FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT IS NORMAL WATER PRESSURE?
Normal water pressure is 50 to 70 PSI. If you have over 80 PSI, you are required to have a pressure regulating valve. If your pressure remains at 80 PSI or higher, you run the risk of damaging appliances and fixtures, as the high pressure can damage their inner parts. The most common pressure regulating valves are made by Watts and Wilkins.
HOW DO YOUR ESTIMATES WORK?
Barnett Plumbing is pleased to offer all our customers no obligation, on-site estimates. This allows our customers to know exactly what the charge is, what will be done, and what warranty applies before ever committing to a repair.
HOW LONG DO WATER HEATERS LAST?
Most water heaters fail within in eight to twelve years from their manufacturing date, although some fail sooner and others fail later. We recommend you do a visual inspection of your water heater once every three months. If there is any rusty water or corrosion growing on the outside of the pipes, you should consider replacing the water heater.
FIXED PRICES VS. HOURLY RATES
Some plumbing companies bill customers based on an hourly rate. Unfortunately, when companies use this method, their customers don’t know how much a job costs before starting. That’s why, whenever possible, we use fixed prices. It allows our customers to know exactly what they’re getting themselves into before starting a project.
