Does Your House Need Repiping?
Your house’s internal plumbing services as a secret highway in your walls and floors, carrying water in and out. So how do you know when it’s time to call Service Minds Benjamin Franklin Plumbing for house repiping in Bradenton, FL?
Signs Your House Needs Repiping
Whole-house repiping is a comprehensive process that replaces all the main water lines in your home with new, durable materials.
You might need Bradenton, FL house repiping if you have:
- Aging pipes: Age is the most common reason for a whole-home repiping in Bradenton, FL. The average home was built in 1964 and that means pipes are about 60 years old for most homes, often made of older materials like copper, once the go-to choice for homebuilders and plumbers, develop pinhole leaks or cracks over time. Galvanized steel pipes, used extensively in older homes, are susceptible to rust and can leach harmful contaminants into the water supply.
- Frequent leaks: Multiple, recurring leaks throughout your house are a strong sign that your entire piping system needs an overhaul. Patching individual leaks might offer temporary relief, but eventually, the entire system will likely require replacement.
- Low pressure: Mineral buildup or corrosion deposits on pipes’ interior walls can reduce water pressure. Repiping with wider-diameter materials can improve water flow to all your fixtures.
- Discolored water: Rusty or opaque water indicates internal pipe corrosion and potential contamination. Repiping ensures a clean, healthy water supply.
