Water Leaks? Leaky Faucets?
Water leaks can be a real challenge to fix especially with deteriorating pipes. Fortunately, our plumbing trucks are stocked with parts to repair both traditional metal pipes as well as today's high tech plastics.
Leaky faucets are a common issue that can lead to wasted water and high water bills. Other problems include loose handles, low water pressure, and difficulty with temperature control.
While some minor faucet repairs can be tackled by homeowners, more complex issues like those involving water pressure or intricate faucet designs may require a professional plumber.
If you are dealing with a persistent leak, low water pressure, or a faucet that is difficult to operate, it's best to call a professional plumber.
When replacing a faucet, consider brands like Kohler, Delta, or Moen. With these brands you can rest assured that replacement parts will be easy to find for many years.
Affordable Plumbing Tucson can diagnose the problem accurately, use the right tools and techniques, and ensure the repair is done correctly, potentially preventing future issues.
Need a Recirculation Pump?
A recirculating pump is a pump that circulates hot water through a plumbing system, ensuring hot water is readily available at the tap without waiting for it to travel from the water heater. This is achieved by continuously circulating hot water through the hot water pipes and back to the heater via a dedicated return line or the cold water line.
In a typical plumbing system, hot water sits in the pipes between the heater and the faucet. When you turn on the hot water tap, you have to wait for the cold water in the pipes to be flushed out before hot water arrives.
With a recirculating pump on the other hand, a pump continuously circulates hot water through the hot water pipes and back to the heater. This means that when you open a hot water tap, hot water is already close to the fixture and arrives quickly, reducing water waste and wait time. By eliminating the need to run the tap and wait for hot water, recirculating pumps can significantly reduce water consumption.
At Affordable Plumbing, we offer both builder installed replacement pumps as well as retrofit pumps. Call us today to discuss your options.
Pipe Inspections
Sometimes no matter how often you clean your drain pipes problems still persist.
Our sewer and small pipe cameras take the guesswork out of drain problems. Not only can we see the problem, but we can also pinpoint it's exact location underground should further repairs be necessary.
Hydro-jetting
Hydro-jetting is a drain cleaning technique that uses high pressure water (up to 4000 p.s.i) to clear clogged drains. It blasts away debris, grease, scale, and other blockages with a powerful stream of water.
Hydro-jetting is effective for removing stubborn clogs and cleaning the interior of pipes, preventing future backups. It uses a flexible hose with a special nozzle that is inserted into the drain or sewer line. The nozzle sprays the water in various directions, scouring the pipe walls and breaking up blockages.
Hydro-jetting is effective for removing a wide range of blockages including grease and tree roots. It also helps prevent future clogs by thoroughly cleaning the pipe interior. It is typically recommended for persistent clogs, slow-moving drains, and when traditional drain cleaning techniques like snaking do not work.
While effective, hydro jetting should only be performed by a trained professional due to the high pressure involved.
