El Dorado Piping and Repiping

• Reduced risk of leaks: Old pipes often develop leaks that lead to water damage and costly repairs. Repiping addresses the weak spots in your plumbing, providing a secure system that protects your home from hidden water damage.
• Improved energy efficiency: New pipes optimize water movement and reduce strain on your water heater and appliances, cutting down on energy usage and potentially lowering your monthly utility bills.
• Property value: Repiping is an investment in your home’s future. Modern, durable plumbing systems could appeal to potential buyers, increasing your home’s value and marketability.
• Peace of mind: Knowing your plumbing is strong and up-to-date can reduce the stress and unpredictability of frequent repairs or sudden pipe bursts. 
• Customization: Repiping allows you to choose the ideal materials for your home, such as copper or PEX. Your system should suit your budget, water quality preferences, and longevity expectations. Our techs will give you sound advice about your options. 

DIY Maintenance Tips for Your Pipes

• Regular inspection: Check exposed pipes for visible signs of wear, such as rust, cracks, or flaking.
• Flush your drains: Hot water or mild solutions like baking soda and vinegar can help clear your sinks, tubs, and shower drains of buildup, preventing clogs and blockages from forming.
• Be cautious about water pressure: Excessively high water pressure can strain your pipes and lead to cracks. 
• Avoid chemical drain cleaners: While tempting for clearing clogs, harsh chemical cleaners can erode your pipes. 
• Look out for water quality changes: Rust-colored water or odd smells may indicate internal pipe damage or contamination.

Homeowners should do all of these things, and they should also schedule regular professional inspections. Our plumbers can identify hidden issues, such as small leaks or early corrosion, which are easy to miss but could worsen without attention. Routine check-ups by our team can go a long way in extending the life of your pipes.
