Plumbing FAQ

All Your Plumbing Questions Answered

Welcome to our FAQ section, where we've compiled a list of frequently asked questions to help you understand our services better. Here, you'll find detailed answers about our plumbing services, processes, and more. Whether you're curious about our commercial plumbing offerings, need information about drain line repairs, or want to learn about our water heater services, we've got you covered. We're committed to providing transparent, helpful information to ensure you make informed decisions about your plumbing needs.

  • What steps should I take if I suspect a leak?

    If you believe there's a leak in your home, it's crucial to act promptly. Start by shutting off the water supply to prevent further damage. Then, try to identify the source of the leak. If it's not easily identifiable or accessible, contact a professional plumber like Colossal Plumbing. We can accurately locate and fix the leak, preventing further damage and potential water waste.

  • What are the advantages of hiring a licensed plumber?

    Hiring a licensed plumber ensures you're entrusting your plumbing needs to a professional who has undergone rigorous training and meets industry standards. A licensed plumber like those at Colossal Plumbing is knowledgeable about building codes, safety protocols, and best practices. They can effectively diagnose and resolve plumbing issues, providing long-lasting solutions and peace of mind.

  • My toilet is leaking at the base after relocation during a remodel. How can this be fixed?

    A leaking toilet base could be due to improper installation or a faulty seal. It's crucial to address this promptly to prevent water damage. At Colossal Plumbing, we can assess the situation, identify the cause of the leak, and implement a suitable solution. This may involve resealing or reinstalling the toilet to ensure a secure and leak-free fit.

  • What should I do if high water pressure is causing my toilet to run?

    High water pressure can cause various plumbing issues, including a running toilet. It's important to have this checked by a professional plumber. At Colossal Plumbing, we can assess your water pressure and adjust it if necessary. We can also inspect your toilet and make any necessary repairs to ensure it functions properly.

  • When is it time to replace my water heater?

    Water heaters typically last 10 years. If your water heater is within this age range or older, it may be time to consider a replacement. Other signs include frequent repairs, inconsistent hot water, rust-colored water, or noise from the unit.


    In addition to providing you with hot water, installing a pressure reducing valve can also extend the life of your fixtures and water heater. By reducing the water pressure in your home, this valve prevents excessive strain on your plumbing system, reducing the risk of leaks, bursts, and premature wear and tear.


    At Colossal Plumbing, we can assess your water heater's condition and advise on whether a repair or replacement is the best course of action.

  • Why isn't my dishwasher draining completely?

    Incomplete drainage from your dishwasher could be due to a blockage in the drain hose, a faulty drain pump, or a clogged filter. At Colossal Plumbing, we can diagnose the issue and provide an effective solution, ensuring your dishwasher drains properly and operates efficiently.

  • Would you recommend copper or plastic water pipes?

    The choice between copper and plastic water pipes depends on various factors, including your budget, local building codes, and personal preference. Both materials have their pros and cons. At Colossal Plumbing, we can provide expert advice and help you choose the best option for your specific needs.

  • How can I determine the appropriate pipe size for my plumbing system?

    The correct pipe size for your plumbing system depends on several factors, including the type of fixture it's serving and the water flow rate. Incorrect pipe sizing can lead to issues like low water pressure or noisy pipes. At Colossal Plumbing, we can assess your system and determine the appropriate pipe sizes to ensure optimal performance.

  • What measures can I take to prevent my pipes from bursting?

    To prevent pipes from bursting, it's important to keep them well-insulated, especially during cold weather. Regular maintenance and inspections can also identify potential issues before they become major problems. At Colossal Plumbing, we can provide preventative maintenance and offer expert advice to keep your pipes in top condition.
