With state-of-the-art equipment, Alt Plumbing is able to find concealed water leaks including leaks behind walls, under concrete slabs, among landscaping and irrigation systems and radiant heat systems. Typically, Alt Plumbing can directly repair these leaks without a lot of disruption or inconvenience. Our experienced technicians are familiar with all types of water pipe including galvanized steel, copper, P.V.C., and polybutylene. Even with the latest equipment and techniques, some leaks cannot be pinpointed exactly. For this reason, there may be additional costs associated with the extra labor needed to complete the leak detection.
Instead of repairing a small section of water pipe, you may want to replace the entire system. This procedure is known as a “re-pipe”. Re-piping is a process of refitting pipes in a home or business with new copper pipe. Re-piping is not a temporary fix or replacement of short sections of pipe throughout your structure, it is replacing the entire system. Copper re-piping provides great water pressure throughout your home, improves delivery of hot water, eliminates costly water damage repair bills and saves money on water lost to an inefficient system.
Re-piping projects should not wait until you start noticing leaks. Watch for signs associated with degenerating pipes, such as flakes of dark material in your water, odd-tasting tap water or decreased water pressure. Our plumbers can assist you in assessing your situation and determining the best solution to meet your needs.
