You have probably encountered this before: you come back home after a vacation of one to two weeks. You turn on the faucet in the bathroom or the kitchen, and the first water to flow out is reddish-brown. Nothing to worry about, it will go away in less than a minute as the dry pipes clear out residue.
But what if water discoloration starts at a different time? One day you turn on your faucet, and the water that comes out is rusty-red, green, or even black. It might be harmless, but it also could be a warning sign of problems in the plumbing system or even a health hazard. We recommend you call us for plumbing service in Sun City, AZ, to see what’s wrong, and what we can do about it. (more…)

You may think of plumbers as only working on the pipes that carry freshwater or wastewater around a house, as well as the appliances and drains connected to those pipes. But plumbers can take on jobs with another type of piping in a house—the pipes carrying natural gas to appliances such as the heating system, the oven, the stove, or even the laundry machine.
Corrosion is one of the worst enemies a home’s plumbing system can face. The word corrosion comes from the Latin word “to chew,” and it’s appropriate. Corrosion chews into the metal of pipes and eats it away. The metal weakens to the point where leaks begin, breaks occur, and eventually, the pipes fail completely. Corrosion in freshwater pipes can also lead to toxins entering the water.
When it comes to DIY, kitchen renovations are up there as one of the most popular projects. And we can understand why. Your kitchen is possibly decades behind in the trends, and you’re sick and tired of looking at it. It’s hard work, and you’ll need to learn a lot along the way, but few things will beat the satisfaction you’ll feel when it’s finally done.
Few plumbing issues in the home are as daunting as a leak or a clog in your main sewer line or water line: the pipes that bring potable water in from the Sun City civic system and remove wastewater from your home via the drains. They’re usually buried underground, which affords them some protection from the elements. But that makes them very hard to reach in the event they spring a leak or develop a clog. 
It can be pretty difficult to tell if your plumbing system is in good condition at any given time. Most people prefer not to think about their plumbing system at all, provided it continues to work for them the way it always does. Out of sight, out of mind is not the best way to deal with plumbing issues, though. Sooner or later, your plumbing system is likely to develop a problem of some sort. When that happens, it’s important that you be able to address it quickly so that you can prevent most of the damage. Have a look at these warning signs that your plumbing system is in need of repairs. 
When most people think of plumbing, they imagine kitchen sinks and showers and the appliances that they make use of every day. Those are not the only important parts of your plumbing system, though. There are many different parts that contribute to a residential plumbing system running smoothly, some of which are more vital than others. There are also many optional upgrades, though, that can help quite a bit in various ways. If you’re looking for a way to improve your plumbing system’s function, consider installing these upgrades. 
Pipeline inspection is a vital part of keeping your drain and sewer system in good condition. Most of the issues that occur in those pipes are pretty subtle to begin with, and it’s not like you frequently examine them closely. If you want to make sure that you aren’t surprised with a clog or massive leak, it’s a good idea to have the system checked at least once a year. Let’s take a look at some of the different camera techniques used in video pipeline inspection.
