Ceiling pipes deliver hot water all summer

Not knowing our 25-year-old home’s discolored water was the fault of east Fresno’s water delivery; we replaced our plumbing. Our home was built on a cement slab, causing new pipes be replaced in the ceiling – pipes in the ceiling in Fresno’s hot summers deliver hot water from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. from June to September.

The plumbing company that replaced our pipes is not able to resolve our problem. Homeowners who have their homes built on slabs should know about this problem.
