🔧 Plumbing Facts Every Homeowner Should Know
Water Pressure: The safe range for residential plumbing is 40–60 PSI. Consistently high pressure can damage pipes, fixtures, and appliances.
Pipe Lifespan: Materials matter—copper lasts 50+ years, PEX about 40, and galvanized steel between 20–50.
P-Traps: These U-shaped sections of pipe hold water, creating a seal that prevents sewer gases from entering your home.
Toilet Mechanisms: Inside every tank, the flush valve, fill valve, and flapper operate together to ensure a proper flush.
Water Heaters: Annual flushing helps remove sediment buildup, which can reduce efficiency by up to 30% if neglected.
At Credence Plumbing Solutions, we love helping homeowners understand the “why” behind their plumbing—because a little knowledge goes a long way in protecting your home.
