Toilet Replacement
Although toilets usually last a very long time but they might develop problems. For instance, their flappers must be replaced every few years. A toilet replacement must happen if your toilet is experiencing recurrent clogs or constant leaks. In addition, basic repairs can extend a toilet’s lifespan, but if the bowl or tank cracks, the whole unit should be replaced. Replacing an old toilet with a water-saving one can minimize your water bills.
Garbage Disposal Fixture Replacement
Most garbage disposals last around 10 years and require proper maintenance. If you have an older disposal that is often clogged or leaking, you should receive a plumbing fixture replacement. A garbage disposal that leaks from the bottom is rarely fixable, and it’s virtually always more affordable to replace a leaking unit.
Water Heater Replacement Services
Depending on the type of water heater you have, they usually last around 12 years on average. However, that lifespan can be extended with regular maintenance. Contact B&D Plumbing, Inc., for a plumbing inspection if your water heater is experiencing problems such as leaks or insufficient hot water. If the tank rusts or leaks, it will most likely require a replacement of plumbing fixtures.
Plumbing Pipes
Sometimes, a single pipe might need a replacement; other times, an entire plumbing system must be repiped and gutted. There is a good chance you need repairs or a complete repiping if you spot the following problems in your home:
- Old age – If your home’s pipes are 50+ years old, B&D Plumbing, Inc. can inspect them. Homes built with galvanized steel piping are most likely to corrode and rust.
- Leaking – Minor leaks must be dealt with immediately because it’s never normal for pipes to leak.
- Corrosion—Your pipes are corroding if you can see discoloration, stains, slight indentations, flaking, or rust on exposed pipes. Replacements are typically the only way to correct the problem when corrosion occurs.
- Water Discoloration—If the water coming out of your taps has a reddish, brownish, or yellowish tint, that is a sign that sediment or rust has built up inside your pipes.
- Low Water Pressure – This occurs due to corrosion and sediment buildup, leading to a possible burst pipe.
