Creaking or cracking sounds are usually caused by the expansion and contraction of the water pipe itself.  When hot water runs through a pipe, it heats the pipe, causing it to expand a bit . Once the water stops flowing, the pipe cools and the metal contracts, resulting in the creaking or cracking sound. The easiest way to fix this is to put some insulation around the pipe, or if the pipe is running through a tight fitting hole in the wood framing, cut a notch in the framing so the pipe can expand and then contract without that creaking sound.

Pipes can make noises for a variety of reasons and aren’t always cause for concern but to be sure and save your self headache and money later contact us at 480-350-9941 Mr Rooter Plumbing for a free inspection

Plumbing Myth::

Myth :  There is nothing I can do to stop my drains, pipes, sewer and toilets from an occasional back-up, so I’ll only worry if I have a problem.
Fact: Do you know that up to 15% of the value of your property is tied into your plumbing system. This system of appliances, pipes, faucets and fixtures provides fresh water for drinking and cleaning whenever you want it. Protect your investment with proper  maintenance. Call Mr Rooter Plumbing of Phoenix Arizona fo r a free preventative maintenance consultation.

Water expands when it freezes. This is the same reason that sodas will burst in the freezer. When you have a pipe full of water that is exposed to freezing temperatures, the water in the pipes expands as it freezes, causing a huge amount of pressure that will eventually cause the pipe to break.

There are many things you can do to help prevent freezing pipes and it’s especially important this time of year!

There are plenty of things you can do yourself but if you aren’t sure where to start or how please call MR ROOTER PLUMBING IN MESA ARIZONA for advice on where to begin!

At Mr Rooter Plumbing we care about the health and safety of the community, please read the following on water heater safety.

Your gas water heater might look safe, but if it’s improperly installed or maintained it’s a potential ballistic missile that could erupt with enough force to lift your house off its foundation. Every year a few water heaters explode with devastating results. To make sure yours is safe, follow these simple steps:

• Remove paper, accumulated dust or other combustibles from the heater enclosure.
• Extinguish the pilot light before using flammable liquids or setting off aerosol bug bombs near the unit. Never store combustibles close by.
• If the device is in the garage, raise it so the pilot light is 18 in. above the floor. This can help prevent ignition of gasoline vapors that collect near the floor.
• Inspect the flue for breaks or gaps that could leak deadly exhaust gas. (This is a good practice to do on other gas appliances.)
• Ask a Mr Rooter technician to check the temperature pressure-relief valve, a faucet-like device mounted on the top or side of the heater. Excessively high temperature or pressure causes this valve to open, relieving pressure and preventing a steam explosion.
• Consider installing an automatic gas-shutoff valve (below) that stops the flow of gas if the ground moves or if gas flow increases dramatically. The valve prevents fires when a gas line breaks due to flood, earthquake or other disaster.

Over time pipes corrode creating a build up that greatly effects the pipes flow capacity as well as the quality of water.

This corrosion will result in more than just a slower flow it will cause leaks and bad tasting water. Unfortunately these old corroded pipes allow copper and lead to be absorbed into the body by either drinking, cooking, or bathing. According to the U.S. Department Of Health And Human Services lead is the number one environmental threat to childrens health. Children are being exposed to this hazard through the consumption of water from old corroded piping systems.

Pipe lining provides a protective barrier that stops the leaching of these harmful toxins. Pipe lining is a smart, safe, and affordable solution to aging pipes. Pipe lining will effectively and safely extend the life of older systems, however even newer pipes have their troubles too, the day pipes are installed and water starts to run through, it starts the corrosion process. To be sure your pipes are safe no matter how old or new contact MR ROOTER PLUMBING for a complimentary video inspection of your pipes……..mention you heard about this from our blog and receive $50 off any pipe relining.
