Issue Description
We received a call from a client regarding a house remodel, specifically addressing issues with rusted galvanized pipes causing low water pressure.
Actions Taken
- Initial Assessment:
- Upon assessment, we identified that the existing galvanized pipes were severely rusted, leading to reduced water pressure.
- We recommended a full re-pipe of the house using high-quality PEX piping to ensure consistent and reliable water pressure.
- Re-Piping Execution:
- We replaced all the old, rusted galvanized pipes with new PEX piping.
- The new pipes were secured with specialist straps and safety plates to ensure proper installation and safety within the walls.
- Post-Installation Testing:
- After completing the re-piping, we ran water through the new system to test its functionality.
- We conducted a thorough check to confirm that there were no leaks in the newly installed piping system.
Result
The re-piping of the house was successfully completed using PEX piping, which resolved the issues of low water pressure. The new system was tested to ensure it was leak-free and functioning properly. The client was satisfied with the improved water pressure and the quality of the installation.
