Customers say: True professional

"My family and I absolutely LOVE our new shower. Joe and his team did a tremendous job and we highly recommend them. They were professional, knowledgeable, hardworking, and courteous from beginning to end. The cost was reasonable and as quoted, even though they had to do some additional work along the way due to our old home/plumbing system. They explained everything in detail and made sure we were satisfied every step of the way. The finished product is beautiful and we could not be happier!"

"Danny, from HL Bowman, quickly understood the scope of the installation and used his expertise to make the installation seamless. As a result, the filtration system he installed is now operating perfectly to remove particulates greater the 5 microns from our well water. I would highly recommend HL Bowman for your plumbing needs. "

"The installers showed up when arranged to replace our worn out tub with a walk-in shower. Techs had a plumbing issue they could not fix, lead tech Cody was on the phone getting a master plumber to fix the problem. Tech's Cody and Tracy worked well together like clockwork. Finished in one day even with the plumbing problem . Shower looks awesome."

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

Reading's cold winters increase the risk of frozen or burst pipes, making pipe insulation and proper placement essential. Heavy spring rains can stress sump pumps and lead to basement flooding, so regular sump pump maintenance is crucial. Seasonal temperature swings may also cause older pipes to expand and contract, potentially leading to leaks. Planning for these local weather patterns helps extend the life of your plumbing system.

Helpful?

In Reading, hidden costs often stem from discovering old lead or galvanized pipes that require replacement to meet current code, as enforced by the Reading Building and Trades Division. Additional expenses may arise if water damage or mold is found during repairs, or if temporary water shutoffs are necessary. For older homes, restoring disturbed walls or floors after plumbing work is another common, unexpected step to consider.

Helpful?

In Reading, permits are required for most plumbing work, including new installations, major repairs, and water heater replacements. The Reading Building and Trades Division oversees permitting and inspections, which typically include rough-in and final inspections to ensure compliance with local plumbing code. For historic or older homes, additional steps may be needed. Always verify requirements directly with the Reading Building and Trades Division before beginning any project.

Helpful?

For plumbing projects in Reading, freeze-resistant materials like PEX piping are highly recommended due to the region's cold winters. Copper is also common, especially in older homes, but PEX offers flexibility and durability against freezing. Local plumbing supply stores in Reading can advise on materials that handle the city's unique soil conditions and moisture levels, ensuring your plumbing system is well-suited for the area's environment.

Helpful?

A chipped bathtub could leak over time if you don’t take care of the issue. A tiny chip isn’t a big deal but may eventually grow into a larger crack. As the months go by, the tub’s barrier against moisture becomes weakened, making it prone to leaking. Large chips can also cause the tub to rust and even crack in half.
