Cerritos Plumbing Companies Handle All Water Leak Problems

By Lawrence Gayoso


There are very few homes in America that do not have indoor water systems. They are connected to a public water supply system, which includes a public drainage system. Others are connected to a well and have a sealed drainage tank. Regardless of what kind of system is involved when something goes wrong it requires the assistance of a professional plumber such as found at Cerritos plumbing companies.

To become a plumber a person must be willing to undergo several years of training. Under an apprenticeship program they engage in rigid classroom and on-the-job training. Tests must be passed at each step of the way to prove what they have learned and to eventually receive a license. Throughout their career, they are required to keep abreast of all the latest regulations and equipment in order to renew that license.

As a result, when a plumber comes to your home or business you can be assured you have a professional who is an expert in the field. They can immediately determine what the problem is and usually have it fixed in a matter of minutes. This allows you to go about your business with a minimum of delay.

Lead pipe was the material of choice in the old days and leached lead into the drinking water. Cast iron and clay were also used which broke easily or corroded. Other types used were copper or bronze. Modern water systems use plastic pipe almost exclusively.

In addition to being environmentally friendly, plastic pipe has been found to be durable, versatile, and less expensive to install than other types. They can be installed almost joint-free, which eliminates leaks, and are easy to maintain. Tests have shown that plastic has a life of 25 to 100 years, therefore outperforming copper and other materials.

The types of plastic pipe available are PVC, CPVC, ABS, and PolyEthylene (PE), each of which fulfills specific needs. PVC and CPVC is the most popular brands used. PVC is rigid with thread or a solvent weld (glue) used to fasten the pieces together. It can also be joined by heat. CPVC can be used to transport hot water while PVC is for cold water only. ABS is a rigid, black plastic that is used for drain lines.

When installation plan requires going around corners PolyEthylene (PE) pipe is used. In addition to being very flexible, it eliminates any need for fittings. Often used in geothermal heating supply lines with sprinkler systems, it is joined together with heat fusing, barb fittings, or clamp rings. It is translucent and has a frosted appearance.
