From the water heater to the sewer line.
We are remodeling. When should the plumber be involved?
Earlier than most people ask. Once a wall is open you can see what is behind it, and decisions about moving a stack, upsizing a supply run or replacing the last of the old pipe cost a fraction of what they cost after the drywall is back. It is also when permits and inspections are cheapest to handle, because they can be scheduled around the rest of the work rather than holding it up. A short conversation at the drawing stage tends to save arguments at the tiling stage.
Is the water here hard enough to matter?
Yes, across most of this area, and it is the reason so many water heaters fail early around here. Hard water leaves scale on the heating element and in the tank bottom, which insulates the burner from the water and makes the heater work longer for the same hot shower. You see it first on fixtures and glassware, then in a heater that takes longer to recover. Softening is worth pricing on its own merits, but the honest first step is finding out your actual grains per gallon rather than assuming, because it varies by supplier and some of them changed in the last few years.
My house has old galvanized pipe. Does it all have to go?
Not necessarily all at once. Galvanized supply line rusts from the inside, so the bore narrows over decades until flow suffers and the water runs brown after the house has sat empty. Whether it wants full repiping or a partial depends on how much has already been replaced by previous owners, which is usually more than people expect. A look at the exposed runs in the basement tells you a lot for free. Where repiping is the right answer, it is worth doing before a remodel rather than after.
Is a tankless water heater worth it?
It depends on the house more than on the technology. Tankless gives you hot water that does not run out and takes up far less room, and it lasts longer than a tank. Against that, it usually needs a larger gas line and different venting, so the install is a bigger job than a straight tank swap. It also wants descaling on a schedule in water as hard as ours, and skipping that is how people end up disappointed. If you are replacing in an emergency with no hot water in the house, a tank is usually the faster answer.
