When it comes to bathroom plumbing, there are a few different possibilities in terms of what kind of hot water system you have. Each style of hot water system has its own benefits and disadvantages, and each kind will require slightly different services.
The most common type of water system in a modern residence is a low-pressure gravity-fed system. A gravity-fed system relies on gravity to assist the water in moving through the home’s pipes. It is also called a low-pressure system because gravity is the only force that pushes the water through the pipes. If your cold water comes from a storage tank with a cylinder for hot water, you have a low-pressure gravity-fed system.
Common problems people run into with low-pressure gravity-fed plumbing systems include:
- Ruptured pipes: The pipes used in gravity-fed systems are resistant to a pressure called Nominal Pressure (NP). NP describes the maximum internal pressure that the pipe and its joints are able to withstand. If the pressure in the pipe is higher than the NP, you risk the pipes rupturing. When a water pipe ruptures or bursts, not only can water leak, but it can actually pour onto the floor and cause costly structural damages. Our plumbers can make sure that your water pressure is at an ideal level to prevent ruptures like this.
- Trapped air bubbles: A gravity-fed water system requires an intake that is screened from debris and submerged properly in order to prevent air from entering the pipeline. When air bubbles collect, they reduce the amount of cross-sectional liquid that can pass through, which reduces the efficiency of the system and creates dangerous high-velocity currents. Air bubbles in the water pipes can also create irritating noises that can seriously disturb your shower time. Our team will work to restore the steady flow of your water line so you don’t run into these issues.
- Improper installation: A gravity-fed water system requires a properly sized pipe diameter as well as careful pipe placement. It is important to choose a knowledgeable and skilled plumber for this job. Unfortunately, we run into low quality installations frequently, but we work diligently to correct the existing issue. Improperly installed pipelines can lead to leaks, low efficiency, and increased bills. Plus, more maintenance will be required over time. Plumbers must consider intricate details like the length of the pipeline, the elevation difference, the correct grade, and whether or not the pipe needs air release valves. Our team is committed to excellence in service, and you can rely on us to carry out these complex projects to perfection.

We have used Wolfschmidt before for HVAC issues and have always been pleased with their prompt service and the quality of their work. Today we had a burst pipe. They initially told us that they didn't have anyone for the repair for another 2 days but would send someone out to assess the situation. They arrived promptly and were able to fix the problem immediately. Elton, patiently explained everything (the work he was about to do as well as other options) to me in a way I could understand which made me very confident in his expertise. He also has a great sense of humor which made me laugh despite my living room being flooded. If you haven't used them before, you should, for any plumbing or HVAC issues. They treat their repeat customers VERY well!- Kevin K.

Alternative Hot Water Systems
Two additional types of hot water systems are unvented hot water systems, which are designed to cope with mains pressure water and heat the water through a heating coil, and combination boilers, which create hot water. The most common problem people run into with unvented hot water systems is simply a lack of hot water. If you are running into this issue, it might be because of a tripped circuit breaker or an issue with the residual current device. By having regular maintenance performed, you can attain the peace of mind in knowing that your water flow is in good condition.
As for combination boilers, because they take water directly from the mains supply, they can create low water pressure. This can be pretty unpleasant when you are taking a shower or trying to flush the toilet. Our team can make sure the filling loop hoses are securely attached and that your combination boiler is functioning properly to maintain water pressure in your bathroom and beyond.
All new bathrooms should ideally be connected to a soil pipe. This is because plumbing waste fixtures use traps to stop sewer gases from leaking into the house. These traps are connected to waste lines, which transport the waste to a soil pipe. No matter what type of hot water system you use, most bathrooms run into some of the same issues at one point or another. Some common bathroom plumbing issues that our team can fix for you include:
- Low water pressure
- Running toilet
- Leaky pipes
- Slow draining tubs and sinks
- Clogged drains
- Clogged toilets
- Sewer smells
