When to replace old water pipes

Should I replace old water pipes or try to get more usage is a question many homeowners ask. This is because over time water pipes can wear out and require replacement. A sure sign of this is low flow rates (because pipes are full of corrosion). Some other signs include constant pipe repairs, small leaks, high water bills, or rusty water coming from faucets.  Many times valves and hose bibs will not be functioning as well either due to corrosion in the pipe they are attached to.  If you see these signs call Optimized Plumbing & Piping today at 209-3524294. We are a full service plumbing contractor who serves Tuolumne and Calaveras counties.

Water pipes can last twenty five years or more , but sooner or later constant use takes a toll on any piping system requiring you to replace old water pipes.

  • Copper can develop pin hole leaks.
  • Galvanized pipe can look good on the outside and be completely corroded on the inside.
  • Plastic pipe can have any number of problems including : being brittle, splitting, cracking, bursting or being chewed on by rodents.

While deciding when to replace old water pipes in your home you should consider that even though it is a cost you were probably hoping to avoid it will pay off because of savings on costly plumbing repairs, floods that can happen because old pipes start to leak, or high water bills due to pipes leaking underground. Just to remedy one of these problems will probably pay off in the long run. This is because a quality copper re-piping job can last for twenty five years or more.

Another benefit of installing new water pipes in your home is that new pipe, fittings, and valves are lead free to protect your family and the environment. With no corrosion after you have chosen to replace old water pipes you will also notice that water has a cleaner taste, less smell and will require less filtration. You may also notice less staining of plumbing fixtures since rust in old pipes could be causing rust stains.

If you would like to schedule us to give you a quote to replace old water pipes or any other plumbing service give us a call at 209-352-4294. Our Sonora CA based plumbers provide service for all parts of Tuolumne County, and Calaveras County including Angels Camp, San Andreas, Copperopolis, Murphys, Arnold, Twain Harte, Mi Wuk Village, and Groveland.

Below you will find the benefits of each but if you have any questions or would like to schedule an installation please call us today at 209-352-4294.

Whole house water filters

  • Can provide cleaner drinking water.

  • Less staining of clothes
  • Less corrosion to pipes, valves, and plumbing fixtures

Water filters remove sand, sediment, calcium, magnesium, chlorine, lead, and other elements from water.

Point of use water filters (including carbon filters or reverse osmosis)

Reverse osmosis uses a semipermeable membrane to filter water. They can remove 99% of elements including lead, mercury, copper, pesticides, herbicides, nitrates, tannins, bacteria, and disease causing pathogens. Most RO filters have between 3-5 stages of filtration.

  1. Course pre filter to remove sand, rust, and sediment.
  2. Carbon block which removes chlorine, and taste/odor.
  3. Carbon block further reduces taste and odor.
  4. Reverse osmosis membrane reduces microscopic impurities.
  5. Activated carbon granules finish off the process

RO maintenance

  • Carbon pre filters normally need to be replaced every 6 months.
  • RO membranes normally need to be replaced every 2-5 years.

5 Tips for Sonora Plumbing Repair

Sonora plumbing repair can cover a wide range of topics like: water line leak repair, repairing a broken toilet, repairing a broken or leaking drain, repairing a broken sink, or a leaking faucet, water heater repair, garbage disposal repair, or fixing frozen pipes, but in this post our Sonora, Ca plumbers will give you 5 tips that will help prevent plumbing problems, or make them easier to repair if needed.

 

Sonora Plumbing Repair Tip #1   Learn where emergency shutoff valves are. Nothing is worse than having water flooding your home, and not knowing how to shut it off. Learn where shutoff valves are before hand. There should be a shutoff valve by your water meter, and one closer to your home or even inside for easier access. If you don’t have a good shutoff valve call Optimized Plumbing & Piping at 209-352-4294  to install a new dependable ball valve before you have an emergency.  Also you should make sure what fixtures are shutoff with the valve since there is a possibility of having more than one valve to shutoff the entire home.

 

Sonora Plumbing Repair Tip #2  Make sure each fixture has it’s own shutoff valve.  Also if the fixtures have flex lines to the fixture they should be periodically checked and replaced because they don’t last forever. The angle stops might need to be replaced periodically as well because eventually they will stop working, and could even start dripping causing rotten cabinets and sub floors or even cause mold growth.

 

Sonora Plumbing Repair Tip #3  Don’t pour grease and oils from cooking down drain lines. Many clogged drains are caused by pouring grease down the kitchen sink. The grease or oil starts as a liquid when it is hot but solidifies when it cools off in the drain. The same can happen with a dishwasher drain hose if greasy dishes or pans are put in without cleaning them off first. This normally causes a dishwasher full of water after the cycle should be complete. Do yourself a favor and pour grease in a coffee can and put  it in the garbage to avoid paying for a plumber to unclog your drain lines.

 

Sonora Plumbing Repair Tip #4  Plant trees away from drain lines (especially ones with invasive roots).  Many people don’t consider drain line locations when planting trees in their yard.  This is a mistake because roots can find their way into drain lines which causes blockages.  These can be cleared out temporarily but many times the drain will have to be dug up and replaced. This entails digging up any landscaping in the way, and the roots of the tree infiltrating the waste line.

 

Sonora Plumbing Repair Tip #5  Maintain plumbing and keep in good condition to avoid costly emergency work.  Many people leave their plumbing unchecked for long periods, and don’t think about it until they have a plumbing emergency.  Some people will even notice a small water leak and not have it repaired until it becomes a major leak and causes damage. Leaks don’t normally fix themselves, and the most cost effective time to fix them is when they are first noticed.

What to do if you have a plumbing emergency in Sonora California

Here are some tips from your Sonora plumbers at Optimized Plumbing & Piping for what to do in case of a plumbing emergency we hope this helps you avoid the costly damage that can be caused while water is running from a leaking pipe or while waiting for a water heater repair.

1) Turn off water at your main shutoff valve. If the only one you have is at your meter box you should have one added that is in a more convenient location, and close to get to in emergencies.

2) Turn off water heater. To do this on a gas water heater shut off the gas valve, then turn the control dial to off. On an electric water heater shut off the power supply. If you don’t turn of the water heater the heat can damage your tank or elements with out water inside to dissipate the heat.

3) Open Faucets. Open all faucets to drain the water from your plumbing system faster.

4) Flush toilets Flush all toilets to help drain water. Make sure fixtures on upper floors are open even if they don’t have water coming out, this will break the vapor block and let the water drain faster.

5) Try to locate the leak. Look for water coming from walls, or from underneath fixtures. If no flow of water is visible it may be helpful for someone to open the water valve a little bit, and somebody else to look for flowing water.

6) Call Sonora plumbers at Optimized Plumbing & Piping We provide plumbing service for the areas of Sonora, Angels Camp, Copperopolis, Groveland, Twain Harte, Tuolumne, San Andreas, Jackson, Oakdale, Riverbank, Modesto, and Merced                      (209)352-4294
