised if problems do arise. These four common plumbing fixtures are ones we are likely to service, so knowing more about them will help to prevent plumbing issues and keep your home’s pipes flowing smoothly.
No homeowner wants to find out that their plumbing system is not functioning as expected. Fortunately, with a little knowledge and some preventative care, we can help make sure you’re up-to-date on the most common plumbing fixture repair. In the following, we’ll be covering the top four items that are most likely to cause issues and how best to go about fixing them so your home’s plumbing stays trouble-free!
Water Heaters
The water heater is one of the most important components in a home’s plumbing system and is often the source of many potable and hot water issues. Typical repairs that may be required include replacing failed heating elements, flushing out sediment buildup, or troubleshooting electrical wiring problems.
Toilets
Toilet issues are among the most common plumbing complaints that homeowners face. A regular inspection can help identify any potential problems before they become an issue, as well as preventative maintenance such as replacing faulty flush valves or adjusting fill levels to ensure proper functionality. Additionally, make sure to regularly check for signs of leaks or damaged parts which could cause major headaches down the road if left unchecked.
Faucets
Dripping and leaking faucets are an all-too-common problem for homeowners. Regularly inspecting the pipes, seals, and shutoff valves can help prevent any major problems from occurring. If a leak does occur, it is best to address it sooner rather than later as even small amounts of water leakage can add up over time leading to costly damage.
Sump Pumps
Sump pumps help keep basements dry by collecting excess water and pumping it away from your home. It’s important to check the pump periodically to make sure it is functioning properly, replacing the switch or impeller if necessary. Additionally, occasionally clearing out debris that has accumulated in the basin can ensure maximum efficiency and longevity of operation.
Prevent More Serious Problems
When you call in a trusted plumbing professional to evaluate your home’s plumbing system, they can quickly identify any issues with common fixtures and make the necessary repairs. With regular maintenance and advanced services like video pipeline inspection, you can go a long way in preventing more serious plumbing problems from happening down the line.

Maggie in the office, and Garrett really went over the top to fix my problem and to give great customer service. I had called after hours, and then Maggie called me back without me lifting a finger which was fantastic. And she was also able to gather information like pictures and things to relay to her team. And kept me up-to-date with scheduling and such. Very pleasant, very skilled.

Tom Kris and Sons repaired the old copper pipes of our home as they were actively leaking. They were timely, efficient, communicative, and fixed the issue. The team that came was professional, explained what needed to be done, and kept the house clean and tidy while they worked. We will use them again and recommend them to our neighbors.

Tom Kris & Sons Plumbing's level of customer service was amazing. I had several individual issues that all hit at once from a toilet that wouldn't stop running, a faulty pressure reducing valve, a broken thermal expansion tank on my hot water heater, and a broken garbage disposal. one of the sons of Tom Kris & Sons, was determined to make sure every avenue was researched to the fullest and make sure everything was handled properly and efficiently. He was just so kind and committed. I highly recommend them.

Tom Kris and Sons Plumbing showed up the morning they said they would with a reminder text that they were on the way. Garrett showed up with shoe covers ready to take care of my issues. He cleaned up so well after himself that I couldn't see any signs of the repairs made. Punctual, efficient, and clean work. Top notch plumbing service, will call again if in need of a plumber!

All of the plumbers were very knowledgeable and professional when cutting out the drywall etc. They also were able to answer all of questions and concerns promptly. I am so happy that I ran a new water line to the house as the water pressure has improved immensely. I would highly recommend this company for anyone considering repiping their home. 5 star service.
