Our Core Remolding or New Construction Services
Whether building from the ground up or updating an older layout, your plumbing dictates your home’s safety and comfort. Our Core remodeling service may require connecting new lines to old, existing pipes.
Water Pipes: The first important component of new construction plumbing is installing water supply pipelines. These are pipelines specifically built to bring in fresh potable water from an external water source.
Drain Pipes: Drain pipes are another essential component in almost all plumbing construction projects. These pipelines, which are often much larger than water supply pipes, transport wastewater to an external location.
These pipes connect to common amenities such as sinks, showers, and toilets before exiting the facility to the city sewer system or a private septic system.
Water Heater Installations: Another common component in new-construction plumbing is a water heater installation. New-construction plumbers install them and connect them to the water supply piping so that hot water is available at fixtures such as sinks and showers.
Water heaters are frequently installed in a pan connected to a drain. This method is done so that if the water heater leaks, the resulting water will be captured in the pan and carried away through the drain pipe.
Fixture Installations: Plumbing fixtures are often the last components installed in new-construction plumbing. At this moment, we install sinks, toilets, faucets, bathtubs, and showers in a bathroom.
This work is typically done in the last stages of a building’s construction, and is considered the finishing touch to any new construction plumbing project
Common Residential Plumbing Issues
Homeowners frequently battle a few common plumbing headaches. These issues often cause high utility bills, water damage, and wasted resources.
The Most Common Plumbing Headaches:
Leaky Faucets: A dripping faucet usually means the small rubber seal (called a washer) inside the handle is worn out. This worn-out seal lets water sneak past. You can fix it easily by turning off the water, unscrewing the handle, and replacing the rubber part.
Running Toilets: A running toilet keeps filling with water after it is flushed. This wastes a lot of water. It is usually caused by a bad “flapper”—the rubber stopper at the bottom of the tank. When the flapper gets old, it no longer seals tightly. Water leaks from the tank into the toilet bowl. You can replace the flapper for a few dollars.
Slow or Clogged Drains: A clogged drain occurs when debris gets stuck in the pipes. In the bathroom, this is often hair and soap scum. In the kitchen, there is usually grease and food scraps. Water drains slowly or backs up. You can clean a clog using a simple sink plunger or a long, flexible tool called a drain snake.
Hidden Pipe Leaks: A hidden pipe leak can be very destructive. Pipes can leak due to high water pressure, rust, or weak joints. You might notice bubbling paint on a wall or a very high water bill. To find hidden leaks, check your water meter when no water is running. If the meter dials are still moving, you leak.
Water Heater Issues:
Water heater leaks can cause significant damage, especially if the entire tank contents empty. A leaking water heater is one of the most urgent plumbing issues a homeowner can face. Depending on the source and severity, it could signal a minor, fixable issue or a catastrophic failure.
Critical First Steps
Before you do anything else, you need to make the area safe:
- Cut the Power: For electric water heaters, shut off the dedicated circuit breaker in your electrical panel. For gas units, turn the gas control knob to the “OFF” or “PILOT” position.
- Stop the Water Flow: Locate the cold-water shut-off valve on the pipe entering the top of the heater, then turn it clockwise. If you cannot access this valve or if the leak is severe, shut off your home’s main water supply
Low Water Pressure: Low water pressure is often caused by a leak in the pipeline or a damaged water pump. These issues can be very serious and require professional-grade tools to fix them. It’s best to have an expert look at your water line right away to get your water pressure back up to normal.
Sewer Line Backups: If your sewer line is backing up, you’ll know right away by the smell and, potentially, by backflow in toilets. If using a plunger to clear the toilet doesn’t work, or if the issues recur frequently, a plumber can help. An expert will have the right tools and training to clear out any major sewer line blockage.
Sump Pump Failure: A failing sump pump can be a major headache, especially when you need to get water out of your basement or crawl space right away. Make sure the unit is powered up and that the water level is above the pump line. If issues persist, a plumber can perform a repair or replacement.
If you ignore these problems, they can lead to mold, water damage, or burst pipes
How to Extend the Lifespan of Your Home’s Plumbing System
Your plumbing system works hard every day, and with the proper care, it can serve you reliably for decades. Regular maintenance not only prevents costly repairs but also improves efficiency and water quality. By following a few simple practices, you can protect your home and keep your plumbing in top condition for years to come.
Key Maintenance Strategies
Control Water Pressure
High water pressure is a silent killer for pipes. It strains joints and fixtures over time.
- Most homes should stay between 40 psi and 60 psi.
- Regularly check your pressure using a cheap hose bib gauge attached to an outdoor spigot.
- If your pressure is consistently above 80 psi, hire a plumber to install or adjust a Pressure Regulating Valve (PRV).
Service Your Water Heater
A standard water heater lasts 8 to 12 years, while tankless models can last 20 years. Routine care keeps them running efficiently:
- Flush the Tank: Attach a garden hose to the drain valve at the bottom of the tank. Drain about 5 gallons into a bucket until the water runs clear. This removes damaging sediment that would otherwise force the system to work harder.
- Check the Anode Rod: This is a metal rod that hangs inside the tank and attracts corrosive elements, preventing the tank itself from rusting. Inspect and replace it every 3 years.
Protect Against Hard Water
Hard water contains high levels of calcium and magnesium, which build up as scale and corrode pipes over time.
- Consider installing a whole-house water softener to neutralize these minerals and protect your system.
- Clean your faucet aerators (the small screens at the tips of faucets) and showerheads every six months by soaking them in white vinegar to dissolve mineral clogs.

Drain and Toilet Care
Watch What You Flush and Pour
Your pipes are designed to handle only water, human waste, and toilet paper.
- Never flush “flushable” wipes, feminine hygiene products, or paper towels, as these do not break down and cause major blockages.
- Never pour cooking grease or oil down the kitchen drain. Grease solidifies inside the pipes and catches other debris over time.
- Use mesh drain screens in your bathroom and kitchen to catch hair and food scraps before they enter the system.
Beware of Chemical Drain Cleaners
Chemical drain cleaners create intense heat and use harsh acids to dissolve clogs. Over time, these chemicals break down the glue in PVC pipes and corrode metal pipes, leading to leaks. Instead, use a plunger or a mechanical plumber’s snake to clear slow drains.
Schedule Annual Professional Inspections
Professional plumbers have specialized tools, such as sewer cameras, to inspect your main lines and identify developing issues. Having a professional inspect your system once a year catches slow leaks, early corrosion, and hidden root blockages before they cause catastrophic property damage.
