Old pipes that have never been replaced are unpredictable and can burst at any moment. Older homes are at a higher risk of bursting pipes than newer ones. There are so many dangers of having older pipes in your plumbing system.
If you are concerned about your pipes, you should call Ethical Plumbing so we can discuss whether or not you should repipe your house. If you choose to replace your piping, you won’t regret it. There are numerous benefits to installing new pipes in your house.
Benefits of Repiping Your House
We understand that repiping can be pricey and time-consuming, but the advantages outweigh the disadvantages by a long shot. Here are a few good things that come from repiping your house.
Increased Water Pressure
Older homes tend to have lower water pressure, especially in the showers. This is probably a result of old pipes being blocked up by sediment and dirt. These blockages increase the chances of burst pipes. By calling Ethical Plumbing, you can get your water pressure back and enjoy a quality shower once again. This will also save time wasted by waiting for water to run into a bath or kitchen sink.
It’s a Good Investment
If your house is on the market, you might have immediately written off the idea to repipe your house. Why replace something if you can’t use it? Well, by repiping your home you add value to it. You will increase the likelihood of selling your house if you show that the pipes are in great shape. Old homes are lovely to buy, but often potential buyers are put off by the older plumbing and electrics as they can be a liability.
If an old pipe should burst and incur terrible water damage to your property, this would lower the value of your property and cost even more to fix. Mold and damp walls might resurface and deter potential buyers.
Consistent Water Temperature
Old pipes can affect the regulating valve on your water heater and cause the temperatures to fluctuate. This is dangerous as water can vary from ice cold to almost boiling. Don’t let your family be caught in a shower with unpredictable temperatures. Call Ethical Plumbing to rectify this before someone gets hurt.
Cleaner Water
You may not notice it when you pour a glass of water, but older pipes result in water with rust and dirt in it. If your water has a strong metallic taste, it’s probably time to replace your pipes. Through the years, your pipes corrode and deposit bits of minerals in your water. Sadly, it is not a good kind of mineral. These tiny pieces of rust end up in your food when you cook. By repiping your house, you can improve water quality for you and your family. We are the best plumbers nearby to repipe your home!
