When Should You Consider Repiping?

Repiping is recommended when the existing pipes in your home or business are more than 20 years old. As pipes age, the inside of the pipe begins to oxidize, which can result in leaks and burst pipes. The older the pipe, the higher the likelihood that it will burst.

Additionally, if your home or business is connected to a municipal water supply that has high levels of contaminants, such as bacteria or high levels of minerals, repiping may be necessary to prevent the pipes from leaking or bursting. The pipes will not be damaged by the contaminants if they are made of a non-corrosive material.

Signs You Need Professional Repiping

There are a few signs that your existing pipes may not be in their best condition. 

These include: 

• Bad tasting and smelling water: When your water supply begins to have an unfamiliar taste (typically of metallic flavor), your pipes are likely beginning to deteriorate and it’s time to consider replacing them. Likewise, foul or earthy odors may indicate deterioration or cracks in your pipes, which will need to be addressed quickly. 
• Noisy pipes: Banging and creaking noises from your water pipes are also a pretty clear indication that your water pipes are beginning to fail. As they age, pipes will begin to fail naturally, and loud noises that did not previously occur are a good way to gauge that it is time to call Route 66 Plumbing for professional help.
• Water temperature problems: Has it been difficult to find a comfortable temperature when turning on your sink or shower? Often when pipes are beginning to fail, they will cause the water from your pipes to not correctly adjust to your desired temperature.
• Corroded pipes: If you suspect that your water pipes may be needing to be replaced, our plumbers can look for any rusting and corrosion. If your pipes are visibly rusting and corroding, this is a sign of age or that they will need to be repiped by the experts at Route 66 Plumbing.
• Leaking pipes: Your pipes can begin to leak due to a number of reasons. If the leak is only in one particular area, the issue is likely just with that particular part. If your pipes are leaking from many different areas, they are beginning to fail and will need to be replaced.
• Water discoloration: One of the biggest red flags in terms of the health of your pipes is if your water is coming out of your faucets discolored. If the water from your sinks and showers is reddish in hue, this is likely to corrosion. Discolored water can also come in tints of black, brown, and yellow. No matter the case, discoloration of any color is usually a direct result of failing water pipes.
• Water pressure issues: Another clear symptom of old or damaged water pipes is inconsistent water pressure. If the water pressure from your faucet or shower begins to decrease over the time in which you are using it, this is usually due to issues with your pipes.
