Known Plumbing - Farmington's Trusted Plumbing Contractor

Sediment buildup in water heaters is common in our area due to mineral content in the water. A recirculation pump helps by keeping water moving through the system, which reduces the time sediment has to settle and harden at the bottom of your tank. This not only improves your heater's efficiency and lifespan but also ensures you get hot water faster to your faucets, saving water and energy. Our team at Known Plumbing can assess your home and install a system tailored to reduce sediment-related problems.

Common signs include discolored water (often brownish or reddish), low water pressure, frequent leaks, or a metallic taste. Corrosion is a significant concern in many local homes due to aging galvanized steel pipes. During a plumbing inspection, our technicians at Known Plumbing will check for these signs and assess the overall health of your pipes. We can then recommend targeted repairs or a full replacement with corrosion-resistant materials like copper or PEX to prevent future leaks and water damage.

A proper installation starts with a thorough inspection. We check your existing plumbing for issues like corrosion, incorrect pipe sizing, or faulty valves that could affect your new water heater's performance and safety. For instance, if sediment has damaged old connections or corrosion is present, addressing it during the installation prevents callbacks and ensures your new unit operates at peak efficiency. At Known Plumbing, our inspection ensures your installation meets local codes and is built to last, giving you reliable hot water for years to come.
