What are the pros and cons of hiring a master plumber?

• <div><p>The only downsides to hiring a master plumber is that they charge a higher hourly rate than a less experienced plumber. Plus, master plumbers likely have less availability, given the demand for highly experienced professionals. The benefits far outweigh the cons, though. Upsides include the following:</p><ul><li><p>More professional repair</p></li><li><p>More experience fixing your specific issue</p></li><li><p>Recourse if something goes wrong</p></li><li><p>Warranty for the work (in some cases)</p></li><li><p>Some insulation from lawsuits if the plumber gets injured on your property</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Should I turn water off to prevent pipes from freezing?

• <div><p>Under normal circumstances, you don&rsquo;t need to turn interior water off if it&rsquo;s cold outside. But if you plan to be away during cold weather for more than a day, turning off the water can help prevent freezing and burst pipes. If you lose heat, turning off the water can help to keep pipes from freezing as well. You should turn off exterior pipes for sprinklers or outdoor irrigation for the season once temperatures begin to fall in the late fall and early winter.</p></div>

Q: What is the average life of plumbing?

• <div><p>The average life of your plumbing depends on what material your plumbing is made of. CPVC piping lasts 50 to 70 years, brass, iron, or steel last 50 to 70 years, and copper lasts 50 to 100 years. The longest-lasting piping is PEX, which can hold up for 80 to 100 years.</p><p>Regardless of the pipe type, proper maintenance is the best way to ensure a long life span.</p></div>

Q: What costs are typically associated with installing plumbing in a remodel?

• <div><p>Plumbing installation costs in renovations typically range from $300 to $1,500 or more, depending on the complexity and specifics of the project.</p></div>

Q: Why is my sink leaking in cold weather?

• <div><p>If your sink is on an exterior wall that isn&rsquo;t insulated, or if pipes travel through a cabinet against an exterior wall that prevents heated air from circulating around the pipes, the pipes can freeze, causing them to burst. The best way to avoid leaking sinks is to insulate the pipes and open cabinets in the short term to warm the water line up and prevent freezing.</p></div>

These people are scammers. Quoted $55k to replace the pipes in the house and insurance declined. Then quoted $18k to locate leak and repair by tearing up floors and walls. Insurance approved $12k and we were on the hook for $6k. They came out to detect the areas for the leak. The day they came...

They were prompt. Informative. Did what they came to do and in a businesslike manner. The installed product looks good and while it hasn't been used a whole lot, yet, due to weather conditions being pretty nice right now, seems to work very nicely.
