Steveston Plumbing Heating & Drain Cleaning

There are few things more frightening than the thought of having your plumbing fail during the night and waking to discover that an entire floor of your home is covered in raw sewage. Most people don't know to prevent nightmares like this from becoming a reality. Some simple rules can help avert this type of disaster before it happens.

Understanding Plumbing Material

The material that pipes and plumbing fixtures are made of have a certain life expectancy, although this can be influenced by a number of factors. Proper maintenance can increase the lifespan of your existing Richmond plumbing. If you are unsure of the type of plumbing used in your home, your best bet is to bring in a licensed plumber for an inspection.

PVC drain lines have a comparatively short life expectancy at 25-40 years. Copper supply pipes may last 70-80 years, depending on past maintenance. Brass and cast iron pipes and fixtures may serve their intended purpose for much longer, but a lot of this will depend on how much build-up there is inside the pipes due to minerals in the water.
