How and Why You Should Repipe Your Home
Along with everything else in your home, your pipes age over time. They may be leaking or will leak in the future. Most homes have the old Galvanized pipes running through their homes that are notorious for rusting. Galvanized pipes should always be replaced due to the fact that you either already have rust in your pipelines, or at some point, will develop rust that will eventually make its way into your home through your plumbing and water. This can be very problematic. We can help you with our repiping services.
How Do You Know If You Need to Repipe Your Home?
Aside from the need to replace Galvanized pipes, other ways to know if your pipes are in need of replacing is to check for rusting in anything that uses water: the washer, refrigerator dispenser, showers and tubs, and your toilet. If you begin to see signs of rusting, your pipes have already begun to disperse that rust into your home, which can be damaging to your appliances and sinks, and tubs.
Has the water flow pressure changed in your faucets? Old pipes, especially those developing rust in them, will slow the flow of water. You may think your showerheads are to blame when actually, the pipes delivering the water are the culprit.
Have you noticed leaks in your home that you aren’t sure where they are coming from? Leaks are a nightmare to homeowners and can cause severe destruction to the structures of the home: floors, walls, and belongings. Before the leaks start, you should have your home repiped.
How Long Does It Take to Repipe a Home?
Repiping a home is not a long process. Trained professionals with experience in repiping homes are efficient in getting even large homes repiped in short periods of time. Many homes can be completely repiped in a 2-3 day window. During the process, you will be without water for only the hours they are working on the piping system, but will have the water turned back on at the end of each day for your usage.
Why Should I Hire a Regular Plumber to Repipe Your Home?
Plumbers are experts at repiping entire plumbing systems. They do not require multiple contractors to get the job done and will typically cost you less money for the job. You will also get the company’s warranty on all the products and work they do, which is a great safety net and reassurance for the homeowner.
