Waking up in Utah and finding you have no water will turn your day upside down, fast. If this happens, the first thing you should do is talk to your neighbor and see if they are having issues with running water or any plumbing problems.

If it’s only your home, you’ll want a plumber to immediately solve the problem. Having no water can be a major warning sign that something has gone terribly wrong.

Major leaks, backups, frozen pipes, and problems with the water main and more will cause you to lose water. You should call a licensed and experienced plumber because they will know whether the water was turned off or if there’s a leak preventing the water from entering your home.

*Be aware of special cases.

Examples

• If you have cold water but no hot water it could be a water-heater issue.
• If the water works on one floor and not another, you may have a pressure problem that can be an easy fix!

Clogged drains in Utah happen all the time for a variety of reasons. Sometimes the easiest fix is just a plunger and a bit of muscle.

If you can’t unclog your drain after using a plunger and the problem is repeated, we recommend calling All Utah Plumbing, Heating & Air to fix the issue!

Our plumbers use advanced cameras that look deeper into your clogged pipes to find what may be the cause of the problem.

Common clogged drain problems include: Grease build-up, hair, roots growing into the underground system, and more.

Overflowing toilets are a part of life, especially when children are in the house. Sometimes these issues are easy to fix and other times the root cause is hidden.

An easy way to stop a toilet from overflowing, a toilet that’s always “running”, or a toilet making a high-pitched sound can often be fixed by replacing the flapper. This may save you money!

If your toilet is overflowing, turn off your water. While the water is off don’t use other facilities until a plumber is able to check out the toilet for you. The water shut-off valve for most toilets is beneath the bowl at the back or on the left-hand side.

If your toilet starts to flood immediately after a flush, you most likely have a blockage. Toilet clogs can be solved with a plunger more often than not because they are designed to dislodge whatever is stuck.

If a few plunges don’t work, stop and call a plumber — keeping at it can do some damage to your toilet and potentially to your piping.

It’s normal not to have any hot water after the kids take an hour-long shower, but it’s not okay if it takes a few hours for water to warm up no matter what, especially in Utah.

However, if you’re experiencing repeat problems with your water heater and never seem to have enough hot water, then it’s time to call a plumber near you.

The team at All Utah Plumbing, Heating & Air is your plumbing partner and can help you quickly troubleshoot the issue. It could be a serious concern or a small issue that’s easy to fix.

For example: Pilot lights go out all the time, but you may have a drip or other flaw if it goes out continuously.

Every now and then we come across hot water heaters that will not last if your tank isn’t big enough. A professional plumber at All Utah Plumbing, Heating & Air can help you determine what tank size you’ll need and install it when you’ve made your choice. They can also walk you through checking the breaker and many other small issues that can cause concern.

Fact: If your shower is dripping 10 times a minute, you’re paying for an additional 500 gallons of water each year.

It may be simple to fix your leaking faucet. Sometimes a little tightening will do the trick, plumber’s tape, or a new bracket can be an inexpensive fix for your dripping faucet.
