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.

How Does Home Repiping Work?

Rest assured that we make the process as easy as possible. Here’s how repiping works:

  • Begin by scheduling an appointment with Caffi Services. We work around your busy schedule to set a convenient appointment time. To make sure you’re not left waiting on us, our plumbers will call you when they’re on their way, so you know right when to expect them.
  • Choose a repipe option. We’ll inspect your home and the condition of your plumbing. Using our extensive knowledge and experience, we’ll recommend the top replacement piping options and their associated cost estimates.
  • Have your house repiped. We know that replacing your pipes can be inconvenient. That’s why we work hard to complete the job quickly and professionally. Be aware that repiping may take longer if you live in a multistory house with lots of bathrooms and a crawl space (as opposed to a slab foundation).
  • Tell us how we did. We love getting customer feedback! Please let us know if we met your needs or what we could do to improve. If you have any complaints, we’ll set things right before we deem the job complete.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often do pipes need to be replaced?

The answer to that question depends completely on what type of pipe material your house has. Brass, cast iron, and galvanized steel have a life span of 80 to 100 years, copper lasts 70 to 80 years, and PVC piping only survives for 24 to 45 years.

Does homeowners insurance cover pipe replacement?

Homeowners insurance in some cases, may help cover damage caused by leaking plumbing if the leak is sudden and accidental, for example, if your sink pipe suddenly bursts.

How do you stop pipes from bursting?

There are plenty of ways to stop pipes from bursting such as:

  1. Direct Warm Air To Cold Areas Of Your Home
  2. Keep Your Faucet Running Water
  3. Disconnect Your Hose From The Outside Faucet
