If you are living in Sherman Oaks, or anywhere in the San Fernando Valley for that matter, your home is probably more than thirty years old. This means that your plumbing system is old and out of date, and having copper repipes installed may be exactly what you need to update your entire system. Homes built in this part of the country were piped with iron or galvanized pipes, which means they had a zinc coating. Over time the zinc breaks down, leading to rusty pipes.
Sherman Oaks is a neighborhood in the San Fernando Valley section of Los Angeles. There are mostly older and historic homes in this area and they will need to have copper repipe installed as soon as the smallest plumbing problem is noted. This area was also adversely affected by the earthquake in 1994, and many of the homes here were either completely destroyed or seriously damaged. When the rebuilding process began the following year the plumbing systems were ignored for the most part because of a lack of funding and the difficulties with insurance claims to cover this part of the damage.
It is usually easy to tell when you are ready for a copper repipe installation. Your water pressure may have dropped dramatically, or you may have found a leak in your pipes. The best thing to do is to call your plumber and get started with the repiping process immediately. Many people attempt to do a copper repipe job themselves, only to find they are not equipped to do this themselves and must call in a professional plumbing company.
The cleaning of the fittings and the pipes is the most important step. A flux paste is typically used. This is an acid that cleans the copper and makes it able to be soldered. You also need to make sure that the hot and cold water are connected to the correct pipes.
Keeping your home's plumbing system is top condition is essential to the overall maintenance and value of your home or commercial building. Sometimes we take our plumbing for granted, but once something goes wrong, like a leaking or broken pipe, we understand the importance of the proper care and maintenance of this vital water system.
Whether you live in Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles, or the San Fernando Valley, keeping your home's plumbing system in top condition is important to your peace of mind as well as to the overall value of your property. |
