When it’s time to replace your aging pipes, having the right repipe contractor can mean the difference between a smooth, efficient job and one that requires continuous calls to fix something else that’s gone wrong.

Reasons for Repiping a House

Owning a home means constant maintenance and upkeep, and that includes replacing worn-out parts and systems. However, one system many people ignore is their plumbing because it’s out of sight and out of mind.

Although plumbing systems are generally robust and designed to last for decades, they eventually wear out and require replacing.

It’s natural for homeowners to put off repiping because of the expense and inconvenience, but replacing worn-out plumbing is a smart thing to do, and here’s why.

• Replacing worn-out pipes reduces problems like leaks, persistent clogs, water pressure issues, and discolored water.
• If your home was built over 50 or 60 years ago, chances are the plumbing materials are outdated and possibly corroded.
• Repiping your home increases its value and improves the water quality.

5 Signs It’s Time To Repipe Your Home

The lifespan of plumbing materials varies, but pipes over 50 years old generally probably need replacing. If you’ve dealt with persistent issues like leaks, clogs, and low water pressure, replacing your old plumbing may be the answer

Here are the top five signs you may need to repipe your home.

• Your Pipes are Old The most commonly used plumbing material during the 70s was galvanized steel. Galvanized steel pipes are typically corroded by now and can leak lead into your water supply. If your pipes are past their prime, repiping gives you safer, more reliable plumbing.
• Multiple Leaks Pipes leak for various reasons. If the leak is localized to one area, it’s usually one pipe or joint affected. However, if you have multiple leaks throughout your house, it could be caused by corroded pipes, which need replacing.
• Low Water Pressure If you’ve always had low water pressure or notice it decreasing steadily, it’s usually because your pipes are clogged or leaking because of age.
• Discolored Water Your water’s color says a lot about your pipe’s condition. For example, it’s common for water to turn red or brown when pipes begin to rust, and metal flakes break off into the water supply.
• Noisy Pipes Banging and creaking pipes are common as they age. When this starts happening, it means it’s time to replace them.

If you’ve noticed any of these symptoms, call All Pro Plumbing and let one of our experts inspect your plumbing to see if a whole house repipe is in order.

Things to Ask When Hiring a Repipe Contractor

Repiping your home gives you the chance to fix annoying plumbing issues and add value and functionality to your home. Because repiping is such an extensive undertaking, finding the right company is crucial to give you the best results.

Here are some essential questions to ask before you hire a plumbing company to repipe your home.

• What Materials Do You Use? Not all plumbers are equipped to handle every plumbing job. Some companies specialize in new materials like PEX piping, while others specialize in traditional materials like copper. The takeaway is not to assume anything. The company you choose should be competent in working with what you need.
• What Are Your Credentials? Make sure the company you hire is licensed, insured, and registered. Again, don’t assume anything just because they have a nice website or a few positive online reviews. Ask the company for their credentials, and don’t be afraid to check up on them to verify.
• How Do You Charge? Since repiping a home can be a laborious task, you’ll want a good idea of what it’s going to cost before you pull the trigger. If the plumber charges by the hour, ask them for an estimate. The last thing you need is for a company to charge you by the hour and take longer than expected to drive up the bill. If you can, find a company that charges by the job, so you know exactly what you’re paying.
• Do You Guarantee Your Work? The last thing you need after shelling out hundreds or thousands of dollars on a whole house repipe is having to call the company back time and again to fix problems that should’ve been done right the first time. Ask the company you’re considering if they guarantee their work and if they say no, consider looking elsewhere.
