Making sure your pipes and fixtures are properly maintained is an important part of the health of your home. Faulty plumbing can not only be expensive, but can also leave you and your family uncomfortable in your home. In this post, we’ll look at a few signs that you might have damaged pipes in need of replacement.
WALL OR CEILING STAINS
Since pipes are typically behind walls or in ceilings, it can be tough to identify when there’s a problem. But one telltale sign is water stains in walls or ceilings. If a pipe breaks, or there are other leaks, these spots will tell you exactly where to look. If you see water spots, you should contact an expert immediately to diagnose and fix the problem. Spots left unchecked can lead to major damage to your home.
LEAKS
Maybe a pipe hasn’t burst completely, causing obvious stains, but there are leaks in the joints. Especially with older pipes, a small amount of water can seep out, causing major issues over time. If you spot any sort of leak, get it checked out right away.
FLAKING OR OTHER AGING
Sometimes, just looking at your pipes may show wear-and-tear. If there is a leak, you’ll be able to tell because of corrosion or flaking of the pipes. Corrosion is common when the acidity of water eats away at the pipe’s tubing. Pipes that are flaking or dimpling are also damaged. An experienced plumber like those at Trenchless Replacement Specialists will be able to tell you the exact problem, and whether the pipes should be replaced.
