The Most Common Plumbing Problems in Rocklin Homes — And How to Prevent Them

1. Clogged Drains and Backups

Rocklin homeowners often experience clogged kitchen sinks, bathroom sinks, and shower drains. The biggest culprits?

• Food grease
• Hair
• Coffee grounds
• Soap scum
• Wipes or hygiene products

Prevention Tip:
Use drain screens, avoid pouring grease in sinks, and never flush wipes (even “flushable” ones).

2. Hard Water Buildup

Rocklin has moderately hard water, which causes mineral buildup inside pipes, faucets, and appliances.

Signs include:

• Low water pressure
• White crusty buildup
• Slow-heating water heaters

Prevention Tip:
Install a water softener or have The Plumbing Pros flush your water heater annually.

3. Running Toilets

A running toilet may seem harmless, but it can waste hundreds of gallons of water each day.

Most common causes:

• Worn flapper
• Faulty fill valve
• Mineral buildup in tank

Prevention Tip:
Replace worn toilet parts every few years and call us if your toilet refills constantly.

4. Water Heater Leaks or Failure

Whether you live near Whitney Ranch or Stanford Ranch, water heaters in Rocklin homes take a beating from hard water.
