Repiping is not a process that most homeowners want to undertake. However, when the time comes it is a necessary undertaking to keep your home’s vital functions operating properly and to keep those in your home comfortable. Signs your home plumbing system needs repiping include:
Age
Generally, your home’s pipes have a lifespan of around 50 years. Pipes that are aged 50 years or older were usually made with chemicals and substances that are considered to be dangerous. Once your pipes reach that age, it may be time to consider repiping your entire plumbing system.
Continuous Clogging
In the event that you are continuously noticing water puddling above the drain in your sink or shower, despite having your drains frequently cleared, your home plumbing system may be in need of repiping.
Corrosion
Corroded pipes can quickly compromise an entire plumbing system if left unaddressed. They can lead to catastrophic water leaks and other issues that are costly to repair. If you notice signs of corrosion such as discolored or flaking pipes, it may be time for you to consider repiping your plumbing system.
Discolored Water
The water that comes through your home pipes should be clear and clean. If the water is red, orange, or cloudy in appearance you have an issue in your plumbing system that needs to be addressed by a professional. This can be indicative of a burst pipe that has compromised your plumbing system to the point that repiping services are needed.
Leaky Pipes
A pipe system that frequently has leaks is a sign of a plumbing system that may be in need of repiping. Specifically, any leaks that result in visible signs of water damage are an indicator that repiping may be needed.
Poor Water Pressure.
If your home continuously has poor or weak water pressure, repiping may be the remedy your home’s plumbing system needs. There are a variety of issues that could result in poor water pressure, but if low water pressure is a persistent problem throughout your home, repiping may be what your plumbing system needs.
Unusual Sounds
Your home plumbing system should run quietly in the background of your home. Any banging, knocking, or grinding sounds disseminating from your home plumbing system is cause for concern. In some cases this can only be rectified by repiping your home’s plumbing system.
Regardless of your home plumbing issue at hand, Veteran Air expert technicians will determine your needs before any work is done, so you can make the best decision possible for your family and your Sarasota, FL home.
