When to Choose Flexible Plumbing Lines

Monday, May 8th, 2023

We’ve all seen flexible plumbing lines. They’re those cool looking pipes with an almost woven aesthetic to them. You can bend them into place and they don’t leak. No, it’s not magic, it’s twisted steel that forms together into a pipe that can be placed in any position!

However, flexible plumbing lines should not be used for everything. They’re a niche product and they have very specific uses that can make them handy in a pinch. But they’re not supposed to replace every pipe in your home, or you might end up in an over-engineered nightmare.

So, as your local team of expert plumbers, we’ll let you in on some of the industry pros and cons of using these kinds of pipes. They’re a handy tool for plumbing service in Turlock, CA, but they’re not a one-size fits all solution!

It’s been nice to have some cooler days here and there in recent weeks. It’s a sign that fall really is upon us, and we hopefully have some nicer weather to look forward to. Of course, you know as well as we do that we can still have warm, and even hot, temperatures going into the next few months, unlike our friends and family on the east coast or the midwest!

And so, it’s important to be ready for anything. The best way to be prepared for warmer temperatures is to ensure that your air conditioner is well-maintained by a professional. Maintenance allows us to thoroughly inspect, clean, and adjust the components that need it, in order to ensure that your air conditioner works as efficiently and effectively as possible, for as long as possible.

Maintenance even helps reduce repair needs by as much as 85%! Of course, however, your system is still going to accumulate wear and tear. You will need to have repairs done every now and then. Read on as we uncover some of the signs that this is the case, and what those signs might mean.

Beware These Signs of a Leak

Monday, November 22nd, 2021

At some point or another, you’ve probably seen a show or a movie that depicts a character discovering a leak when a heavy rainstorm hits or when they’re just about to get ready for a huge family gathering in their home. These types of scenes usually include a bunch of buckets of water being placed around the house or an aggressive amount of water coming from a central location.

These scenes are meant to be dramatic, of course. But the truth is, the signs that you actually have a plumbing leak in your home tend to be more subtle. In fact, gushing water is something that typically doesn’t happen unless you have a frozen pipe burst as it thaws, or unless you’ve had a growing problem for a while that’s already done a bit of damage.

Read on as we uncover some of the much subtler signs that you have a plumbing leak.
