Protective Plumbing Device Installations
There is a lot more to maintenance than your regular routine inspections and minor repairs. When hiring Mr. Rooter’s professional plumbers, Woodway, TX residential and commercial property owners can rely on us to go the extra mile to make the necessary recommendations to further protect your pipes from natural disasters and minimize the potential of other risks.
Sump Pump Services
If your property has a lower level but you have not got a sump pump installation, we highly recommend that you get one. Not only does this device keep your home dry, but it also backs your French drains during heavy rains by pumping excess water away from your foundation.
Sump pumps require regular maintenance such as float switch and discharge pipe inspection. But the efforts will be worth it because the benefits include:
- Flood prevention
- Minimizes risks of electrical fires
- Reduces humidity levels in lower level and improves air quality
- Backs up your backwater valve
Backwater Valve
A backwater valve is also known as a sewer backup valve which is designed to stop raw sewage from overflowing your house during a sewer line backup. It’s hard to say when these incidents happen. Even if you treat your household drains and sewer system well, it could still happen that the city sewers become overwhelmed with stormwater and start pushing wastewater back into your private sewer lateral.
A backwater valve is a protective flap that your Woodway plumber installs onto your sewer pipe. When it senses a forthcoming backup, it will automatically close and stop wastewater from entering your home. This way, you can control floods and won’t be affected by city sewer problems.
Water Softener
The state of Texas deals with moderately to extremely hard water levels that affect household supply lines and drain lines. While you’re already dealing with sludge buildup caused by soap scum, toothpaste, FOG, and food particles, calcium and magnesium deposits make it all worse. Your water lines that supply you with clean water bring along mineral deposits that can clog your copper lines faster than expected. A water softening system will remove hard minerals via an ion exchange. As a result, you’ll have sodium and potassium ions making your water smoother and taste better. If you have sensitive skin, you’ll have a better showering experience. Furthermore, your pipes’ interior won’t be dealing with clogs caused by deposits.
Important
Before you opt for a water softener, we recommend that you consult your physicians first, in case you are sensitive to sodium. However, if you merely seek for a better showering experience, your local Woodway plumber could install it only in your shower head. Feel free to contact us about options!
