Field-tested guidance for desert plumbing — from the crew that works on it every day.
Written by the crew that works on these houses every day — hard water, water heaters that quit on schedule, hidden leaks and monsoon-season drains.
Usually it’s not the sewer line. How to tell a dry drain trap from a dirty drain, a failed wax ring or a vent leak, why the smell gets worse at night, and when it’s time to call.
Tankless suits some North Valley homes and not others. Whether your household needs it, whether your gas, venting and electrical can support it, and what 15–20+ grain water does to one — plus the $300 Navien rebate running until November 30.
Weak showers, slow faucets or pressure that drops when another fixture runs? How to tell a clogged aerator from a failing pressure regulator or a hidden leak, run a safe gauge test, and know when to call a plumber.
A room-by-room routine for North Valley homes: the main shutoff, sinks and toilets, appliance hoses, the water heater, treatment equipment, drains and irrigation, plus what to sort out before you leave town.
A bill that jumps usually means one of two things: the house used more water, or water is going somewhere it shouldn’t. How to run the water-meter test, isolate irrigation, pool and softener, and know when it’s time to call.
Our supply runs 15–20+ grains per gallon. Here’s the honest accounting of what that does to your water heater, fixtures and appliances — and the difference between a softener, a conditioner and a filter.
Designed for 12–15 years. In our water, usually 8–12. What closes that gap, how to read the warning signs early, and the repair-or-replace framework our plumbers actually use.
One cell can put a season of grit into your yard drains in twenty minutes. What to check before the next storm, and what a backup afterwards is actually telling you.
