Temperatures are warming up, everyone is getting vaccinated, and things are starting to get fun! It’s okay to feel a bit overwhelmed by the prospect of all the outdoor activities we’ll be able to enjoy this summer and fall, and it’s only going to get better from here!
As your plumbing professionals at Pipeworks Inc. we thought it would be a great time to mention that Spring is the time to re-pipe your pool heater gas line. Before summer is in full swing and before autumn hits us hard, Springtime is absolutely when you want to get this work done.
Are you not very familiar with your pool heater? Don’t worry, we don’t expect homeowners to know the ins and outs of this particular system, all we expect is that you’re there to call us for quality services that keep you comfortable and happy.
Sump pumps are extremely valuable systems in our area. It’s probably safe to say that none of the service areas we work in are deserts, or places where there’s no flooding or regular rainfall, so we can assume that all of our homeowners might need this tool. Sump pumps keep your basement free of flooding waters, stop the growth of mold, and keep your furniture and precious heirlooms safe from any damage that might come from that water. They work automatically, and they can be installed at a very reasonable price.
Homeowners sometimes think that their sinks are the same no matter what room they’re in. While we don’t really discriminate in terms of the installation of a new sink, sometimes the problems can be vastly different. After all, who shaves over a kitchen sink, and who flushes leftover oatmeal down a bathroom sink drain? These systems are treated very differently and it’s important to remember that when you encounter problems.
Drain cleaning isn’t just a simple process. Homeowners think they can just flush anything away with enough water or drain cleaning chemicals, but they just don’t understand how dense and packed in some of these clogging materials are. You might just be wasting water, or in fact, hurting your plumbing system by using chemicals instead of the steady hand of a professional.
Your sink’s plumbing is so important to the wellbeing of your home. How are you supposed to have a nice, cozy Monday night if your sink is constantly leaking in the other room? If you pull the handle on your faucet and something happens that always upsets you, then we’re here to tell you that something needs to change.
Oh boy, this is a tough one. Very few feelings in the world feel worse than being forced to take a cold shower on a winter’s day. While cold showers might be refreshing and somewhat healthy in the summer, they’re absolutely brutal in the winter. To many homeowners, avoiding the need to use cold water during this time of year is priority number one.
Earlier this month, we talked about some of the most important aspects of choosing a professional plumber. While we could go on about how important our services are over that of an amateur, we’d like to shift topics to a service that we think is heavily underutilized—pipeline inspection.
The water heater olympics are upon us, and if you’re in the market for a water heater that’s right for you, you’re going to want to pay attention to the winner of this competition. Today, we’ll be comparing the two most common and powerful water heaters in our area—the conventional tank water heater and the unconventional tankless water heater.
You’ve probably heard us talk your ear off about drain clogs and drain cleaning, but what about full-scale drain repair? How can you tell if your drain is damaged? Well, don’t worry. We don’t ask questions that we don’t aim to answer eventually!
