Repiping Services

There are some instances when a repipe should be done instead of a pipe repair or replacement. Here are some signs that a whole-house repipe is in order:

1. You’ve had to repair multiple leaks.

It’s perfectly normal to have an occasional pipe leak, but if leaks are occurring one after another, it’s time to consider a repipe. While the cost of a repipe might seem steep at first, it’s much more affordable than having to repair your pipes over and over again.

2. You live in an older home.

If your home is more than 50 years old, it’s likely that your pipes were made from galvanized steel. Galvanized steel is a strong, thick material, but it tends to wear down and corrode around the 50-year mark. Be proactive and consider a repipe if your pipes are getting close to their fifth decade.

3. Rust has accumulated in your pipes.

Eventually, rust, minerals, and other sediments will build up in your pipes, which can cause low water pressure and discolored water. If red or brown water is coming out of your faucet, it’s a sure sign that your pipes are rusting. Rust impacts the quality of your water and makes your pipes more susceptible to cracking as they corrode over time. It’s best to get a repipe before you have a plumbing disaster on your hands.
