There may come a time that, sooner or later, you will do a home repipe in San Diego. Repiping means replacing a single pipe or the entirety of your home’s plumbing system, covering the water supply pipes and drain lines. Indeed, such a project is worth the investment in the long run because it will address the root cause of recurring plumbing problems in your home that drain your money.
Here are some signs that you may need home repipe in San Diego:
The pipes are deemed old or unsafe.
If your property is several decades old, its plumbing system may be close to or past its useful life. Thus, it needs a thorough inspection to determine whether a repipe is necessary. While each plumbing system is different, in general, and depending on the materials used, 30 to 50-year-old or older pipes need a thorough inspection. Old age is one of the reasons why a plumbing system does not work well as expected.
You notice multiple leaks – and recurring.
Having multiple leaks is another strong indication your plumbing system needs repiping. An attempt to weld or patch a leak may only work in the short term, then the problem persists, putting your money and effort to waste. Multiple leaks could mean the quality of the plumbing material has already deteriorated – as opposed to a random leak caused by something else.
Discoloration in water.
Water discoloration is also a warning sign of the severity of your plumbing system. If you notice water that turns yellow, brown, or red color, that signals rust eating into the pipe or a sediment buildup inside. A plumbing contractor that uses a special camera can pinpoint the root cause of discoloration, but it is likely because of old pipes that need replacement.
