Signs It’s Time For New Pipes

When the last time you thought about the quality of your plumbing? We know you might be mindful of little leaks here and there — but what about beyond that? The fact of the matter is, your pipes do have a lifespan, and if you are living in an older home, it might be coming sooner than you think. 

To know if it’s time to replace your plumbing, look out for these signs: 

Poor Water Volume

You might be used to low water pressure and volume — but ignoring is doing no good. Reduced water volume can be a sign of a significant build-up and clog, and if not taken care, can potentially lead to a major bust. 

Foul Smelling Water

If you’re noticing a foul smell every time you run water through your pipes, it might be time for a pipe replacement. Bacteria can enter pipes and over time, begin to create that not so pleasant smell. If you are consistently living with smelly water — it might be time for a plumbing upgrade.

Constant Leaks

If you feel like you’re constantly replacing your leaky pipes, there might be a bigger issue at hand. Though it often can be an easy fix, it’s usually a sign of a bigger issue. If you keep ignoring it, you can wind up with a pipe burst and huge flood. 

Discolored Water

That brown tinge in your water is not normal — and is a sign that their maybe corrosion is living inside your pipes. To get the water quality you deserve, you’ll want to look into updating your plumbing system.
