Reasons To Have Your Home's Water Pipes Replaced

Healthier Water For You And Your Family

Over time, the zinc coating designed to protect the interior walls of galvanized pipe degrades, causing corrosion, rust contamination, and unhealthy water. Ingesting iron oxide or rusty water can damage the human body. In large quantities it can lead to upset stomach, metallic taste, skin irritation, redness, rashes and eye irritation.

Greatly Improved Water Pressure

The most common causes of low water pressure are the deterioration and rust build up in water pipes. Even a minimal amount of deterioration can significantly reduce water flow.

Stop Reoccurring Leaks & Repairs

Are you experiencing ongoing leaks and costly repairs? Constant water leaks are not normal. Continuous leaks are usually a sign of imminent failure (major leak) or eventual pipe stroke (no water).

Lack of Hot Water

Hot water is more corrosive than cold water. So the protective zinc coating on the interior of your hot water pipes deteriorates and coordes faster than the cold side. This accelerated corrosion reduces the space inside of the pipe evenutally stopping water flow, otherwise known as “pipe stroke”.

Visible Corrosion on Pipes

Most people never notice the corrosion on the exterior of their pipes. Don’t take our word for it, do you own evaluation. Below you will find example photos of visible corrosion on pipes.

You See Water Discoloration

The color of your water can tell you a lot about the condition of your pipes. For example, if you haven’t used a fixture for several days and you see discolored brown, reddish, or yellow water which eventually turns to clear; it’s a clear indication of advanced corrosion and your pipes are well beyond their life expectancy (30-40 years).

Is Your Home Over 35 Years Old?

If your home is over 35 years old, and you’ve never replaced the water pipes, there a very good chance you need to! Galvanized water pipes were most often installed in homes of this era, and will corrode and fail as they age. Even if you have copper pipes in your home, you may need a repipe.
