When doing any plumbing projects, you may want to consider other
services as part of your installation. Here are some plumbing
ideas to think about: Insulating pipes is a good option for
colder climates because ice can cause pipes to freeze and burst.
Freeze protection is a mechanical feature on exterior garden
faucets. Instead of the shut-off valve being on the outside
of the house, it's set several inches inside the house. This
protects the pipes from freezing. Another suggestion is an insulating
water heater, which is a cover for your hot water heater and
keeps heat loss to a minimum. A circulating hot water pump is
a smart option for larger homes where faucets are a long distance
from the heater. It gives a boost to the hot water flow, allowing
hot water to arrive at the tap faster.
If
a water pipe were to break in you home, the homeowner should
know where the main water shut-off is located so they can turn
the water off at that point. Normally this is located outside
the home in the front or rear of the house where there is a
hose bib connection. If a homeowner cannot find it because it
is not exposed and accessible, we suggest calling the local
water department (you find that phone number on the water bill
statement). In the case where the water leak is at a specific
plumbing fixture, the best approach is to shut off the water
immediately at that location. All plumbing fixtures, including
toilets, sinks and basins, have shut-off valves located under
the fixture against the wall. If a bathtub or shower is leaking,
it is necessary to shut the water off at the main water shut-off
and call your professional plumber.
A leaking water heater can be shut off at the top right pipe
leading into the water heater. For safety reasons, the gas must
also be shut off at the water heater; that valve is usually
found on the gas piping at the lower left side of the water
heater.
