Clean, clear water for drinking, bathing, cooking, and washing clothes is one of the greatest comforts a home has to offer. You can thank your home’s potable water distribution system for making water easily accessible from every faucet in your home. But as the years pass, the pipes that make up your home’s potable water system may rust, develop pinholes, or rupture, leading to leaks and low water pressure throughout your home. If your home uses galvanized pipes to distribute water, you will notice rust spots and brown tinted water after about 15 years. And if your home uses PVC pipes, you may encounter a rupture, which tends to happen at connection points because PVC potable piping systems use joints that aren’t well suited to hold through years and years of being under pressure.

If you notice water spots on your ceiling and walls, brown-tinted water coming out of your faucets, or low water pressure in your home, you can call on John Moore for a solution that will restore your home’s potable piping system: a PEX repipe. John Moore began using PEX piping at the turn of the century because PEX is the most reliable piping system available today. It’s made from crosslinked polyethylene, which is a flexible, anti-corrosive material, so it won’t rust like galvanized pipes and won’t rupture like PVC. And when John Moore repipes your whole home with PEX piping, we give you a 25 year warranty on parts, and a 10 year warranty on labor.*

*Excludes acts of God (flood, lightning, etc.), vandalism, or riots.

Another part of your home that is essential to your comfort, but is often overlooked until something goes wrong, is your home’s sewage system. Your home is designed to make it easy to get rid of waste, whether it’s washing your clothes, taking a shower, or flushing a toilet. At the heart of your home’s wastewater disposal is a main sewer line that connects all the drains in your home to the city’s waste sanitation center. Your home’s main line slopes at a downward angle, letting gravity do most of the work. But sometimes, something can happen to disrupt the steady flow of waste water away from your home. The ground can shift, creating what’s referred to as a “belly” or dip in your main line that traps sticky waste and forms a blockage. If your main line is made out of cast iron, it can rust through, allowing mud and debris inside where it gathers, forming a blockage. And tree roots are known to seek out main lines for nutrients where they form root balls that can prevent waste from draining as it should.

If your main line becomes blocked, you’ll notice some odd and somewhat gross occurrences in your home. With nowhere to go, wastewater will start to come back up through the lower shower and tub drains in your home. You may also hear a gurgling sound coming from your toilet, which is air escaping from your main line. If you notice either of these signs, don’t wait for the problem to get worse; call John Moore. Our certified plumbers will find the source and location of the blockage and use an industrial strength cable to poke a hole, relieving some of the wastewater that has backed up into your home. After that, we can run a camera and offer the best solutions to replace, repair, or reslope your home’s main line and, restoring long-term comfort.

The City of Baytown strives to deliver clean water to all homes in the area. But due to pesticides and industries in the area, there are still traces of inorganic, organic, and even radioactive contaminants in the water. In the 2016 Baytown Water Quality Report, traces of magnesium, sulfates, and nitrates that could affect you and your family’s health were found in Baytown’s drinking water. Although the amount found was still within the allowable limit, it is highly recommended that homes have a water filtration system installed, especially if you or anyone in your household has a weak immune system or an autoimmune disease.

Thanks to advances in whole-home filtration technology, John Moore now provides some of the best solutions for water purification in your home. And because Baytown also has hard water that can damage your faucets, fixtures, clothes, skin, and hair, we also offer whole-home water softening solutions.

You deserve to feel comfortable with the water in your home. Schedule a consultation with a John Moore plumber to learn more about our water quality solutions.
