- Painting and Finalization
Trees That Damage Your Piping
When choosing trees for your yard, it is important to consider your pipes and what could potentially happen to them. You should consider choosing a tree that is slow growing and less likely to puncture your pipes.
Willows, Maple, Oak, Aspen, Birch, and Elm trees cause the most damage to underground plumbing pipes. However, trees that do not pose threats to your pipes are fruit trees, cypresses, cedars, palmettos, and magnolias.
It is important to get your trees and schedule pipe inspections often. Pipe Inspections can save your money before you incur thousands of dollars in damage from Mother Nature. If you are buying a home and wondering about tree types and placement, consider these lists before making big decisions.

Copper Repipe
If you own a home that still has galvanized pipes, you need to contact a repipe specialist as soon as possible. Replacing your galvanized piping will benefit you in more ways than one.
Improve Property Value. New piping will dramatically increase your home investment. Homes on the market with galvanized piping are very hard to sell.
Better Tasting Water. Corrosion in galvanized pipes can cause metallic tasting water from lead, zinc, and iron build-up.
Water Heater Preservation. Due to the corroded water discussed above, your water heater may be affected. This water could be damaging the inside of your water heater.
Water Multi-Use. Ever took a shower and someone flush a toilet causing an icy splash. Replacing your old pipes with a copper repipe will put a stop to the discomfort.
Copper piping is a cost effective option for replacing galvanized piping, providing resistance to corrosion as well as leak-proof joints.
Copper piping is a popular option because it is eco friendly and recyclable.
Copper lasts twice as long as PEX piping and is also used outside because it is weather resistant.
Copper is one of the most popular and dependable options for replacing your plumbing. If your pipes are 40 years or older, it is time to consider repiping. For more information or to have your home plumbing system replaced with a whole home copper repipe, call (866) 262-1815.
