Understanding PEX Piping vs. Copper Piping
Which is better for your home?
PEX piping is flexible and resists freezing better than copper piping. It is often used in new construction and repiping projects. Copper piping is durable and has a long history in plumbing.
Both materials have pros and cons. PEX costs less and installs faster. Copper lasts longer in some conditions. Our team can help you choose the right option for your Bird In Hand home.
How a Tankless Water Heater Saves Energy
Tankless vs. traditional water heaters
A tankless water heater heats water on demand, not in a storage tank. This can reduce energy use by up to 30% compared to a standard unit. It also provides endless hot water.
Installation requires proper sizing and gas or electric connections. We handle tankless water heater installation and repairs. Call us for a plumber cost estimate.
Garbage Disposal Maintenance Tips
Keep your disposal running
Run cold water while using the garbage disposal. Avoid putting grease, bones, or fibrous foods down the drain. This prevents clogs and extends the life of the unit.
If your disposal jams, turn it off and use a hex key to free it. For stubborn issues, call a plumber in Bird In Hand PA. We can repair or replace garbage disposals.
Hydro-Jetting for Drain Cleaning
What is hydro-jetting?
Hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water to blast away grease, soap scum, and tree roots from pipes. It is more effective than a drain snake for tough blockages. We use it for residential and commercial drain cleaning.
This method is safe for PVC pipe and copper piping when done correctly. Our team assesses the line first with a camera. Contact us for hydro-jetting service.
