The Importance of Proper Piping
Proper piping is vital for the safe, efficient transportation of fresh water and wastewater. If you have old, damaged pipes, your home can become inhabitable because the showers, sinks, faucets, toilets, washing machines, and other fixtures won’t work properly.
When you have the right pipes installed, you can rest assured that your plumbing system is providing fresh water and carrying away waste water efficiently. Plus, you’ll protect your home against potentially catastrophic leaks that can cause extensive damage to the structure and your personal property. Â
Some of the many benefits you’ll enjoy when you repipe your home include:
- Improved water pressure
- Increased property value
- Improved water quality
- Lower utility bills
- Enhanced protection against leaks
5 Signs a Home May Need Repiping Services
Because most of your pipes are hidden below floors or behind walls, it’s a good bet you can’t see the true condition of most of your pipes. So, it’s important to consider the signs that it’s time to repipe your home rather than rely solely on visual inspections.
If you notice any of the following, it may be time to consider repiping services for your Seattle home.
- Water discoloration: Rust-colored water points to corrosion within the pipes.
- Smelly water: Odd-smelling water can indicate pipe damage that’s allowing foreign substances or bacteria to enter the water line.
- Low water pressure: Low pressure can be caused by sediment buildup, corrosion, or leaks within the pipe.
- Leaks: Over time, seals and valves can fail, corrosion can eat through pipes, and other damage can cause pipes to leak.
- Age: If you live in an older home (50+ years), it’s a safe bet that the pipes are nearing the end of their expected serviceable lifespan.
The Repiping Process
Our thorough approach helps ensure the repiping process is completed as quickly as possible — with minimal disruption to your routine. We begin by thoroughly inspecting your home and developing a plan that will allow us to swiftly remove the existing pipes while minimizing dust/debris. We’ll also determine which types of pipes are best for your needs and budget.Â
Our team will schedule the repiping at a convenient time for you. We’ll prepare the required work areas by protecting carpet, flooring, and furniture, and then we’ll make small cuts where required to remove and replace your old pipes with new ones. Our technicians strive to complete the repiping process using the fastest, least invasive method possible.
Finally, once the pipes are tested and everything falls within the expected parameters, we’ll repair and patch the drywall to look as close as possible to what it was before the process.
