Is it Time to Repair or Replace Your Pipes? Let’s Find Out
Water pipes corrode over time – faster if they’re made of galvanized steel. Cracks can form and bring about water leaks. Built-up sediment from mineral deposits – like calcium and magnesium – can partially block the flow of water. Other reasons for pipe repair or replacement include broken seals, incorrect installation, damaged pipe joints, and more.
And yet all of that is difficult, if not impossible, to see. So how would you know if your water pipes need professional attention?
Here are the most common indications Sump pump
Low Water Pressure Sump pump:
Continuous low water pressure could indicate that your pipes are beginning to narrow. Eventually they can close shut due to a buildup of rust or other mineral debris. If low water pressure can’t be fixed any other way, re-piping is likely in order.
More Signs that Re-Piping May Be Needed
Older Homes: The older your home, the more prone it becomes to worn out or broken pipes. Still, just how old is old? If your home was built at least a half century ago and was built with galvanized pipes, the time for re-piping has arrived or is just around the corner.
Discolored Water: If your water is red or brown, guess what? Exactly – a common sign indicating it’s time for re-piping. Rust is more than visually unappealing – it can also negatively impact your home’s water quality. Our advice? Don’t risk your health by using inferior quality water throughout your daily routine.
Multiple Pipe Leaks: While one or two unrelated pipe leaks can be fixed, multiple pipe leaks can often signal that there are bigger fish to fry, so to speak.
