When it comes to plumbing systems, there is a lot of misinformation and wrongly held beliefs out there. This is partly why it is so important that you work with trained, trustworthy professionals. They don’t come any more trustworthy than a Sunny Plumber! That’s the good news. The bad news is that, in order to keep people like you informed, we sometimes have to burst a bubble or two. In this case, it’s the belief that copper pipes last forever.
Yes, it is true that copper pipes can last a very long time. There is a reason why they are so popular in both residential and commercial applications. Even copper pipes have their limitations, though. It is entirely possible that your copper pipes will begin to leak at some point. When they do, it is very possible that those leaks will be of the pinhole variety. Today we are going to take a look at the causes of these leaks.
Some homeowners think of plumbing not necessarily as a simple service, but one that doesn’t really entail much in the way of technology. Surely drills, piping materials, wrenches, etc. are all that we need to deal with plumbing problems, right? As you can probably guess, that is not where this blog post is heading. Even setting aside cutting edge technology used in appliances like water heaters, there is a lot more advanced equipment involved in plumbing than you may realize.
Considering the nature of your plumbing system and the different jobs that it does, the fact that “plumbing odors” can be a problem really should not come as too much of a shock. That being said, you should not just be willing to put up with plumbing odors because you think they’re just part of the deal. And you certainly shouldn’t settle for burning matches or lighting a candle just to cover up the plumbing odors that you encounter.
If you start out with low water pressure in your home, then it is probably something that you’ll take care of right away.

There are a number of different issues that can cause water pressure to drop, and none of them are great. The good news is that our Sunny Plumbers are here to help, whatever the issue may be.
