Piping Services in Clovis, NM

Piping & Repiping Services

The pipe is the most basic part of any plumbing system. And there are lots of different types of piping, each of which has its own particular application, copper and PVC being two of the most popular. Everyone knows what a pipe is, but it’s difficult to over-estimate its importance in your daily life. Every time you take a shower, use the toilet, or wash the dishes you rely on a particular set of pipes that are designed to work within a large system of pressurized and non-pressurized pipes, valves, and fixtures.

Trusted Pipe Installation by Clovis Plumbing Professionals

There are plenty of different types of piping. But what’s most important about any new pipe installation is that it’s done correctly by a trained professional. It won’t matter how high quality the actual materials are if the connections are sloppy. Copper piping is the hard–pipe of choice, and it’s used widely in indoor applications. It has the benefit of sturdiness and reliability and it tends to last at least 50 years.

Many drainpipes are made out of PVC (polyvinyl chloride), because it’s much cheaper than copper, it carries only wastewater, and it lasts, well, indefinitely. One of the most recent additions to the plumber’s toolbox is PEX (cross–linked polyethylene), which is cost–effective, flexible, and cuts easily. There are plenty of other types, and those in your home may not match those widely used by today’s professionals. We can make sure your new pipes are appropriately sized and that they work well for years to come.

Signs That Your Piping Needs Repair

There are plenty of reasons to consider pipe repair, but most are quite obvious: visible cracks, dents, punctures, and holes, as well as loose connections, all of which can lead to leaking water and waste at various parts of your home. But there are other signs that are a bit more difficult to assess. For example, if you notice water stains but no evidence of water. Or if you notice that your water bill has suddenly spiked without a noticeable cause. Other pipe repair calls that we see are partial and total clogs, and low water pressure.

There are a few types of plumbing pipes that you may want to keep an eye out for: lead and polybutylene. For obvious reasons, lead piping was banned a long time ago, but you occasionally see it in very old homes, especially those whose plumbing system was not upgraded in its entirety.

Polybutylene pipes were used between the 1970s and 1990s, but were eventually banned because they are prone to breakage, which is not something you want to have happen in your basement or kitchen! If you suspect that your pipes are made out of an outdated or potentially hazardous material, then get in touch with our plumbers.
