What we see here

Common Alamo Farmsteads plumbing problems

Water heaters that are due

Many homes here are on their second or third water heater, often in the garage. A tank older than about ten years, rust at the base, or popping noises are the usual signs. We will tell you plainly whether a repair is worth it.

Trees and sewer lines

Mature trees make these streets shady and green. Their roots also work their way into sewer joints. If the lowest drain in the house is the first to back up, the main line is the suspect.

Supply pipe worth checking

Depending on when your home was built, it could have copper, CPVC, or gray polybutylene supply lines. Polybutylene was used in many homes from the late 1970s to the mid 1990s and is known to fail. We can tell you what you have in a few minutes.

Questions

Alamo Farmsteads plumbing FAQ

How fast can you get to Alamo Farmsteads?

It is in our own ZIP code, so usually quickly. Call and we will give you a real arrival time.

Should I replace my water heater or repair it?

If the tank itself is leaking or it is past about ten years old, replacement is usually the better money. If it is a part like a thermostat or element, a repair often makes sense. We test before we recommend.

How do I know if I have polybutylene pipe?

It is usually gray plastic pipe, often stamped PB. We can check at the water heater or under a sink.

A leak costs more every hour it runs.

Shut the supply off if you can reach the valve, then call. We answer 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
