Revelation Plumbers-  Expert Plumbers in Pittsburgh, PA

Common Plumbing Problems in Pittsburgh Homes

 

Pittsburgh’s aging infrastructure and harsh winters create some unique plumbing challenges, including:

 

Pinhole Leaks in Copper Pipes

Older homes in Pittsburgh are notorious for pinhole leaks in copper pipes, especially in the North Hills area. We offer professional pipe repair and whole-home repiping using PEX-A for long-lasting durability.

​

Frozen Pipes and Winter Damage

Frozen pipes are a leading cause of burst pipes and flooding during Pittsburgh winters. Revelation Plumbing can winterize your home and repair any damage caused by freezing.

​

Sewer Backups from Tree Roots

Many homes in Pittsburgh are equipped with older clay sewer lines that are vulnerable to tree root intrusion. Tree roots seek out moisture and can grow into small cracks in your sewer pipes, leading to blockages, backups, and even complete pipe failure. Revelation Plumbing offers advanced sewer inspection services using camera technology to detect root intrusions early. 

​

Low Water Pressure in Pittsburgh Homes

Low water pressure is a common issue for Pittsburgh homeowners, especially in older neighborhoods with aging water lines. Corroded pipes, hidden leaks, or sediment buildup can all restrict water flow, leaving you with weak showers and slow-filling sinks. Revelation Plumbing will diagnose the cause of your low water pressure and recommend effective solutions, whether it's cleaning out clogged pipes, repairing leaks, or upgrading your water line.

​

Water Heater Leaks and Failures

Water heaters are one of the most important appliances in your home, and when they leak or stop producing hot water, it can bring your day to a halt. Leaks around the base of the unit, discolored water, or inconsistent temperatures are all signs your water heater needs professional attention. Revelation Plumbing provides water heater repairs, maintenance, and replacements to keep your home comfortable year-round.

​

Frequent Clogged Toilets and Drains

If you're reaching for the plunger more often than you'd like, it's time to address the root cause of your frequent clogs. Blockages from buildup, debris, or even damaged sewer lines can cause recurring toilet and drain issues. Our team uses advanced drain cleaning methods, including hydro jetting, to clear your pipes and keep them flowing smoothly.

​

Garbage Disposal Malfunctions

Garbage disposals can jam, leak, or stop working altogether, especially if they are overworked or misused. If your disposal is making unusual noises, has stopped grinding food, or is leaking under the sink, Revelation Plumbing can repair or replace your unit quickly. We'll also advise on proper use to avoid future breakdowns.

​

Leaking Faucets and Fixtures

A dripping faucet might seem like a small annoyance, but over time it can waste hundreds of gallons of water and increase your utility bills. Leaking fixtures can also cause water damage to your cabinets and countertops. Revelation Plumbing can repair or replace all types of faucets and fixtures, improving your home's efficiency and aesthetics.

​

Sewer Gas Smells in Your Home

Sewer gas odors inside your home are a warning sign of plumbing issues, such as dried-out drain traps, cracked sewer lines, or venting problems. If you notice foul odors, especially near drains or basements, our technicians will perform a thorough inspection to locate and fix the problem before it becomes a health hazard.

​

Sump Pump Failures and Flooding

Pittsburgh's rainy seasons and snow melts can overwhelm sump pumps, leading to flooded basements and costly property damage. Whether your sump pump has stopped working, needs maintenance, or you're considering adding a backup pump, Revelation Plumbing offers installation and repair services to protect your home from water intrusion.

​

Corroded or Outdated Plumbing Pipes

Many Pittsburgh homes still have galvanized steel or aging copper pipes that are prone to corrosion, leaks, and water quality issues. Revelation Plumbing can inspect your home's plumbing system and recommend repiping options using durable, modern materials like PEX-A, ensuring a reliable water supply and fewer future repairs.

​

Running Toilets and High Water Bills

A constantly running toilet isn't just annoying—it can waste up to 200 gallons of water per day. The issue often stems from a worn-out flapper, faulty fill valve, or other internal components. Our plumbers can quickly diagnose and repair running toilets, helping you conserve water and reduce your utility bills.

​

Water Stains on Walls or Ceilings

Visible water stains on your ceilings or walls often indicate hidden plumbing leaks behind your drywall. Left unchecked, these leaks can cause mold growth, rot, and expensive structural damage. Revelation Plumbing uses state-of-the-art leak detection equipment to find the source of the leak and provide permanent repairs with minimal disruption to your home.

5-Star Reviews from Pittsburgh Homeowners

"I was recommended Revelation for a whole house replumb and they did a very good job. They did a full PEX A refit and no leaks since they installed.
They did the work very quickly and even came for the quote on a weekend.
They made minimal, clean cuts in the dry wall. They also fixed a few issues from the original installation."

-Sam, Cranberry, Pa

 

" Revelation Plumbing installed a new gas service line and a riser at my home. Brhett was knowledgeable and friendly. A neighbor smelled gas and the gas company came out and turned off gas to my house and Brhett with Revelation Plumbing came out the same day and gave me a free estimate. He was able to bring the excavator that day and install a new gas service line and the gas company got me turned back on the same day. I can’t say enough good things about Revelation Plumbing. They were friendly on the phone, got out the same day and performed the job same day. I definitely recommend them for your plumbing needs in Pittsburgh." – Tyler Pittsburgh, PA
