When did plumbers stop using copper pipes?

• <div><p>For a long time, copper was our only plumbing material option. Thankfully, that is no longer the case. Copper pipes have been used since the 1940s and became most popular around 1963. It wasn’t until the 1990s that PVC pipes became popular and began to replace copper pipes. Therefore, a house built before the 1990s without recent updates will likely contain more copper pipes. </p></div>

Q: Can PEX pipe be used underground?

• <div><p>You can use PEX pipe underground, and it will hold up well in underground insulations. Keep in mind that PEX tubing is not rated for outdoor use and that insulation is necessary in regions that experience cold winters. When using it underground, you should also bury PEX piping at least 12 inches below the frost line. </p></div>

Q: What is the difference between flushing and draining a hot water heater?

• <div><p>Draining is the process of removing sediment buildup that has accumulated at the bottom of your hot water heater&rsquo;s tank. Flushing is a more elaborate process that involves running fresh water through the tank to clean the inside thoroughly. You should at least drain your hot water heater once per year and flush it every other year&mdash;better yet, alternate between draining and flushing every six months.</p></div>

Q: Should I drain my pipes to keep them from freezing?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s a good idea to drain your pipes to prevent them from freezing if you&rsquo;re expecting extremely cold temperatures or planning to be away from your home for an extended period of time during the winter. You may be able to avoid draining your pipes if you insulate outdoor pipes and keep your home heated to a minimum temperature of 55 degrees. </p></div>

Q: Should I hire a local or national emergency plumber?

• <div><p>National emergency plumbers usually have greater availability to address emergencies because they have more professionals at their disposal, but local plumbers may be located closer to your home and can arrive faster. We recommend contacting one or two local plumbers first to see how quickly they can arrive. Move ahead with the service if it&rsquo;s within a reasonable time frame. If not, contact a national company to see if they can get out more quickly. National companies sometimes outsource work to third parties, which can often mean faster response times.</p></div>
