Piping & Repiping Services

If you’ve noticed a leaky pipe or other issue, your piping may have become damaged by:

• Corrosion: Every pipe material will eventually degrade. Rust and other corrosion slowly eats away at the material until water escapes through small holes or the entire pipe collapses. Pipes laid decades ago are more susceptible than materials used today. Chemicals, minerals, and imbalanced water pH can speed up the process.
• High Water Pressure: While higher water pressure may be better for cleaning and showering, it can stress the inside of pipes. Excess pressure can cause sporadic leaks or cause a pipe to burst. If you notice leaks immediately after use, call a plumber to test the pipe/water pressure and adjust the system if necessary.
• Damaged Seals: Rubber seals are important parts of your plumbing system. When intact, they provide watertight connections. A dry, cracked, crumbled, or otherwise degraded seal can allow water to seep through, resulting in water damage.
• Damaged Connections: Pipes and your entire home can shift over time, whether due to erosion, flooding, earthquakes, or foundation issues. This can cause pipe connections to break and unleash a major home catastrophe.
• Persistent Clogs: If your drains keep getting clogged, it may seem like a minor nuisance. However, blockages put pressure on your plumbing system, while chemical drain cleaners can accelerate the damage by eating through pipes.

There are several symptoms that can tell you it’s time to call a plumber. Pipe repair or replacement may be necessary if you notice the following:

• Low pressure from your faucets: Severe corrosion and blockages can reduce water output.
• Extreme water temperature fluctuations: Hot water lines tend to deteriorate faster, and debris tends to lodge in anti-scalding devices first.
• Discolored water: Flakes of corroded metal from inside pipe creates a brown or red tint in the water you use.
• Noise: Screeches, clicks, moans, and thuds mean your pipes and fixtures aren’t working as designed or there are abnormal pressure changes.
• You can’t use more than one fixture at a time: The shower becomes scalding when the toilet flushes, or using two or more fixtures simultaneously causes problems

Signs of a slab leak, such as moisture in your basement, can indicate a pipe problem as well.

Homeowners are often hesitant to proceed with inspecting and repairing their pipes. It helps to know the advantages of a renovation or simple repair and the more serious issues it can avoid. Repiping your home does not have to be stressful or overly expensive. The benefits of repiping include:

• Affordability: Trenchless piping requires minimal digging and labor, and the results are lasting, saving you in the long run.
• Minimal disruption: New technologies, including trenchless methods and cured-in-place pipes, effectively fix the damage and restore your plumbing.
• Speed: Modern repiping can often be completed in a few hours, especially when you avoid lengthy processes such as digging and excavation.
• Resolves many issues: Corrosion, cracking, and plant penetration can be addressed with pipe replacement.
• Longevity: Newer pipes can last longer; pipes replaced using trenchless methods can last as long as 50 years.
