Drain Maintenance in White Rock• Same-Day Service Available

If your home has original galvanized pipes from the 70s, they're 50+ years old and approaching the end of their useful life even if you're not seeing major issues yet. The question is whether to replace them proactively or wait for problems. Proactive repiping—scheduled at your convenience, planned and budgeted—costs roughly the same as reactive repiping but avoids the stress and potential water damage of emergency failures. If you're planning to stay in your home long-term, repiping in your 50s schedule makes sense. If you're selling soon, buyers might ask for credits once the inspection reveals aging galvanized pipes. We can assess your system's condition and help you decide on timing. Typical cost for repiping a White Rock home is $8,000 to $12,000 depending on size and complexity.

White Rock water is hard enough that a softener provides real benefits—extended water heater life, reduced fixture cleaning, better soap performance. Without a softener, water heaters typically last 8 to 10 years here. With a softener, you can get 12 to 15 years. Softeners also protect washing machines, dishwashers, and prevent mineral buildup in fixtures. A whole-house softener costs $1,800 to $3,200 installed. It's not absolutely essential like it is in Santa Fe where water is even harder, but it's a good investment that pays for itself over time through extended appliance life and reduced maintenance. Most White Rock homeowners who install softeners are glad they did.

At 18 years, your furnace is near the end of typical lifespan, especially given the heavy duty cycle White Rock winters demand. Efficiency has likely degraded—you're paying more in gas bills than you would with a modern high-efficiency unit. Heat exchangers can crack from thermal stress, creating carbon monoxide hazards. Blower motors wear out. At some point in the next few years, you'll face the replace-or-repair decision, and once furnaces reach this age, repair often doesn't make economic sense. Planned replacement in September or October before heating season starts costs the same as emergency replacement in January but gives you time to choose the right system and schedule at your convenience. Modern high-efficiency furnaces save significantly on energy costs and are more reliable. We can assess your current furnace and give honest recommendations.
