In most buildings, much of the plumbing system is hidden inside the walls, which means it’s not easily accessible. Because of this, the pipes need to be built to last a long time, as repairs will be difficult to execute. Sooner or later, though, your building will need pipe replacement services, and when that time comes, you can turn to our team at Anytime Plumbing & Solutions. In this article, we’ll go over a few signs that it’s time for a pipe replacement.
- Leaks – One sign you might need pipe replacement services is that your pipes are developing a leak. In some cases, the pipes may only need to be tightened, or a connection might need to be replaced, but if the pipe itself is cracked, then it needs to be replaced.
- Rusty Water – Another sign you need pipe replacement is the water from your taps becoming discoloured. If the water from your faucets starts to take on a rusty hue, then it means your pipes have likely become corroded and will need to be replaced. Our team has the right experience to check your pipes to find the source of the corrosion and provide the solutions you need.
- Material – Lastly, you will need pipe replacement services if your pipes are made of lead. While the pipes may work fine, lead pipes are a serious health hazard because lead will leach into the water as it flows through them. Ingesting water contaminated with lead has serious health consequences, so if you have lead pipes in your building, we encourage you to make pipe replacement an urgent priority.
