What Are Common Plumbing Issues In Your Bathroom?

Understanding Common Plumbing Issues in Your Bathroom

At S.W.A.T. Plumbing LLC, we believe that knowledge is power. The better you understand the inner workings of your home—especially your bathroom plumbing—the better equipped you are to handle minor issues on your own, or to know when it’s time to call in the professionals. Bathroom plumbing is a complex network of pipes, connections, outlets, and fixtures, the wear and tear of which can, over time, lead to various issues. Let’s examine some of the most common bathroom plumbing problems you might face in your home.

Clogged Drains

Clogged drains are without a doubt one of the most frequently occurring problems in any bathroom. Partial or complete blockages in the pipeline can occur due to several reasons; an accumulation of soap residue, hair, or even foreign objects can restrict the free flow of water. A partially blocked drain causes slow draining water, while a complete blockage can cause water to back up, presenting a flood risk. In cases of minor blockages, over-the-counter chemicals or a plunger might do the trick. However, if the clog refuses to shift, it is time to call S.W.A.T. Plumbing LLC for a professional intervention.

Leaky Faucets and Pipes

Dripping faucets aren’t just annoying—they can also be incredibly wasteful. One dripping faucet can waste hundreds, even thousands of gallons of water if left untreated over time. Furthermore, untreated pipe leaks can lead to bigger problems like water damage to walls, flooring, and other fixtures. These issues are often due to worn-out components or broken seals within the faucet mechanism and may require professional attention depending on the severity of the leak.

Running Toilets

Toilets use a lot of water, and a constantly running toilet can send your water bill skyrocketing. Various issues can cause a toilet to run, including issues with the flapper, the float, or the fill valve assembly. In some cases, you might be able to address these issues by examining the toilet tank yourself and making adjustments. However, if the issue persists, it might be time to contact the experts at S.W.A.T. Plumbing LLC.

Low Water Pressure

Low water pressure can turn a satisfying shower into a frustrating exercise in futility. This issue can be attributed to several causes, such as a malfunctioning showerhead, mineral buildup in pipes, or even a problem with the local water supply. Isolated pressure reductions likely stem from internal issues, while a property-wide drop likely indicates a larger issue requiring professional help.

Poor or Inconsistent Water Temperature

Few things are worse than a cold blast from the shower when you’re expecting warm water. This issue could point to problems with your water heater – perhaps it is too small for your home’s needs, failing due to age, or has sediment buildup affecting its function. Alternatively, inconsistent water temperature could be due to a defect in the pressure balance valve in the shower faucet. Both situations are complex and should ideally be inspected by professional plumbers from S.W.A.T. Plumbing LLC.

Noisy Pipes

Noisy pipes make their presence known with clanging, banging, or rattling sounds, usually when a tap or appliance is in use. This problem can be due to “water hammer”—the shock wave created by a sudden stop in the water flow—or loose pipes shaking within your walls. In both cases, professional intervention is recommended to prevent further damage.

At S.W.A.T. Plumbing LLC, we are here to help with all of your bathroom plumbing needs. Whether you are dealing with something as simple as a clogged drain, or as complex as a noisy pipe issue, we have the knowledge, experience, and tools to get the job done right.

What others say


Carlos was wonderful to deal with. He quickly diagnosed my issue with my water heater. Also he was able to repair a leaky faucet immediately. Highly recommend them!

Rico Remigio

S.W.A.T. is really great to work with. Clayton is really awesome and is very professional, respectful, proficient, knowledgeable and delivers top quality. He came out to treat our water heater. He took the time to explain the process in detail as well as to give us a very helpful and honest assessment of our system. Thank you S.W.A.T and Clayton!

SWAT Plumbing was great from the start. With our hurry-up and wait culture, it’s easy to think your issue is the only issue. Understanding today’s climate, the timeliness was acceptable due to the holiday. The office support was kind and understanding. Our technician I believe was Hershel and he was professional, patient, respectful, and a problem solver. Our faucet had a leak, and needed to be replaced and after replacing, our water pressure was not there anymore. He diagnosed the problem and fixed it. Thanks for your great service, I would definitely use your services again if need be.

I received great service and support when I scheduled my appointment. Carlos arrived earlier than expected and was very professional and knowledgeable. He provided exceptional customer service. I highly recommend using this company.

I had a bad clog in my kitchen sink. My home warranty company contracted them to come out. They were able to get to me a day earlier than anticipated and got the clog cleared up fast. I would definitely use them again, very professional and quick.

Jermaine Wilson

Rob was punctual and communicated his arrival time . He repaired my main water line break in a short amount of time. Will definitely use again.

Addie Gaitan

Ken the GM is great! Him and his young assistant came out to my home to repair my water heater and kitchen faucet. Ken noticed that the faucet was old and he refused to try to put new parts on an old system so he called it in and received authorization to replace the entire set. Also, it took his assistance less than 5 minuets to replace the busted hose on my water heater. Their service and attention was excellent! Hi highly recommend that you try them the next time you have a plumbing issue!

Derrick Spillman

Randall provided the service. Located a problem we didn’t have on our work order and fixed it right away. Replaced our garbage disposal with one we were going to install. Very courteous. Definitely recommend.
