Signs Your Pipes Need to Be Replaced
How do you know if it’s time to repipe your home? There are several telltale signs that your pipes are past their prime and could be causing more harm than good. If your home is over 50 years old, or if you’ve noticed recurring issues with your plumbing, it’s worth getting a professional inspection. Look out for these common indicators:
- Rusty colored water
- Abnormal tasting or smelling water
- Frequent leaks or clogs
- Burst pipes
- Water damage
- Low water pressure
- Increased water bills
If you’re experiencing any of these problems, contact Apex Plumbing. We’ll send out one of our experienced plumbers to inspect your pipes and recommend the best solution. If repiping is necessary, we’ll provide you with a clear, no-obligation quote so you can make an informed decision about your home’s plumbing.
Outdated Piping Materials
Depending on the age of your home, your pipes may have been made from materials that are now considered outdated. Older homes often have pipes made from materials that are no longer considered safe or effective. If your house was built before the 1970s, it may still have some of these outdated pipes:
- Lead Pipes: Lead pipes used to be the go-to for plumbing before galvanized pipes took their place. However, they’re now known to be a serious health hazard, especially for children. Lead can leach into your water supply, causing a range of health issues. These pipes were banned in 1986, but the ban didn’t require homes to replace their pipes. If your home still has lead pipes, they should be replaced immediately.
- Galvanized Pipes: Galvanized pipes are pipes made of steel or iron with a protective zinc coating. They used to be the standard for homes built between the 1930s and 1960s. The zinc helps prevent rust, but over time, the coating wears away, leading to corrosion, rust buildup, and eventual leaks or pipe bursts. Typically, galvanized pipes last around 60 to 80 years, but they deteriorate faster in areas with hard water.
Replacement Piping Materials
When it’s time to repipe your home, you have several options to choose from. Each material has its own set of benefits, so it’s important to select the one that suits your needs. One of our expert plumbers can help recommend which material we think is best for your home. Take a look at your options:
- PVC: PVC, also known as polyvinyl chloride, pipes are a popular choice for modern plumbing systems. They’re resistant to rust and corrosion, lightweight, and affordable. PVC pipes can last from 25 to 40 years and are commonly used for drain, waste, and vent lines.
- PEX: PEX is a flexible plastic tubing that’s resistant to corrosion and extreme temperatures. It’s durable, long-lasting (up to 40-50 years), and won’t crack or freeze easily. PEX is an economical option for repiping, but it can become brittle over time if exposed to UV light.
- Copper: Copper pipes are known for their durability and long lifespan of 70 to 80 years. They’re resistant to bacteria growth, making them a reliable choice for both hot and cold water lines. However, copper is the most expensive option and can be more difficult to install.
When you’re ready to repipe your plumbing, contact one of our expert plumbers. At Apex Plumbing, we’ll help you choose the right material for your home and budget, ensuring your new plumbing system meets your needs and exceeds your expectations.
