When to call a professional

Not sure if it is time to get help? If any of these sound familiar, it is worth a call.

• Water pressure drops noticeably when a second fixture is opened — common in Alta cabins with undersized or partially frozen supply lines, and a sign that a blockage or leak is developing somewhere in the system.
• A faint sulfur or rotten-egg smell near drains that persists even after cleaning — indicates a dry P-trap or a vent stack blockage, both of which allow sewer gas into the living space and will only get worse.
• Discolored water (brown, rust-orange, or cloudy white) from cold taps after the property has been empty for a few days — usually means sediment buildup or corrosion inside galvanized pipes, and a full failure is often weeks away.
• A water heater that cycles on and off every few minutes or makes banging and popping noises — caused by mineral buildup on the heating element in Alta's hard water, and left untreated it will crack the tank and flood your utility room.
• Ice buildup on the exterior of a pipe, even when the space is heated — means insulation has failed or heat trace has stopped working, and a full freeze and burst is imminent once the next cold snap arrives.
• Slow drains throughout the property, not just one fixture — points to a main sewer line blockage or a vent stack issue, and it will progress to a full backup that overflows toilets and floor drains.
• A toilet that runs continuously or refills randomly when nobody has flushed it — the flapper valve is leaking, wasting hundreds of gallons a month and driving up your utility bill, and it often indicates the fill valve is failing too.
• Wet or soft spots on walls, ceilings, or floors near plumbing lines — a hidden leak is soaking the structure, and by the time you see visible damage the drywall and insulation are already compromised and need replacement.
