PLUMBING
INSTALLATION
All plumbing
systems repaired or installed shall conform to all applicable
plumbing and building codes. Permits are filed whenever necessary
according to local authority. In most cases, the materials
used are the same type or design as the materials used during
original construction of the system.
In some cases,
upgrading the plumbing system is the only option. For example,
polybutylene systems are no longer authorized to be installed.
Copper is the normal upgrade to this system, but recently,
a new tubing called polyethylene or Pex has been authorized.
Sometimes,
out-of-date parts found within old plumbing systems must be
replaced with up-to-date parts of like kind and function.
The plumbers
of Master Plumbing and Leak Detection probably know more about
the plumbing system that was originally installed than the
company that installed it. Not only can we install the exact
same system as was done in the past, but we know how it fails,
where it typically fails, and why. Yes, repairing that old
system is a specialty of ours as well. We've been called upon
quite a lot to repair homes built as far back as the early
1900s.
