When buying or remodeling a home, the cabinetry and countertops might make their presence known a little louder than those pipes concealed under the surface. It’s easy to overlook what’s behind the walls and under the floorboards of your charming cottage or vintage chateau. Let’s face it – most people don’t want to think about plumbing, they just want to know that their utilities work. Philip O’Hara, the owner of Confluent Solutions sits down to explain some of the often misunderstood (and expensive) situations that could occur in a home, especially an older home, here in Fort Worth.
Philip O’Hara has been a plumber in Fort Worth for over 20 years. Not only is Philip extremely knowledgeable when it comes to Fort Worth homes and plumbing, he truly wants his clients to be comfortable and have the utilities in their home functioning properly. “Most people, they want to turn one knob and the water gets hot, another knob and the water turns cold, and then want the water to disappear when they’re done,” Philip says. In addition to your water, consider the gas lines of your home. Confluent Solutions also checks on the health of your gas lines and will replace them or put in new gas pipes as needed.
Philip is passionate about ensuring that clients are educated but also happy with their services. “Number one is safety, number two is comfort,” Philip says. Confluent Solutions specializes in residential properties and is known for their work on older homes. Philip himself lives in a 99-year-old Fort Worth home and wants to maintain the life of his own home as long as possible.
Water damage continues to top the charts of insurance claims across the board year over year. In fact, water damage is the number one most filed insurance claims. In fact, it’s more than fire and theft insurance claims combined. There are several symptoms you might observe of low water pressure or leaks. Pipes in older homes eventually might fall victim to rust or debris, which can quickly wear out your pipes. Left unattended, these pipes could eventually leak, drip, or completely break. The easiest precautionary choice is to work with Confluent Solutions to do a routine maintenance check on your water pressure before a problem occurs. Worst case scenario – the pipe might break, causing months of inconvenience. Best-case scenario – you just have low pressure or leakage.
Philip compares working with professional plumbers like taking your car to get serviced. There are definitely handymen that can handle some of your plumbing needs, but a licensed plumber has the experience and solutions necessary to give you a lasting solution. “It’s like taking your car to the dealership,” Philip says. “We’re not there to fix the symptoms, we’re there to make sure we get down to the root of the problem.”
If you think about it, plumbers’ jobs are much more than helping your home flow smoothly, they also keep our society healthy by helping you have immediate access to clean and safe water. By providing clean potable water to your faucets, plumbers over time have continued to make us a healthier nation. On a large scale, checking on the health of your plumbing may prevent a flood and keep your water pure, but on a smaller scale, it may increase the life of some of your appliances or your own health. Philip shares the benefit of getting checkups on your pipes before doing any major remodels or purchasing a new kitchen appliance or toilet. “If you put in a $20,000 refrigerator, why not go ahead and spend a little extra to make it last 10 years longer?” Philip says. In the long run, that appliance will have a longer life and you’ll be more at ease knowing your pipes are functional.
