Plumbing
WARNING !
Plumbing Can be Dangerous (especially when near to electrical work), because of Electrical hazards and also Sewer gas hazards. At Masterpiece Repair & Design, we encourage you to use a professional in the field before doing any Plumbing work. If you have even a doubt…DON’T DO IT!
Plumbing is not for the inexperienced, there can be serious repercussions to not knowing. ATTENTION LANDLORDS: most cities, including the city of Rochester, New York, require a licensed plumber to work on properties that are not owner-occupied.
Masterpiece Repair & Design carries the insurances to perform plumbing and electrical work and has years of experience. I am a master plumber and electrician by trade and have decades of experience in working on fiber optics, cat 7+ lines, and alarm cables, all low voltage including 120v single, 240v live, 480v three phase and 277v transformers. Several jobs have included working with higher ratings as well.
We first ensure your water system is grounded, even if it is to the plastic pipes to the fixtures (which have at least some metal in them).
We Repair and Replace in coming waterlines, replace the curb valve to your property
Water Filtration Systems, so you have clean fresh water without the chlorine taste.
Replace the water main feed into your home or business,
PRESSURE
Install and configure pressure reducers. If your home water system experiences blasts of water when faucets are turned on or water that weeps out of the faucets, this is a sign the water pressure that’s too high for the system. We can bring this into balance, which helps to avoid burst pipes and fittings and increases the longevity of your system.
Water pressure can also be too low. If you experience drops in water pressure while a family member is in the shower and another is washing dishes or flushing the toilet in another powder room, a booster pump can fix that. It’s a great way to be sure everyone has the water pressure they want and need, when they need it.
Do you need a water softener system installed or a low tech way to clean up the water coming into your home so you can benefit from clean water to drink and bath in without the chlorine smell and taste. Water softeners also help your laundry soap and kitchen dish washer soap go much farther, saving you time and money and (most importantly) your health.
If you’re property uses a well water system, we can make all the same improvements for pressure and softening. In the event that you’d like to convert to a public water system, Masterpiece can help you with that, also, if the county has water mains available in your area.
I can even get your water tested, for impurities, before and after.
