How well does your home’s plumbing system work? While newer homes are being built with PVC plastic, copper or PEX piping rather than cast-iron and brass which was used back in the day there’s a lot more that goes into a proper plumbing system than just the pipes. It takes a skilled plumber and many years of experience to install a plumbing system the right way – so that a simple leak doesn’t turn into a major nightmare.
While lots of plumbers out there stick to the codes and rules, it’s far more beneficial for homeowners to look for ones that take it a step further. A good plumber will take the time to plan out and arrange the pipes so you can enjoy a system that’s quiet, leak-free and efficient.
Things To Consider:
Extra Shutoff Valves – these are extremely helpful when you have a problem. Shutoff valves for each fixture and each appliance will allow you to cut the water where the problem exists, but not to the rest of the house.
Go Low-Flow – still have old plumbing fixtures in your Twin Cities – St. Paul home? They might be costing you. Homeowners should be making an effort to upgrade to low-flow fixtures to save water and extend the lifespan of your plumbing system.
