Repiping Tips: Which Plumbing Materials Are Outdated and Need Replacement?

Monday, October 7th, 2024

Repiping is an important job of a plumbing company. Depending on how many problems you’re seeing with your old plumbing system, you might have to have large sections of your home completely replaced and repiped. This is not a bad thing, since those old pipes could be leading to disastrous results or even health effects for your family.

In truth, repiping is something that everyone will need at least once in their lifetime if they’re a homeowner. In 50 years, new pipe materials are invented and mass-produced, while old pipe materials are discovered to be ineffective and risky. This leads to breakthroughs that we always want to make customers aware of.

The On-Demand Water Heater: Worth It?

Monday, December 4th, 2023

For decades, homeowners had one basic choice when it came to water heaters: storage tank water heaters. You know the type, because you probably have one working away in your house right now. The water heater stores a tank of water kept at the appropriate temperature, periodically running to replace lost heat so the water is ready for use when a tap comes on.

Today, there’s another water heater option that’s becoming increasingly popular: the on-demand water heater, also known as a tankless water heater. If you’re considering replacing your current water heater, you might be curious about making the leap to an on-demand water heater in Tampa, FL. Before deciding, you may also want to learn when to finally replace old plumbing fixtures to ensure your system is up-to-date and compatible.

We’re glad to help you—starting with looking at whether an on-demand water heater is worth the investment.
