Updating plumbing is an important part of home care.

San Rafael plumber John Gallagher, a leading plumber in the San Francisco Bay Area for 30 years, says homeowners should consider several considerations when planning a plumbing upgrade.
# 1 Call a plumber
Unless the homeowner is a certified plumber, it is advisable to hire a professional. There are a few things the homeowner can do to update their plumbing, but much of the work requires a professional.
Call a few plumbers and get to know them. Ask for their opinion on what exactly needs to be done to update the home and get quotes. Check the references and go with the plumber who really knows their stuff.
# 2 Update the pipes
Many older houses are laid with galvanized steel. People still use galvanized and PVC pipes, but copper is much more durable and less likely to break, leak, etc. Talk to the plumber about replacement options to find out what’s best for the home, budget, and time the best is.
# 3 update fixtures
Inexpensive, old equipment can have degraded performance, drainage and can make a home look tired. Kitchen faucets with pull-out heads are very useful for washing out large pots and cleaning the sink. Low flow shower heads can save water and energy costs for water heating.
# 4 Install new equipment
Water filtration systems, water softeners, and garbage disposal are somewhat expected in households these days, but may not be present in older households.
