Signs Your Pipes May Need Repair
There are several signs that your pipes may need repair.
Here are some of them:
Cracks: If you see water coming out of a pipe or notice water damage on your walls or ceiling, it could be a sign of a cracked pipe.
Leaks: A plumbing pipe doesn’t have to be cracked to leak. If you notice water stains on your walls or ceiling, it could be a sign of a leaky pipe.
Corrosion: If you notice that your pipes are always clogging up on you, it could be a sign of corrosion.
Discolored water: If your water is brown, yellow, red, or orange, your pipes may be rusted and corroded and need replacing.
Decreased water pressure: If you notice that your water pressure has decreased significantly over time, it could be a sign of a blockage or other issue with your pipes.
Dangerous materials: If your pipes are made from dangerous materials like lead, you should replace them immediately.
Old age: Pipes can last for decades but eventually they will wear out and need replacing. If your pipes are more than 50 years old, it’s probably time to replace them.
