Signs You Need Repiping Services in Alexandria, VA
Your home’s piping is a critical aspect of your plumbing system. Unfortunately, it’s often a case of “out of sight, out of mind,” leaving your pipes to deteriorate slowly over the years until they fail completely. Be on the lookout for these signs that you need pipe replacement:
- Aging pipes: The average life span of residential plumbing is 20 to 65 years or more, depending on what material the pipes are made of.
- Low water pressure: Metal piping collects mineral deposits that thicken over time, reducing the water pressure as a result.
- Visible corrosion: Discolored, flaky, or bumpy pipes usually indicate corrosion from the inside out. Replace pipes in this condition before they crack and leak.
- Brown water: Another sign of pipe corrosion is if the water flowing from your tap appears brown or rust-colored.
- Frequent leaks: As they get older, pipes may develop weak spots, especially near the joints, where leaks are likely to form.
- Lead pipes: Lead was once a popular piping material — until the health effects of drinking lead-contaminated water were discovered. Older homes are more likely to have lead pipes or solder.
- Polybutylene pipes: If your home was built before the mid-1990s, it might have polybutylene pipes. While these pipes don’t pose a health concern, you should still replace them, because they become brittle over time, increasing the risk of catastrophic failure.
