Excellent Service
by BetteLV
January 10, 2009
I highly recommend AMCO. First of all they were on time, no waiting. They gave me a quote of the cost, in writing of how much the repair would be, and even though my job became more work than just a drain clean out there was no extra charge other than the cost of the part- even though they had to leave and spend a lot more time to repair than anticipated. The price was extremely fair and the work was impeccable. In fact I was even contacted later to make sure all was well. If that is not excellent service especially in this day and age of overpriced, overworked , impersonable ,under qualified businesses I don't know what would be.

Attention Realtors! Foreclosure Property Plumbing Issues
The huge number of foreclosure properties on the real estate market has presented a unique and challenging situation for purchasers of these bank owned properties. Many desperate home owners attempted to seek revenge against their lender by inflecting expensive and often hidden damage on the properties they were forced to leave.The obvious, such as removal of fixtures, cabinets, toilets, appliances and water heaters is readily identifiable and noted on the cursory home inspection report. The real problems present themselves after the new owner takes possession. With the Kitec plumbing class action affecting over 37,000 homes in Las Vegas, many new home owners will be faced with re-piping their entire residence at considerable expense. Removing defective Kitec plumbing and re-piping a single family dwelling averages from $6,000 to $10,000, depending on the home size and design.
REO properties are sold "as is" with no duty to disclose defects.Without an invasive camera inspection of the wall cavities to view the existing water lines and their condition, purchasers are exposing themselves to a huge risk. Additionally, many angry residents, prior to losing their home, poured chemicals, paint, plaster, and even concrete into the drains, toilets and sewer system.
Make sure you advise your buyers to request a plumbing system inspection by a licensed plumbing contractor, not just a home inspector. The plumbing inspection report will specify all the plumbing issues and costs to make repairs. Only a camera inspection can detect and locate serious issues. It could be the best $279 your buyer has ever spent, as it could save thousands of Dollars in hidden damage repair costs.

Concrete Slab Leaks
By: Howard Powell
AMCO Plumbing Service, LLC
History
Many homes built in Southern Nevada and throughout the Southwest, from the mid 70’s through 1999, were constructed on concrete slab foundations. During construction, soft rolled copper water lines were placed in the soil just below the concrete slab floor. Building codes at the time did not permit the use of hard rigid copper, as rigid copper is produced in 10 and 20 foot lengths and no joints, soldered or otherwise were allowed beneath the concrete slab. As a result, only long lengths of soft rolled copper, which is pliable, could be installed. Soft copper, which is easily bent, was rolled out in the soil from fixture to fixture and bent up through the concrete slab. The generally accepted method of installation was to begin at the water meter and roll the soft copper to the shut off valve in the front yard. From there it was rolled out to the water heater location which was generally in the garage and then it would be stubbed up through the concrete and looped from fixture to fixture. At the water heater location, a manifold was installed and both a hot and cold water line were looped throughout the house in the soil from fixture to fixture and left sticking up out of the ground and the new concrete slab was poured over the soft copper. After the house was framed by carpenters, plumbers would install “type M” hard copper piping in the walls and connect it to the soft rolled copper protruding from the slab.
When we refer to concrete slab leaks, it is the soft rolled copper pipe in the soil below the concrete, not actually embedded in the slab of concrete. The copper protruding though the concrete at each fixture location is sleeved in light weight plastic, which is red or blue in color, to designate the hot or cold water line.
