Pipe Repair in Spokane, WA

Pipe Repair in SpokanePipe repair in Spokane peaks during cold snaps, when pipes along basement rim joists, in exterior walls and in garages freeze and split. Many South Hill and Browne’s Addition homes still have galvanized supply that corrodes and loses pressure, and remodels often uncover old pipe that should be replaced while walls are open. Spokane’s older homes often have basement plumbing that was extended or rerouted over the years, leaving lines in odd places near exterior walls and crawl spaces under porches.

Pipe Repair in Spokane: questions

How do I prevent frozen pipes in Spokane?

Insulate and air-seal rim joists, keep the basement heated and drip faucets during extreme cold.

Should I repipe an older Spokane home?

If galvanized pipe causes low pressure or leaks, repiping is often worthwhile.

What if a pipe bursts in a Spokane basement?

Shut off the main, often near the front basement wall, and move belongings off the floor; basement water spreads fast.

Why do my Spokane pipes freeze under the porch?

Porch and addition crawl spaces are rarely heated; insulating the pipes or rerouting them into the heated basement prevents it.
