Plumbing FAQs

What causes low water pressure throughout a home?
Low water pressure can be caused by several issues including pipe corrosion, hidden leaks, clogged fixtures, pressure regulator problems, aging plumbing systems, or municipal water supply issues. In older homes, galvanized pipes may gradually restrict water flow over time and reduce overall water pressure throughout the property. Burkell Plumbing & Heating frequently works with homeowners in older Marin County homes experiencing these types of plumbing issues.
What plumbing problems are most common in commercial buildings?
Commercial buildings commonly experience issues involving clogged drains, sewer backups, leaking pipes, restroom plumbing problems, water heater failures, and high-demand plumbing system wear. Larger commercial properties often place heavier strain on plumbing systems due to increased daily usage and occupancy levels. Burkell Plumbing & Heating provides commercial plumbing services designed to help businesses reduce disruptions and maintain reliable system performance.
What plumbing problems are most common in older homes?
Older homes frequently experience plumbing problems related to aging pipes, corrosion, low water pressure, sewer line deterioration, outdated fixtures, and hidden leaks. Galvanized piping, root intrusion, and decades of wear can all contribute to ongoing plumbing concerns in older residential properties. Burkell Plumbing & Heating has extensive experience working with aging plumbing systems throughout Marin County.
When should I call a plumber?
It’s best to call a plumber if you notice low water pressure, slow drains, persistent leaks, unusual noises from your pipes, or water where it shouldn’t be. Even small issues can lead to major damage if left unaddressed.
How do I know if I have a water leak?

Common signs of a leak include higher-than-usual water bills, damp spots on walls or ceilings, musty odors, and the sound of running water when everything is turned off. A licensed plumber can use specialized tools to locate hidden leaks.

What’s the lifespan of common plumbing components?
Pipes, fixtures, and water heaters all have different lifespans. For example, traditional water heaters last about 8–12 years, while copper piping can last 50 years or more. Routine maintenance can help extend the life of your system.
