The rugged beauty of mountain living can come with some plumbing quirks. Here are a few of the most common minor plumbing problems we see in mountain homes:
- Frozen Pipes: The combination of cold temperatures and drafty crawl spaces can lead to frozen and burst pipes, particularly in vacant vacation homes.
- Low Water Pressure: Mineral buildup, hidden leaks, and undersized pipes can all contribute to frustratingly low water pressure in mountain properties.
- Dripping Faucets: The wear and tear of hard water and frequent temperature changes can cause faucets to drip, wasting water and driving up utility bills.
- Running Toilets: High altitude and mineral-rich water can wreak havoc on toilet components, leading to constant running and wasted water.
- Slow Drains: From mineral buildup to pine needles and dirt, mountain home drains face a variety of clogs that can slow them to a crawl.
