Do Your Pipes Need to Be Upgraded?

Monday, July 25th, 2022

Pipes can come in all shapes and sizes, but not all materials. Since the 1960s, different types of piping materials like lead and galvanized steel have been phased out due to their detrimental health effects and their inability to properly bring us water (or deposit wastewater). We’ve made some serious changes to the way we offer plumbing in this country, and using materials like copper, PVC, and PEX is just the start.

Before we get ahead of ourselves, we need to talk about the basics. How do you even begin to know when your pipes need to be replaced or upgraded? Sure, you could just call a plumber in New Orleans, LA like the ones on our team–but that might not be right for everyone. Some people want to know the signs of a degrading or outdated plumbing system, so they feel confident and know when to call for help.

Your Plumbing Leak Could Contaminate Your Water

Monday, February 7th, 2022

It’s easier for a homeowner to think of their home plumbing system this way: water in and waste out. There’s a line of clean water going into your house known as the main water line, and then there’s the line of wastewater heading out of your house, known as the sewer or septic line. Every single home requires both of these sets because we make water dirty by default and must send it off to be processed or cleaned.

So, you can tell why we’d be concerned if someone’s main water line was getting contaminated from a leak in a drain or sewer line. Contamination is no joke, and our plumbers in Gretna, LA take it very seriously. If you’ve got a leak in your sewer drain, drain pipe, or another wastewater pipe, then you’re going to want a professional to take a look and ensure it’s not contaminating your freshwater line.

Get Rid of Your Lead Pipes

Monday, October 18th, 2021

Every plumber in Metairie, LA would probably tell you to replace your lead pipes. There are various different reasons to do this, which we’ll get into down below, but the moral of the story is that lead pipes just aren’t used in plumbing systems anymore. Most lead pipes have already been replaced, and the few that are still in use are way older than functioning pipes should be.

However, the longevity and efficacy of lead pipes aren’t the first things that homeowners think of when they discover that their homes have lead. The most concerning issue that comes to mind with lead pipes is safety, like the effects that can come from lead poisoning over several years or decades.

Today, we’re going to go into specifics about lead pipes and how they can be unsafe. We’ll also talk about lead pipes that might not be a health risk, but can be a plumbing risk when looking towards the future.
