Home Repiping and What You Should Know
Repiping your home is one of the most important renovation tasks you probably don’t think about very often. We recommend this if you’re experiencing numerous pipe difficulties and want to restore the integrity of your plumbing infrastructure.
When to Repipe Your Home
What are the telltale signs that it’s time to consider repiping your home?
- You’ve had to contact a plumber for emergency help more than once in the last year.
- You suspect that your home still has lead pipes. Lead pipes are unsafe and against almost every plumbing code. However, if you have an older home (built prior to the 1920s), there’s a chance that some of your pipes may be lead-based.
- Your home uses galvanized-steel pipes. While these are not as detrimental as lead pipes, they can be a problem because they tend to corrode faster than other materials. If that happens, you could notice metal flakes in your water.
- Your plumbing gets really noisy, the water appears stained, or your walls and ceiling look stained.
- You have other projects in mind. Sometimes, the process of redoing a bathroom or kitchen fixture makes you realize that it’s time to update your pipes to make everything congruent throughout the plumbing system.
These are just a few reasons to think about repiping your house. This is a job that typically lasts anywhere from a couple of days up to a week, usually depending on the size of your home.
