Maintaining the plumbing in your home is crucial for its overall health and your peace of mind. Over time, wear and tear can take a toll on your pipes, leading to various issues that may necessitate repiping. Here are six key reasons why you should consider repiping your home.
1- Old, Noisy Pipes
It may not mean you need repiping – it could be a fixable water hammer issue. But, it’s important to at least consider repiping if you regularly hear rattling, squealing, gurgling, or other strange noises.
2- Poor Water Pressure
Metal pipes may corrode or accumulate sediment over time, narrowing the interior walls and making it harder for water to flow through. Call us if your water pressure drops.
3- Frequent Clogs
Clogs in your old pipes can still occur even if you take precautions with what you put down the drain. Some very old pipes may even be too feeble to handle two-ply toilet paper.
4- Yellow or Brown Water
At that point your pipes have already deteriorated, so chemicals or superficial brushing will not solve the problem. Another indication that the system needs to be replaced is if the water has an unpleasant taste or odor.
5- Water Leaks
Leaks in exposed pipes will be noticeable quickly. However, you might not be aware of all the leaks in the walls, ceilings or slab foundation. By the time you see those leaks, the damage has been done.
6- Temperature Issues
Is the water temperature in your entire house consistent? If you find it’s difficult to keep it up, it’s time to get professional assistance. Temperature issues frequently lead to bigger problems.
