Plumbing Inspections in Huntington Beach

You maintain your car with regular oil change and tune-ups. Do the same for your residential and commercial plumbing. Many of our emergency calls would not occur if people had annual maintenance. You save on repair costs, lower your utility bills, and get peace of mind. If you have never had your home or office checked to make sure there are no leaks in your home, give us a call today to make sure.

Benefits of plumbing inspection

1. Exposed plumbing system – We will visually inspect your plumbing to ensure everyone’s safety. We can recommend improvements that will save you money and give you peace of mind.
2. Water heater – We will inspect emergency water shut-off, drain valve, thermostat, gas/electric connections, temperature and pressure relief valve, temperature setting, gas thermocouple, emergency gas shut-off, flue pipe, and the draft.
3. Water service – We will check your water pressure regulator. High pressure can damage a water heater over time or cause a pipe to burst in your plumbing system, including washing machine hoses.
4. Sinks, faucets, tub, shower, dishwasher, disposal, toilet – We will check for leaks (a small drip could waste hundreds of gallons of water and increase your water bill) and confirm that aerators, handles, mounting seal, drain flow, trap/tubing, water supplies, water shut-offs, pop-up operation, strainer, disposal, and dishwasher hose are working properly. Toilet test includes flush, seat, bolt caps, base movement, supply line, and emergency water shut-off.
5. Water softener – We will test for hardness and emergency water shut-off operation.
6. Washing machine – We will check your emergency water shut-off, drain, and hoses. Worn hoses could burst, resulting in flooding and expensive water damage.

Plumbing Fixtures

Oftentimes, the most challenging aspect of a project is locating just the right materials to achieve a desired look or design solution.

Earthquake Shut-off Valves

Because earthquakes are a matter of “when,” not “if,” installing earthquake shut-off valves can help to prevent explosions by measuring the intensity of an earthquake and then shutting off the gas valve if the reading of the earthquake measures 5.4 or higher on the Richter scale as read at the location of the shut-off valve. Bill Metzger Plumbing highly recommends that you have this system installed at your home/commercial property, especially in buildings of more than three units. Call today to discuss how you can protect your property.

Grease Trap Cleaning

Finding a grease servicing company that specializes and performs a combination of grease trap/interceptor cleaning, used cooking oil/grease collection, hydro jetting/plumbing, and hot water pressure washing services can be a nightmare, to say the least. The perfect company that offers these combinations of services is not easy to find. There are hardly any reputable companies that can provide a full line of grease servicing products for the food servicing industry. However, if you are hunting for a full-service grease company that can cater to all your needs, your search ends right here. Bill Metzger Plumbing is a highly reputable grease servicing company that’s been specializing in the food servicing industry for the past 50 years.

Backflow Prevention

Backflow is the undesirable reversal in the flow of water from a real or potential source of contamination back to the potable (or clean) water supply. Imagine having a garden hose in a bucket of soapy water at your home; backflow would cause that soapy water to “flow back” into your home’s water supply. Various types of backflow preventers exist for different applications and health hazard conditions. Check state and other local administrative codes or other regulations on the correct backflow prevention to use. The most common are reduced pressure backflow preventer and double backflow preventer valves. Backflow preventers are primarily used in sewer, wastewater, residential, sprinkler, and irrigation backflow applications. If you are looking for a backflow prevention system, give us a call today to keep your water and sewer safe.

Pressure Regulators

Water pressure regulators control both the water pressure and the flow rate of the incoming water supply into your home. Regulators are used to reduce high-pressure water supply lines to safe and usable pressures. A properly installed pressure regulator can eliminate many common plumbing problems, saving you both time and money in the long run. However, a damaged or worn-out pressure regulator can result in a dangerously high water pressure being present in your home. There are many common issues that can be easily prevented or solved through the installation or replacement of a water pressure regulator.

Our expertly trained professionals can help determine the unique needs of your plumbing system and what solution best works for your situation.

For most customers, it has been well worth it. Contact us today for tank and tankless water heaters.

Water Heater Inspections in Huntington Beach

The typical water heater is usually a cylindrical tank with a heat source in or below the tank, used to heat entering cold water to supply hot water to a home. Most residential water heaters have a 38- to 50-gallon glass-lined steel tank (but can range up to 88 gallons). The heat source can be either gas (natural or propane), oil, electricity, solar, or geothermal. The life expectancy of the average water heater is eight to 12 years for gas and oil, 10 to 15 for electrical, solar and geothermal, and over 20 years on tankless (made of stainless steel).

There are several different types of hot water systems used in the United States, including indirect water heater systems, dual-purpose water heater systems, on-demand water heater systems (or tankless), high-efficiency gas systems, and or direct-vent systems. Indirect water heater systems use a boiler to heat the water. Dual-purpose water heaters (also referred to as hydronic water heaters) use one of the heat types above and then store domestic hot water while circulating hot water through a heat exchanger connected to a forced-air furnace. On-demand water heaters (or tankless) only heat the water when there is a demand for it, and they do not have a storage tank. Instant hot water heaters are small (1/2 gallon) and are located near the tap―a design that provides hot water for only one tap.

Leak Detection in Huntington Beach

Bill Metzger Plumbing offers a non-invasive way to test and locate leaks on the potable hot and cold water systems throughout the house. Our process includes a thorough check of the water system, identification of the origin of the leak, multiple estimates for the repair, and a solid guarantee with our services.

Slab Leak Detection in Huntington Beach

If you have a leak underneath or within your home’s concrete slab foundations, it can be a big problem – simple corrosion (in older pipes) or small leaks in soft copper pipes can start with higher utility bills and rapidly escalate into flooding and major damage. If you suspect that there is a problem with the pipes underneath your home (commonly the hot water pipes), it is important to get an expert to look at it sooner rather than later. If you have had a catastrophic leak, then of course it’s important to shut off your main water and lines as soon as possible. If you need help locating these, call us immediately. For all your slab leak diagnosis and repair in Huntington Beach, you can count on the expertise you receive from Bill Metzger Plumbing.

Sewer Line Replacement in Huntington Beach

As a full-service commercial and residential plumber, we can replace sewer pipes to correct a number of problems. Commercial building owners are responsible for maintaining the pipes connecting their premises to the city sewer main, which is generally at the curb or sidewalk. Drain and sewer pipes left in disrepair could cause flooding and groundwater contamination, representing a serious environmental hazard. Bill Metzger Plumbing can fix that sewer line to correct a number of problems, including:

• Broken, cracked, offset, or collapsed pipes – damaged pipes due to shifting soil, frozen ground, settling, etc.
• Blockage – grease buildup or a foreign object is restricting or prohibiting proper flow and/or cleaning of the line.
• Corrosion – the pipe has deteriorated and/or broken, causing sections of the pipe to collapse and restrict flow.
• Leaking joints – the seals between pipes have broken, allowing water to escape into the area surrounding the pipe.
• Bellied pipe – a section of the pipe has sunk due to ground or soil conditions, creating a valley that collects paper and waste.
• Leaking joints – the seals between pipes have broken, allowing water to escape into the area surrounding the pipe.
• Root infiltration – tree or shrub roots have invaded the sewer line, preventing normal cleaning, and/or roots have damaged the pipe.
• Off-grade pipe – existing pipes are constructed of substandard or outdated material that may have deteriorated or corroded.

Water Line Replacement in Huntington Beach

If you’ve noticed a sudden increase in your water bill or puddles forming in your yard when it’s not raining, you may have a leaking or broken water line.

For more information or to schedule a free inspection, please contact us today.

Repiping

As the pipes of a plumbing system age, these pipes will need to be replaced because of corrosion, rust, leaks, or pinhole leaks, any of which typically result in low water pressure and rusty water. It is important to get pipes fixed as soon as possible, because leaks destroy homes and cause mold. This can be costly damage that you may not even see until it is too late.

Pipe Religning

Pipe relining is the process of repairing damaged sewer pipes by making, essentially, a pipe within a pipe to restore functionality of your pipes. We use epoxy relining materials that mold to the inside of the existing pipe to create a smooth new inner wall. Many times, pipe relining can be performed through a building’s clean-out access and often requires little digging. Pipe relining may be used to repair pipes that have tree root damage, seal cracks and holes in the pipes, fill in missing pipes, and seal joint connections underground, in roof drain pipes, in storm lines, and under concrete. The relined pipe is seamless and durable, and all materials used in the relining process are non-hazardous.

If you have a broken pipe, or a possibly a tree root intrusion, contact Bill Metzger Plumbing to fix your problems without having to dig a trench.

Trenchless Pipe Repair in Huntington Beach

You no longer have to have a trench cut through your yard or sidewalk or driveway to replace sewer or water pipes. With a small hole at each end of the run, we can pull pipe from the building to the main line. We can even upsize a line from 4″ to 6″ to provide you greater capacity. The trenchless method uses the existing damaged sewer line as a conduit and guide for the new pipe. A cone-shaped, path-clearing installation head with the new pipe attached is inserted through the old pipe. As the installation head passes through the existing pipe, it actually pulls in a full-size replacement pipe.

After installation of the new pipe is complete, it is simply connected to the existing system. This code-approved pipe is a completely root-proof, leak-proof, chemical- and acid-resistant pipe, with a 100-year design life. In the past, the only way to repair underground sewer or water pipes was to dig a trench, essentially destroying your front yard or sidewalk. Now, there are trenchless pipe repair and replacement options that minimize the impact on your landscaping—and your wallet.

Pipe Bursting

Pipe-bursting trenchless pipe replacement systems allow you to install new pipelines in the same or even larger diameter than the pipe being replaced with minimum excavation. Pipe-bursting systems can be used to replace deteriorated wastewater, water, and gas piping, including vitrified clay, cast iron, concrete, reinforced concrete, asbestos cement, or PVC with high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe. This heavy-duty HDPE pipe is available from 4” in diameter up through 36” in diameter. This high molecular weight pipe is corrosion-resistant and offers excellent flow characteristics. The use of continuous, fusion-welded pipe eliminates problem areas associated with joints such as leakage or infiltration and permits installation in smooth, jointless lengths. Another advantage is its flexibility, which permits it to be laid in a gradual radius for use on curves and steep hillsides without the need for fittings or excavations.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Plumbing Services

When it comes to providing reliable and effective plumbing services in the Huntington Beach area, our technicians have seen and heard it all! Which is why we’ve compiled some of the most common questions we receive from homeowners just like you!

WHAT CAN I USE TO CLEAR MY DRAIN SAFELY?

We get this question a lot, and are glad that we do! It gives us a chance to warn homeowners against using dangerous chemical cleaners that can wreak havoc on your plumbing system. The problem with store-bought drain cleaners is that while they may partially eat away at the clog and get your water flowing again, they don’t know the difference between your clog and your pipes, meaning they will gradually eat away at your pipes as well. This can ultimately lead to more expensive repairs down the line if your pipes burst or spring a leak. We recommend regularly flushing your drains with hot water, followed by baking soda and vinegar. This is often an effective way to remove clogs, and it will prevent buildup without posing a threat to your plumbing. When all else fails, contact your local plumbing expert and we’ll get your drain cleared safely and effectively, removing the entire clog to prevent future stoppage.

WHY WON’T MY TOILET FLUSH?

If your toilet won’t flush, you most likely have one of the following issues:

• The water level in your toilet is too low
• You have a faulty flapper
• There’s a clog in your toilet

If you’re unsure which problem your toilet is facing, give us a call and we will quickly assess the issue and provide prompt, affordable repairs – guaranteed!

WHAT SHOULD I DO IF A PIPE BURSTS IN MY HOME?

A burst pipe is one of those dreaded events that homeowners often fear. While it is frustrating and often messy, our team has dealt with plenty of pipe problems and can get you the repairs you need quickly, saving you time, stress, and money. The first thing you should do if you have a pipe burst is give our team a call. We will arrive promptly to evaluate the issue and provide swift repairs. While you are waiting on our arrival, here are some important steps to take:

1. Turn off your water main. This will stop the flow of water coming from your burst pipe. Water mains are typically located in the basement, crawl space, or an area close to your water heater.
2. Drain your faucets – cold taps first. Once you turn off your water, drain the remaining cold water from your system by turning on your cold faucet. You may also need to flush your toilet a few times. This helps significantly in relieving any pent-up pressure in your pipes.
3. Turn off heat and drain your hot taps. Next you should turn off your heating system, then release the water from your hot water taps.
4. Mop up excess water. When the water stops flowing, it’s time to focus on cleaning up any excess water to prevent mold or mildew.

If you need help locating your water main or have other questions while you wait for your plumbing technician to arrive, give our friendly customer care experts a call at (949) 492-3558!

WHY IS MY WELL PUMP SHORT-CYCLING?

When we encounter a well pump that is short-cycling, the most common issue we find is loss of air in the water pressure tank. Here are a variety of other culprits that could be to blame:

• Reduced or complete loss of the water tank’s air charge
• Water pump pressure control switch issues
• Faulty wiring
• Blocked piping in the water supply
• Clogged or damaged water filter
• Overcharged water tank air
• Damaged water tank bladder
• Leaks in your water tank or well pipe

While it’s nearly impossible for homeowners to determine the exact cause of their well pump’s problems, our team of seasoned plumbers can quickly and effectively diagnose the issue and provide you with comprehensive solutions, making sure to explain the repairs needed to you effectively.

WHY IS MY HOME’S WATER PRESSURE SO LOW?

Low water pressure is a pet peeve of many, especially when it’s in your own home. There are a number of things that can cause low water pressure, from clogged or damaged water filters to mineral buildup in pipes. Some of the most common causes are:

• Debris or corrosion buildup
• Plumbing leaks
• Problems with your water supply

Fortunately, Bill Metzger Plumbing offers high-quality plumbing inspections and repairs, as well as state-of-the-art pressure regulating systems that will ensure you have optimal water pressure for every appliance in your home. That means no more showering under a trickle of water!
