Plumbing Q: Why does my toilet run even when it hasn’t been flushed? A: The source of the problem is likely a warped Douglas valve seal, which is letting water leak from your tank. When it leaks, the fill valve acts as though the toilet has been flushed and works to restore the water to its proper level. Another likely cause is a bad flapper that has deteriorated to the point that it’s allowing water to seep by. Q: Sometimes my water heater makes a rumbling noise. What could this be? A: The most probable cause is calcium buildup. When the hottest water from the bottom of the tank rises to meet the coldest in-tank water, this “collision” makes that familiar rumbling noise. Though this is not dangerous, it can lead to premature failure of your water heater. It can also decrease your system’s efficiency and hot water availability. Q: What’s going on when the water pouring from my faucet suddenly turns brown or rust-colored? A: What you’re actually seeing is the result of old galvanized pipes that need to be replaced. Over time, the flow of water becomes restricted through galvanized pipes. As water flows through the blockages and then later hits the air, the water oxidizes and, in turn, adopts that all-too-familiar rusty color. What’s the solution? New PVC, ABS or copper pipes. |
