Installation & Repair of Plumbing Fixtures
Water Supply & Distribution Piping
Along with the drain waste and vent system, the water distribution system in your home is more important and complex than it first appears. Properly sized and installed systems deliver clean pure water and remove the water borne waste from your home to a point of disposal with no moving parts. They protect your family from contaminants and the methane gas (sewer smell) that is a byproduct of bacterial action within the system. They keep your family safe from the diseases that plague most undeveloped nations (cholera, typhoid, polio, meningitis, and hepatitis) to name a few of the more common water borne diseases that plague some undeveloped countries. Improperly sized water distribution piping will cause pressure fluxuations at the faucets and fixtures. In some situations this will not be noticed, however if you have been in the shower when someone flushes the toilet or starts the clothes washer and the shower turns to a dribble of water your water piping was probably not sized correctly. Call Bow Plumbing & Heating to have your problems solved.
Water Heaters – Electric, Gas, Oil & Solar
Bow Plumbing will properly size and select the water heater required by your lifestyle and hot water needs. All calculations, designs and estimates are done free of charge. Bow Plumbing features the complete line of State Industries gas fired and electric water heaters from the standard State Industries six year warrantee to the State Industries Select 10 year warrantee., From six gallon capacity to 120 gallon capacity, State Industries has the products to cover your needs. New technology is a great thing but be very careful when selecting an on demand heater. In this geographic region the ambient water temperature is approximately 45 degrees and requires a boost in temperature of at least 85 degrees to provide 130 degree water at the faucets. When you check the graphs of other manufacturer’s pay particular attention to the gpm (gallons per minute) rate as it relates to the temperature rise of 85 degrees that is required. We install all of our water heaters with pressure/temperature safety valves, di-electric unions, new full port ball valves and thermostatic safety mixing valves to protect against scalding. Thermal expansion tanks are installed where required by system piping, local codes or manufacturer’s installation instructions. We also remove and take your old leaker with us when the installation is completed
