Water Lines

Water lines supply fresh water to various fixtures in your home, including sinks, showers, toilets, and appliances like dishwashers and washing machines.


 Installation


- Material Options: Common materials for water lines include copper, PEX (cross-linked polyethylene), and PVC (polyvinyl chloride). The choice depends on factors like local codes, budget, and personal preference.


- Routing: Water lines are typically routed from the main supply line into the home, with branch lines connecting to individual fixtures.


- Pressure Regulation: A pressure regulator may be installed to ensure the water pressure is safe for household plumbing.


 Maintenance


- Regular Inspections: Check for leaks, corrosion, and signs of wear.

- Water Quality Testing: Periodically test for contaminants or hardness to ensure safe drinking water.

- Winterization: In colder climates, properly insulate pipes to prevent freezing.


Common Issues



- Leaking Pipes: Can cause water damage and increase bills.

- Clogs: Build-up of debris can obstruct water flow.

- Corrosion: Older metal pipes may corrode over time, leading to leaks
