Of course, at Get A Plumber Now we care about providing good service, and that includes helping you keep plumbing issues at bay. We’ll show you everything we know prevention-wise so that you’ll be able to keep your plumbing issue-free for as long as possible. We’ll also give out some secrets to addressing some of the issues yourself where possible so you don’t have to pay for a plumber.
All the top-tier plumbing companies are now use pipelining because it’s a new technology that helps you avoid a lot of tearing up, and so it keeps your backyard much cleaner. Not just that, but the epoxy or resin we use is so tough that roots won’t be able to grow through the new pipe.
We’ll start by descaling the pipe and removing the buildup to ensure the lining fits through. Then we’ll use a CCTV camera to inspect and measure the pipe so the lining can be cut to size. We’ll cover the sleeve in resin and push the bladder (or the “balloon”) through the pipeliner. After that, we insert the liner in the pipe and blow out air to expand it. We’ll wait for the resin to harden and pull out the bladder.
Your new pipes will be tougher and more durable than ever. Generally, they last about 50 years in which time you won’t have to worry about roots growing through them. We also offer you a 30 to 40 year warranty!
Pipelining uses an epoxy resin that hardens in place to create a new, stronger pipe.
In certain situations, chemicals are used in the pipelining process to give the resin a boost in strength and durability. If, however, we’re pipelining a line used only for drinking water, there won’t be any chemicals involved in the process.
The average pipelining job can be finished in about two hours, and it’s usually a two-man job.
When it comes to providing hot water for your home, there are two main options: a tankless water heater or a traditional water heater. Both have their pros and cons, so it’s important to weigh your needs before making a decision. One advantage of a tankless water heater is that it doesn’t store hot water, so there’s no need to worry about running out of hot water. They are called an “on-demand system”. They also tend to be more energy-efficient than traditional water heaters, because they only heat water when you need it.
On the other hand, tankless water heaters can be more expensive to purchase and install, but they may not be able to meet the demands of a large household. We’ll make sure to advise you on the best option for your home.
Yes, state law requires a permit for installing any type of water heater, be it electrical or gas, as well as a final inspection. At Get A Plumber Now, we can take care of permitting on your behalf for a fee of $450 to help you avoid the paperwork.
Electric water heaters are generally considered safer than gas water heaters, as they are less likely to cause a fire. However, gas water heaters are cheaper to operate in the long run.
Yes, you can technically install a hot water system as a homeowner, but unless you have high electrical, gas, and plumbing knowledge, we recommend you stay away from it. There are a lot of technical and safety implications when installing a water heater and you wouldn’t want to put yourself or your family in danger, so it’s best you call a professional.
All installations comply to California’s building codes and local laws and regulations.
It depends on the type of water heater you have, as well as on other factors such as if you’re performing regular maintenance, the hardness of your water, and usage. Generally speaking, with proper maintenance, tankless water heaters, gas water heaters, or electrical water heaters last 15 to 20 years.
