Sherwood Forest Plumbing

Sherwood Forest’s older homes and towering trees lend themselves nicely to the area’s comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. Yet the same attributes that make Sherwood Forest a great place to live and settle down can also lead to some not-so-nice plumbing issues. Over time, the galvanized pipes that comprise the potable water system in older homes will rust from the inside out. And tree roots from the large trees in the area often find their way into home’s main drain lines, where they can form root-balls that cause sewer line blockages, leading to some fairly nasty results in the home.

Because John Moore has been serving Sherwood Forest homeowners for more than 50 years, our plumbers are well equipped and ready to handle any plumbing concern you may have. From whole-home repipes to whole-home water filtration systems, we take pride in helping homeowners and families in Sherwood Forest feel comfortable and relaxed in their home again.

Do you know what kind of pipes are used for your home’s potable water system? Many homes in Sherwood Forest still use galvanized pipes or PVC to move clean water to faucets and appliances. Unfortunately, both galvanized and PVC water pipes encounter problems as time goes on. Galvanized pipes rust from the inside out, leading to rust in your water as well as pinhole on your pipes that leak and damage your ceilings and walls. PVC pipes, on the other hand, rely on joint connection that can burst open under the pressure of your home’s water system.

If you notice brown-tinted water, rust spots on your pipes, low water pressure, or water marks on your ceilings and walls, we can help you find the best solution for you and your home. When we notice a section of pipe that has rusted or ruptured, we offer repiping solutions that not only fix the issue, but also prevent them from happening again. For both horizontal and whole-home repipe, John Moore uses PEX Piping. PEX is the ultimate potable water piping solution because it’s flexible, anti-corrosive, has fewer connection points than PVC, and uses special connectors that can withstand extreme amounts of pressure.

Are you ready to upgrade your home’s potable water system to PEX? Call 713-730-2525 or contact us online.

Your house’s main line is the unsung hero of your home. Main lines are a sloped pipe underneath your house that carry all the waste from your toilets, sinks, showers, tubs, and washing machine to the city’s sewage system. But sometimes, for one reason or another, this sloped waste line gets clogged and your waste has nowhere to go but back up through the drains in your home. (Pretty nasty, right?)

The reasons for a main line stoppage include dips forming in the slope that make it difficult for waste to be pulled by gravity as usual; holes in cast iron main lines that let dirt and mud build up in the pipe; and tree roots that seek out main lines for nutrients and form root balls that can clog the pipe. In Sherwood Forest, the primary culprit for main line stoppages is tree roots.

If you notice gurgling toilets or sewage water backing up in the lower tub and shower drains of your home, contact John Moore. We will send a plumber to inspect your main line, locate the clog, determine the cause, and offer the best solution to prevent this nasty occurrence from happening again.

As a whole-home service provider, John Moore has first-hand experience with the damage that Houston’s hard water does to fixtures. From lime-scale build up in tubs and sinks to accelerating dry skin and hair, hard water can be a burden on both your home and your family. Furthermore, Houston’s water tests just below the allowable limit of contaminants such as arsenic, barium, and geosmin, which could have long-term effects on you and your family’s health.

If you want softer water to clean with and safer water to drink, John Moore offers whole-house water softeners and filtration systems that we can install in your home. You may not be able to control the quality of the water coming into your home, but you can control how it comes out.
