When is it Time to Repipe?

Think of your Post Falls or area home’s piping system the way you might think of the arteries around your heart. If they are not in good shape, then the entire system is compromised. The water you use each day travels within your home. When that infrastructure begins to age, and you neglect to take care of it, the consequences impact your entire living space!

Here are some reasons why repiping becomes necessary-

1.  Clean up your drinking water

2.  Patch up leaks

3.  Increase water pressure

4.  Replace any pipes that may be corroded

5.  Less maintenance will be needed in the future

A River City Plumbing will come to you and do a repiping in your Spokane or Coeur d’Alene home, which will not only help with the points above but increase the value of your home as well. The best part may be if you visit arivercityplumbingservice.com on the web you can save $250 on a home repiping! Just call the number near you.

What is Hydro Jetting?

As it pertains to keeping your Coeur d’Alene or Spokane area home’s pipes clean and keep your drains from getting clogged, there are a couple of options to choose from. The two main ones that plumbers prefer are the use of plumbing snakes (or often referred to as plumbing augers) and something known as hydro jetting.

So how does it work, exactly? Hydro jetting is a method used by those experienced plumbing contractors in our area to clean slow or clogged sewage lines. Hydro jetting systems normally use water at a pressure of around an astonishing 35,000 pounds per square inch or even more, which works very effectively!

To find a company that does an expert job of hydro jetting in the Coeur d’ Alene and Spokane WA areas you merely have to google arivercityplumbingservice.com. Here, you will find a myriad of plumbing services both emergency and preventative. The next step is just call the phone number that covers your area. Keep the pipes clean in 2021!

Licensed, Bonded, and Insured.

These are three traits that you should never compromise on when hiring a plumbing company for a job around your home or business. Why? Well when plumbing is poorly installed just to save a buck it can cause significant property damage as well as pose a health risk to your family. Is that reason enough?

It is very simple…a plumbing license is essentially a certificate that a plumber has sufficient education and training as well as legal permission to offer plumbing services on your property. They must…1.)  pass a licensing exam, 2.) Pass a criminal background check, 3.) File for a business name, as well as 4.) show proof of commercial liability insurance.

It really is essential to ensure you hire a licensed, bonded, and insured professional plumber such as A River City Plumbing. It doesn’t matter where you reside in the Coeur d’Alene or Spokane area “them’s the facts” as they say! Just go to the web and type in arivercityplumbingservice.com then call the phone number that applies to your specific area.

Keep Boiling…We Have a Ways to Go.

Winter has a long way to go and your home’s boiler needs to be ready for the coldest weather of the season. Here is why you have a boiler…it delivers hot water through pipes and under floors to quickly heat up a room and the objects in it, making it one of the most effective as well as efficient means of home heating.

Here are some signs to look for when your home’s boiler is beginning to fail –

1.  When it starts leaking it almost certainly needs to be replaced.

2.  You have had it repaired several times already.

3.  It uses more and more fuel each month.

4.  How old is it?

Never fear…A River City Plumbing is here! They are Coeur d’Alene and Spokane’s boiler replacement professionals. At the first of any of the above signs call A River City Plumbing to get the peace of mind for the months of cold weather ahead.

Regular Water Heaters are NOT Invincible.

They are certainly reliable and hard-working, but not immortal. How old is your home’s water heater? It really does not matter where you live, the older your home’s water heater is the more likely it is to break down. As a general rule, a tank style water heater will last, on average, 8 to 12 years. That is just the way it is!

Some other clues that your water heater is about to bite the dust are –

1.  Rust and corrosion.

2.  Its drain valve is giving out…listen for a popping sound when the burner ignites.

3.  Leaking…drip, drip, drip.

4.  Hot water becomes “cool” water.

How long have you lived in your Coeur d'Alene or Spokane area home? Is your water heater original equipment? Why not call A River City Plumbing to have your water heater inspected and perhaps replaced?
