Does Anyone at Your Holiday Table Remember the 1950’s?

How about that?  Does anyone gathered at your holiday feast remember when Dwight Eisenhower was President, when Elvis Presley was the hottest thing on the planet except for the “cold war” or when the hula hoop was all the rage?  Are they able to tell stories of what it was like when the first black and white television arrived in their home?

I know, the younger people at the table may well have already taken out their iPhones or rolled their eyes.  This is a time to reminisce.  For older and newer members of the family to share common ground even if it is only how great the food tastes.  Listen to those stories…they’re all we have left of the memories of the 1950’s.

Not so fast!  The 1950’s are alive and well at JO-MI Plumbing.  That’s right, even though we have all of the modern tools and techniques for the 2nd decade of the 21st century, our roots go back to the middle of the 50’s.  Our family has been serving your family in West Los Angeles for over 60 years.  As a matter of fact, the people telling those stories may have been calling JO-MI all those years ago.  Happy Holidays from JO-MI plumbing, proudly serving West LA since 1953.

Is a Home Water Filtration System Right For Me?

Installing Copper Piping.

If the pipes in your home are nearly 2 decades old or even older, chances are it is time to repipe your home’s plumbing.  In the past, homes were built with galvanized plumbing. Over time it deteriorates and rusts. Some telltale signs are your appliances filling up more slowly than they used to, or maybe it’s a lack of pressure in the shower. You may also notice a brownish color to your water. Eventually, this can lead to water that is undrinkable and unsafe.

The reason why this happens is that the diameter of the galvanized pipes will slowly diminish from rust and debris. Over time, you may notice a less than pleasant odor and low water pressure. You may even notice leaks springing up, which could result in mold and further damage to your home.

The solution to this problem is a re-piping of your existing plumbing with copper. This will drastically improve the quality and safety of your home. Putting it off for too long can result in disastrous consequences.  Contact West Los Angeles area JO-MI Plumbing today at 310-473-8111 for more information on replacing your home’s current plumbing with long lasting copper piping.  The future safety of your home and even your family’s health may depend on it.
