5 Serious Plumbing Signs Any Homeowner Should Be Aware Of
Your plumbing should last for decades if it is cared for properly and the pipes are of high-quality material. However, the time comes for even the most well-maintained systems, and they have to be replaced eventually. Other homes may need repiping earlier than expected because of neglect or problems with the water.
So how do you know it’s time for your home to get a repipe? Here are a few critical indications that a call to a repiping company in Orange County may be in your future
Discolored Water
Water shouldn’t have a color. It should be completely clear, and it shouldn’t have any odor – which indicates that it is fresh and healthy. If you notice that your water had a tinge to it – often red, brown or yellow – or that it has a bad odor, that’s a good indication that there are contaminants in your water. The problem could be caused by your water source, but it could also be caused by corrosion or breaks in your plumbing line. You may need repiping.
Noisy Pipes
Creaking, pinging, and clanking are all some of the noises you may hear from your pipes when they are suffering from corrosion and water pressure problems (sometimes also caused by corrosion and sometimes by leaks). Pay close attention to any strange sounds you hear coming from the walls or floors. Schedule an inspection with an Orange County repiping plumber to find out if the noises are coming from your pipes and if they indicate the need for repiping.
Recurring Leaks
Every plumbing system might suffer a leak at some point. But if your plumbing seems to be sprouting a leak with any regularity, that’s a sign that your plumbing system is failing and likely needs replacing. A San Diego repiping plumber can recommend a material that will withstand the unique challenges your home faces, such as hard water, extreme temperatures in the climate, and so on. With the right piping material, you can avoid a lot of future problems with your plumbing and save money on repairs.
Visible Corrosion
Metal pipes are especially susceptible to corrosion because of the oxidation process. The pipes may get a build-up of sediment and other material, or they may become rusted through. If this happens, there is no way to clean the pipes and restore them. The corroded pipes just have to be replaced. However, corroded pipes rarely live in isolation. Where there is one, there are likely many, and that means that you likely need repiping.
Poor Performance
You may experience a variety of other problems with your San Diego plumbing. You may have an inconsistent water pressure or the water might not stay the same temperature. These are problems that may be caused by corrosion or sediment buildup – both of which indicate a more serious, systemic problem. You may be able to get away with a repipe repair for the short term, but you can count on needing to invest in repiping not long after.
Without vigilance, you may not realize that your plumbing system is aging and decaying behind those walls and under those floors. You need to pay close attention to the signs that indicate what may be happening with your plumbing behind the scenes. Otherwise, you may have a plumbing disaster that will result in serious damage to your pipes or your home. Always call a repiping plumber in San Diego when you notice these or other signs that there might be trouble with your pipes. The sooner you invest in a repipe when you need one, the more you can save yourself on unnecessary repairs.
