Bow Mar Pipe Repair Experts
Your plumbing system contains various pipes, including water supply lines, drain lines, a sewer line, and possibly gas lines. These pipes can be made from different materials, such as PVC, PEX, copper, and cast iron. Each material has its own lifespan, impacting the frequency of pipe repair service.
There are various indicators that you need professional pipe repair:
- Slow or no draining
- Water leakage
- Foul odors
- Visible corrosion
- Low water pressure
- Discolored water
- Gurgling sounds
If you notice anything unusual with your plumbing, promptly evaluate it with one of our plumbers. The sooner you repair the issue, the less extensive the damage will be, which translates to a lower repair bill. Sometimes, a simple fix, like tightening loose connections, can solve the problem.
Some situations require complete pipe replacement. During home renovations, homeowners should consider repiping to ensure long-term plumbing reliability. As plumbers, we frequently repipe kitchens, bathrooms, and utility rooms by replacing outdated or corroded pipes with modern, durable materials like PEX or copper. This option particularly benefits homes with older cast iron, lead, or aluminum piping, which can cause issues like corrosion that leads to leaks.
Repiping prevents future leaks, improves water pressure, and accommodates new fixtures or layouts. Renovations provide the perfect opportunity to access walls and floors, making the repiping process more efficient and less disruptive. This investment protects your home for years to come.
Homes using hard water, like the moderately hard water some houses here in Bow Mar experience, will have pipes that wear out faster. Over time, excessive minerals like magnesium and calcium can corrode the inside of metal pipes. As the interior degrades, rust particles may leak into your water, causing reddish or brown discoloration.
Limescale build-up also restricts water flow, leading to low water pressure. Replacing corroded pipes is the best way to restore your normal water pressure and ensure safe tap water for your entire family.
