Common Plumbing Problems in Puyallup Homes
About 70 percent of Puyallup's water comes from 2 springs. Salmon Springs alone supplies more than 60 percent and has been the main source since 1906. Wells provide most of the rest.
The city reports pH of about 7.1 to 7.2 and is adding iron and manganese removal at one of its larger wells. The median Puyallup home was built in 1987.
Spring Water Since 1906
Most Puyallup tap water comes from Salmon Springs and Maplewood Springs, with wells filling in. Some well water carries natural iron and manganese that can leave brown or black stains, which the city is treating at one of its wells. If only one faucet is discolored, look at the pipe feeding it.
Before a Cold Snap in Puyallup
- Disconnect hoses and cover outside faucets.
- Insulate pipes in crawl spaces and garages.
- Know where your main shutoff is; it may be in the crawl space or at the meter box.
- If a pipe freezes, open its faucet and close the main shutoff before it thaws. See frozen pipes.
Crawl Space Leaks
Pipes under the house leak out of sight until the bill rises.
What Affects Plumbing Costs in Puyallup
No plumber can quote a firm price before seeing the problem. These are the things that move the cost of plumbing work in Puyallup.
- Crawl space access. Low clearance adds time.
- Freeze damage. Several fittings can crack in one cold snap.
- Finding the problem. Leak locating and camera inspections are separate steps, but they keep the repair itself small.
- Time of day. Many companies charge an after-hours, weekend or holiday fee.
- Ask for the arrival fee before the plumber heads out, and for the repair price in writing before work starts.
