DOMESTIC WATER REPAIRS AND REPLACEMENT
Plumbing systems wear out and some piping materials last longer than others. Older homes (prior to 1980) traditionally used galvanized steel pipes in residential plumbing but contractors now tend to use brass and copper pipes.
Here’s a quick guideline of how long pipes last:
Brass pipes: 40 - 70 years
Copper pipes: 50 years
Galvanized steel pipes: 20 - 50 years
Aging pipes may burst so here are a few signs that may mean it’s time to update your pipes: Low water pressure: when water pressure drops it may be a sign that corrosion has set in and pipes need replacing. Corrosion build-up can block but as experienced plumbing professionals we use a Digital Pipe Inspection Camera (plus you can get a copy of what we find on a thumb drive, DVD, or via email). Water and sewage leaks: water leaks in the walls and underground can easily go undetected but if you experience slow running faucets, slow draining tubs or toilets, and stains on ceilings and walls there may be damage, clogs, or corrosion, in the pipes. Water color: milky or red colored water can indicates rust and corrosion in galvanized steel. When it’s time to replace those old pipes call Custom Plumbing in Shasta County.
HEATED AND/ OR COOLED FLOORS: HYDRONIC HEATING FOR WARM FLOORS
Hydronic heating systems provide warmth by pumping hot water to radiators, under-floor tubing, or to heat exchangers. There are several advantages in using hydronic heating in your home or commercial property: Allergies and respiratory ailments: People with allergies and respiratory concerns may prefer radiant heating because these heating systems don't blow air around like forced-air heating. Comfort: hydronic baseboard heat and hydronic radiant floor keeps warmth low in the room (typical forced-air heat forces warmth from the top of a room down). Energy efficiency: a well-designed hydronic heating system can be more energy efficient; especially when a tankless water heater is the main hot water source in your home or commercial property. Schedule a free estimate and let’s discuss the best heating system for your home or commercial property.
