If you notice signs like higher water bills, damp spots, or moldy smells, you may have a leak somewhere in your plumbing system. Start by checking visible areas around sinks, toilets, and appliances. If nothing stands out, it’s possible the leak is under your foundation or behind walls. In that case, professional leak detection is the best next step. Cherokee Plumbing uses specialized equipment to locate hidden leaks without unnecessary damage to your home.

A slab leak occurs when a water line running beneath your concrete foundation breaks or leaks. Common signs include warm spots on the floor, water pooling where it shouldn’t, or the sound of running water when no taps are on. Slab leaks can cause serious structural damage if not addressed, so early detection and repair are critical. We offer non-invasive diagnostic methods to identify and repair slab leaks efficiently.

A constantly running toilet usually means that one or more parts inside the tank aren’t working properly. The flapper might not be sealing, the float may be set too high, or the fill valve could be faulty. While it's often a quick fix, ignoring the issue can waste hundreds of gallons of water per day. Our technicians can quickly pinpoint the cause and provide a long-term solution.

The best way to avoid clogs is to be mindful of what goes down your drains. In kitchens, avoid pouring grease or food scraps into the sink. In bathrooms, use drain screens to catch hair and soap buildup. Regular cleaning and avoiding chemical drain cleaners can also help protect your pipes. If you’re dealing with frequent clogs, it may be a sign of a deeper issue in your plumbing system.

A regular clog usually affects a single fixture—like a backed-up sink or slow-draining tub. A sewer stoppage, on the other hand, blocks the main sewer line, affecting multiple drains at once. If you notice that flushing the toilet causes water to rise in the tub or that all your drains are slow, you could be dealing with a main line stoppage. This requires professional tools and should be addressed quickly to avoid backups.

The repair timeline depends on the severity and location of the issue. In many cases, once the leak is located, we can complete the repair the same day. More complex jobs may take longer, especially if rerouting or foundation access is involved. At Cherokee Plumbing, we prioritize efficient scheduling and clear communication so you know exactly what to expect throughout the process.

If the low pressure is isolated to one fixture or room, the issue could be mineral buildup, a partially closed valve, or a failing pressure regulator in that area. Cleaning aerators or showerheads may help in minor cases. If the problem persists, it’s a good idea to have a plumber assess the pressure levels and check for hidden blockages or leaks.

While over-the-counter drain cleaners might offer a quick fix, they often do more harm than good. These chemical solutions can corrode your pipes, especially in older homes, and may not fully clear the blockage. They also pose risks to your health and plumbing system. Professional cleaning is a safer and more effective option, especially for recurring or deep clogs.
