What Do Plumbing Repairs Cover?
Plumbing repairs involve fixing issues with your home's water supply, drainage or connected fixtures. You may need plumbing repairs if:
- You have leaking pipes.
- Your sink or sewer drains are clogged.
- Your backflow preventers are malfunctioning.
- Your pipes are frozen.
- Your water shut off valves are faulty.
- Your sewer pipes are damaged.
- Your faucets are broken.
If you experience low water pressure, slow drains, unexplained high water bills or sewage smells, call a licensed plumbing company for repairs.
What Counts as Plumbing Remodel Work?
During a plumbing remodel, plumbers redesign, move and install water and drainage systems. Here is what you can expect from this service:
- Rerouting pipes: Plumbers reroute water supply lines and drain pipes to accommodate a new layout, such as moving a sink to a kitchen island or relocating a shower.
- Rough-in plumbing: During rough-in plumbing, contractors install venting stacks, run pipes and connect drain lines. This step comes before fixture installation.
- Upgrading materials: A plumbing remodel is the perfect opportunity to replace old, rusted or leaking metal pipes with modern plastic or copper pipes.
- Relocating or installing fixtures: If necessary, the team moves sinks, toilets, dishwashers or bathtubs to accommodate the layout. They may also add new fixtures, like water filtration systems or water heaters.
- Meeting code: Experienced plumbers make sure your updated plumbing complies with local building codes.
When Should You Hire a General Contractor?
Choose a general contractor for remodels that involve multiple tradespeople. They coordinate other professionals, including plumbers, electricians, builders and painters. You should also work with this type of contractor if your home improvement includes structural changes. Examples include moving walls, expanding the room or altering load-bearing elements.
How Do You Know If You Need a Plumbing Remodel?
Plumbing repairs can resolve smaller, isolated issues. When your plumbing infrastructure fails or requires layout changes, it calls for a remodel. Consider a plumbing remodel or upgrade when:
- Your home has crumbling galvanized steel or old cast-iron pipes nearing the end of their lifespan.
- Tap water comes out rusty, discolored or foul-smelling.
- Repairs fail to solve recurring leaks or low water pressure throughout the house.
- You want to move a shower, sink or toilet to a new spot during a bathroom overhaul.
