3 Signs a Plumber Should Repipe Your Home

Poor Water Pressure

If your faucets’ water volume, or the amount of water flowing out of the faucet,  is consistently low, it could be due to a blockage in your pipes caused by heavy rust accumulation. As blockage of this caliber occurs gradually over time, decreasing volume is a warning sign that water flow has been restricted, and your pipes will need replacing in the near future.

Discolored or Metallic Tasting Water

If your piping lines are suffering from heavy corrosion, it’s easy for pieces of rust to detach and settle into your water supply. This issue is not only a put off for many homeowners, but it can be potentially harmful to your family if left untreated.

Numerous Pipe Leaks

If you experienced three or more pipe leaks in the past six months, it’s likely time to call your plumber. While occasional leaks are normal, regular and consistent issues are not and signal pipe corrosion, which can become a significant expense if problems are serviced piecemeal. Signs of leaky pipes include spiked water bills showing high consumption, without the higher usage of water; lower than normal water volume; spotty unusually healthy green grass ares; sounds of running water when water not in use etc.
