5 Star Service
If you have any doubts about whether or not the pipes at your home need to be replaced, it’s best to call for professional plumbing services. A trained plumber can quickly identify and fix the problem before it becomes worse than it already is and start saving both time and money by preventing further problems from arising in the future. However, here are some tips that will help you identify if your pipes are having issues and need a replacement!
Corroded pipes
If you notice that your water pressure is low, and it’s not because of a burst pipe or clog in the line, chances are that corrosion may be to blame. Corrosion is caused by a combination of water and other liquids in pipes over time. The more liquid there is in a pipe, the faster it will corrode (this includes hard water).
Clogged or damaged pipes
Clogged or damaged pipes can also cause low water pressure. If you’ve noticed that your shower is taking longer than normal to heat up, or if you are experiencing a sudden drop in your sink faucet flow, this could be an indication that there is a clog somewhere in the system. The easiest way to avoid these types of issues is by using a snake-like tool (also known as a “plumber’s snake”) to clear any debris that may have accumulated within the plumbing system.
If this doesn’t work, it might be time for more drastic measures: Remove all fixtures from the wall and try pushing them back into place while turning on each one with the water running until they move freely without slowing down the stream at all. Please note that a plumber can help you fix this without any further risks!
Leaking faucet or toilet
When you have a leaky faucet, it’s easy to tell that the water is going somewhere it shouldn’t be. You may notice water pooling on your floor or perhaps see a drip coming from the spigot itself. While this problem may seem obvious, there are other signs of leaks that people often miss:
- A low-pressure reading on your water meter
- Frequent high water bills (this could be due to other issues as well)
- A wet spot in your yard or basement where you don’t know how it got there
Corrosion can lead to leaks and cracks in pipes—which could lead to flooding or other problems—and it can also cause clogs if the corrosion builds up enough around everything else going through those pipes as well.
