When Is It Time for Whole-House Repiping?
If you are thinking about repiping your home, chances are there’s an issue with your pipes. Most pipes can be repaired or salvaged when smaller, isolated problems arise. However, if a leak occurs in more than one place it may be time to repipe your entire home. If damage such as a clog, leak, or burst has occurred, replacing the pipes will eliminate the problem and give you a fresh start.
You may need repiping if signs of deterioration are present. These include:
- Water Discoloration: You can tell a lot about the condition of your pipes by looking at the color of your water. If your water gradually clears when you turn it on, there is most likely damage or corrosion on the inside of your pipe.
- Noisy Pipes: Creaking and loud banging noises are a common sound when the pipes in your home are older and require replacement.
- Low Water Pressure: If you notice the pressure in your water is low during a shower or when using the sink, chances are your pipes are clogged with rust or other minerals.
- Leaky Pipes: When pipes corrode, they tend to leak. With leaky pipes comes poor water quality, black mold, flooding, and stained walls.
It is easy to ignore minor issues associated with your home pipes, especially since most homeowners can’t see their piping system. Repiping an entire home can seem like a pain, but it will save you a lot of time and money that would otherwise be spent consistently repairing faulty pipes, or worse, dealing with the expensive effects of water damage on your floors and walls. Take initiative and call our specialists for prompt plumbing repairs if you suspect any of the above warning signs.
Frozen Pipe Prevention & Repair
There are many steps a homeowner can take to protect themselves from frozen and burst pipes. It can be helpful to:
- Keep the home warm: Maintaining a temperature of at least 60 degrees inside the home can help prevent frozen pipes.
- Open sink cabinets: Leaving sink cabinets open allows more warm airflow to the pipes.
- Wrap pipes with insulation: Adding insulation around the pipes can help keep heat in the line.
- Keep your faucets at a trickle: Letting a trickle of water run through faucets can prevent pipes from freezing.
If your pipes do freeze, it’s important to stay calm. If possible, turn off the water at the burst pipe or shut off the water for the whole house. Then, remove valuables from the area and clean up the water. Finally, be sure to call a pro for proper repairs.
