Plumbing Systems & Installation

Install The Right Plumbing System for Your Home. Not all systems are the same!

RESIDENTIAL & COMMERCIAL PLUMBING INSTALLATION

Plumbing is a crucial system in any home or office and is responsible for delivering clean water and removing waste. When building or remodeling a home here in Colorado, choosing the right plumbing system is crucial. You want to ensure that it functions efficiently and effectively for years to come.

Key factors to consider when selecting the right plumbing system for your home in the Centennial State:

Water Pressure and Flow Rate

The water pressure and flow rate in your home are essential factors to consider when choosing a plumbing system. These factors are determined by the size of the pipes and the amount of water that can flow through them. A larger pipe diameter can increase water flow, while a smaller diameter can cause lower water pressure. Consider the number of people in your home and the number of fixtures that will require water to determine the right pipe size and flow rate.

Type of Pipes

There are several types of pipes available for plumbing systems. There is copper, PVC, and PEX.

Copper piping is a popular choice for plumbing systems due to its long-lasting durability and resistance to corrosion, heat, and pressure. Copper pipes can withstand extreme temperatures, making them suitable for both hot and cold water distribution. Additionally, copper pipes are easy to install and maintain, making them a cost-effective option for homeowners and commercial properties alike.

PVC piping is a budget-friendly option for plumbing systems that is easy to install and maintain. Unlike copper, PVC pipes do not corrode or rust, making them ideal for use in areas with high moisture levels. Additionally, PVC pipes are lightweight and durable, and they can withstand high water pressure. However, PVC pipes are not suitable for use with hot water, as they can melt or warp at high temperatures.

PEX piping is a newer material that is flexible and resistant to freezing, making it ideal for use in cold climates like our beautiful Colorado Rockies. PEX pipes can be easily installed using a variety of methods, including crimping, clamping, and compression fittings. Additionally, PEX pipes do not require soldering, making them a safer and more environmentally friendly option than copper. However, PEX pipes can be more expensive than other materials, and they may not be suitable for use in areas with high temperatures.

Water Heaters

A water heater is a critical component of any plumbing system, responsible for heating the water used throughout your home. When selecting a water heater, consider the size of your home and the number of people living in it to determine the appropriate size. You can choose between a traditional tank-style water heater or a tankless water heater, which can be more energy-efficient and save money on utility bills in the long run.

Budget

Budget is a crucial factor when selecting a plumbing system for your home. Plumbing installation can be costly, so it’s essential to consider your budget when selecting the type of pipes, fixtures, and water heater for your home. While it may be tempting to choose the cheapest options, it’s important to invest in high-quality materials and professional installation to ensure that your plumbing system functions efficiently and effectively for years to come.
