Master Plumber Mark
Sensitivity trainer and plumber of mens souls
Everyone has been soo keen on all the PEX pipe
systems for years and years now.......
the damn stuff just works wonderful dont it???
The best thing to come along since sliced bread!!
but their is a funny thing about all thaqt plastic PEX.....
when it gets as cold as hell out there like about -10
with the wind blowing at 25 mph ----
it ALL FREEZES UP.....just like that shitty copper stuff.
the copper pipes I can thaw out with a electiical pipe thawer,
and perhaps get the people out of troubles
but the PEX cant be thawed out that way!!!!
Its pretty hard and nearly impossible to carry a
250 lb salamander full of kerosine down a flight
of stairs with the hopes of heating a cellar area
hot enough to thaw out WIRSBO PEX pipe...
plus all the other situatioins that simply cannot be
heated properly....
it has not been this cold in INDY since 1989
and I am pretty sure about half of this city
will be calling me before the weekend.....
When they call the first thing I ask them is
do you have copper or plastic pipes......
if they have plastic,
I tell them that I cant help them
and maybe their water will
come back on sometime next week
when it gets above 30
we have some very, very expensive homes built in
this area over that last 15 years
that used all of the fun PEX stuff and they
simply CANNOT be thawed out
so what else can a plumber do???
