Emergency Water Leak in Pasadena CA What Now?

So your going about life, enjoying your weekend, family, a nice weekend meal! Then Murphy's annoying little Laws rears their nasty head, you go into your basement and there's water everywhere! S**T! This was the rude surprise for a customer in Pasadena CA. So this customer's next step was to contact his "Local Pasadena Plumber! Care One Plumbing. We arrived onsite to determine what needed mending, luckily for our customer it wasn't to bad of a situation. So Care One Plumbers, drained down the 2 story home, luckily customer had a sump pump in his basement to aid in draining the complete home. As we were going about the repair, we noticed the water heater shut off was hanging by a thread. So we advised the Pasadena homeowner now was the time to swap that valve out and save some money versus coming back at some later date and doing this all over again......he agreed! So after all was said and done, this Pasadena Homeowner was contemplating the future.

He stated that he had grown tired of the stress of having multiple leaks in his 100 year old home! mind you this home had been copper re-piped some 35ish years prior. And the copper was starting to pinhole from excessive wear. This home has a hot water re-circulating pump system, if not set up correctly this will age your plumbing faster than anything. But after 35ish years this copper water piping has held up pretty well, but time is catching up to it.

So, when is enough......enough? that is a decision that has many factors. Primarily what is the water system? copper? what grade copper? builder's grade installation? water quality? how many leaks have you had? how much secondary damage? galvanized pipe (your way past time to replace)? what is your timeline for the home (forever vs. flip)? what is your financial situation? All these important questions are critical in making the right decision for your situation and tolerance for pain.

While copper or PEX re-piping your home isn't sexy! well unless.......a hot shower, flushing a toilet, etc etc is something you don't consider sexy? Me........I think it's pretty sexy not waking up to water/damage everywhere and then a Hot Shower to start the day. But I'm weird that way!

Sometimes the unforeseen cost and hassle of a copper/PEX re-pipe, is worth the piece of mind! A budgeted expense that in some instances can be financed. Care One Plumbers will come into your home and first and foremost protect your home from damage and to minimize a huge mess! We tarp and plastic with detail, cause no matter how could the work inside the walls is!.......leaving a giant mess for Mr. or Mrs Homeowner will leave a bad taste long after were gone! So once the work areas are protected, we make all the required openings in the home interior or exterior. We will then remove the accessible old pipe and dispose of properly, we will then begin to install your chosen system copper or PEX. This work can in many instances be completed in a day for the piping installation, and the patching another day. So once the system has been installed and stringently tested, we have our patching crew come out to the home and tard and plastic the work areas. Care One Plumbing patching crew will close all openings we created, and this includes matching textures very well. This is another aspect where the battle is won and lost! same as the protecting of the work areas.....nobody wants to see lousy patching all over their home!!! and you will not! with Care One Plumbing.
