If you’re reading this article, chances are you’ve dealt with your share of plumbing problems or repairs in your Vista home. Pipe leaks can often result in a multitude of problems including high water bills, water damage, structural damage to your home, and others. Depending on the age of your North County home & past experiences due to plumbing issues, it may be cost-effective to hire us for your whole-house repipe in Vista. Here are some examples of when it’s best to hire a plumber for a whole-house repipe:
Multiple Repairs:
When it comes to repiping services, the severity of the plumbing issue is often related to how much of the pipe needs to be replaced. For example, if the leak is isolated to one small section of a water line in your home, it’s often best to just replace that pipe. A partial replacement may be valid when the issue is somewhat larger but does not warrant a full re-pipe. However, if you’ve hired a plumber multiple times for a single or partial replacement, it may quickly become more cost-effective to have a whole-house repipe done in your home.
Old Pipes:
If your home is over 40 years old or was built using certain materials such as Polybutylene for your water lines, it may be particularly susceptible to breaking down. This includes rusty copper pipes, pinhole leaks in Poly pipes, cracks, & others that may result naturally from age. Oftentimes, these older materials show signs of problems earlier in homes that suffer from particularly hard water. A complete home water softener system can help combat this issue, and help prolong the life of your water lines.
Low Pressure:
If you notice particularly low water pressure in multiple areas of your home, this can be a result of pipes that have acquired scale from hard water, weakened from decades of use & others including small unnoticeable leaks.
Pipe Corrosion:
As previously mentioned, pipe corrosion can occur both inside and outside your water lines. Outside it can look rusty or corroded. Inside it can result in brown or yellowed in color, resulting in bad tasting and smelly water. If this occurs it can be harmful to your health over time and is a great reason for a whole-house repipe service.
Having an inspection of your home’s plumbing pipes is very beneficial and can be a cost-effective way to rid your house of leaks, clogs & other issues that result. A plumbing professional will be able to determine if a complete re-pipe of your North County home is worth it.
