When to Ask for Pipe Repair
There are plenty of signs that a home’s pipes need some attention. Many people request repair work once they notice signs of leaks. Water leaks may show up as stains on walls, ceilings, or floors. You could also notice a musty smell because a leak fosters mold growth. Unsurprisingly, many leaks appear near plumbing fixtures, such as sinks, toilets, and showers. You might also see signs of leaks near appliances that have water lines, such as a refrigerator or dishwasher.
Another common sign that repairs may be necessary is discolored water from the taps. As corrosion builds up, the water could turn redder. Mineral scaling inside the lines can reduce water pressure, too. The lines also could get noisy as the pressure builds up and then releases. While people in South Carolina don’t always think about burst pipes, it only takes one cold snap to cause serious problems.
Homeowners may also want to consider signs that pipe replacement could be the better choice.
Cracked or split lines
Visible corrosion
Damaged fittings or connections
High projected repair cost
Recurring issues
You should also look at the age of the lines before deciding between repair and replacement. Most materials last between 50 and 70 years. If the lines are older than that, then it may be time for a replacement. You may also want to replace the lines if you’re unsure how old the pipes are. Many people redo the pipes completely when they move into a house just to be sure.
