What causes pipe and water line failures?

Common causes include aging or outdated pipes that corrode over time, hard water buildup causing blockages, shifting soil or foundation damage impacting underground lines, poor installation by unlicensed plumbers, and tree roots intruding into water lines.

When should I consider repiping my home?

Consider repiping if you have galvanized or lead pipes, experience frequent leaks or repairs, notice discolored water or low pressure throughout the home, or if your plumbing system is over 50 years old. Modern materials like copper or PEX offer better durability and water quality.

Do you offer emergency pipe repair?

Yes, Precision Flow Plumbing offers 24/7 emergency service for burst pipes and urgent leaks throughout San Francisco. Water emergencies can cause significant damage quickly, so we prioritize fast response times.

What causes low water pressure?

Low water pressure can be caused by corroded or clogged pipes, mineral buildup from hard water, hidden leaks in the system, undersized water lines, or issues with the municipal water supply. Our plumbers diagnose the exact cause and provide targeted solutions.

How long do water pipes last?

Pipe lifespan varies by material: copper pipes last 50-70 years, PEX pipes 40-50 years, galvanized steel 20-50 years, and brass pipes 40-70 years. Water quality, usage, and maintenance all affect how long your pipes will last.
