Brett Cadiente: My name is Brett Cadiente, and I'm with Cadiente Plumbing. We do plumbing in Mesa, Arizona. And some of the services...
We seem to get around all of Mesa, but some of the services that we handle in Mesa might include slab leaks, drain calls.
A lot of the general public actually don't know that plumbers actually handle the drains and the rooting, and the drain cleaning as well.
So, we do that. Kitchen faucets, sinks, disposals, things like that. So, we do quite a bit.
So, as far as old piping, there's a lot of stuff out there. Some of the newer stuff, Aquafix has done really really well.
And then, you've got your traditional piping, copper. Some of the stuff that we tend to replace are galvanized piping.
Galvanized piping tends to... It has a life span, and once it hits it's life span, it's gonna cause you all kinds of problems.
It likes to break and crumble. The other thing that we seem to replace CPVC, it's a form of PCV pipe, plastic pipe.
Typically, is run overhead in your attic. The problem with that, especially in Arizona, is you get extreme heat in the attic of your house.
And what it does is it likes to essentially burn the pipe or it kind of browns it.
And what happens is, it gets brittle, it breaks, it shatters, and then, you have floods and stuff like that.
So, we come in and we replace stuff like that.
Another thing that's really not too good for your house is the polybutylene. Polybutylene is another form of plastic piping.
It was defective from the start. It's deemed defective now.
If you have it in your house, you do need to replace it because it's gonna cause problems in your home. So...
