Question Answers
What's involved in a professional plumbing inspection, and why is it important?
Our plumbing inspection is a thorough evaluation of your system's health. Using tools like fiber optic cameras, we visually inspect pipes for blockages, leaks, or damage hidden behind walls and underground. We also check water pressure, fixture operation, and water heater performance. This proactive approach is important because it can identify small issues—like minor leaks or early pipe corrosion—before they become major, costly repairs, helping to protect your Salt Lake City home from water damage and ensuring everything runs efficiently.
How do you address common local issues like bathroom drain buildup?
Bathroom drain buildup from hair, soap, and minerals in our hard water is very common here. We don't just snake the drain; we use a fiber optic camera inspection first to pinpoint the exact location and nature of the clog. This allows us to choose the most effective method for removal, whether it's hydro-jetting or a targeted mechanical cleanout. We can also advise on simple maintenance habits and, if needed, discuss water softening solutions to help reduce future mineral scale buildup in your pipes.
My home has older pipes. What are my options for re-piping, and what is an Uponor system?
For homes with aging galvanized or polybutylene pipes common in older Salt Lake City neighborhoods, re-piping is a reliable long-term solution. One option we install is the Uponor PEX system. Uponor uses flexible, durable cross-linked polyethylene tubing that is resistant to scale and corrosion, which is beneficial given our local water conditions. The installation is often less invasive than traditional copper, as the flexible tubing can be maneuvered through walls with fewer cuts. With over 30 years in the trades, we assess your specific layout and needs to recommend the best material and method for a safe, efficient, and lasting plumbing system.
