If you’re considering remodeling your home, you might want to update the plumbing simultaneously. Refrigerators, sinks, garbage disposals, and toilets require hidden pipes, so upgrading your appliances and plumbing in the same project makes sense.
Ethical Plumbing in Greenville County, SC, provides whole house repiping to upgrade and improve your plumbing. With new, high-quality plumbing, your bathroom, kitchen, and laundry room will become more efficient.
As time goes by, the pipes that distribute the water supply to your plumbing fixtures will show signs of aging and wear, which will begin affecting their performance. Simple repairs and spot replacements will no longer be acceptable when this time comes, making upgrading your entire plumbing system the only choice.
Most homeowners are unaware of how to tell the difference between needing a pipe repair and when they need their home repiped. When you need a repipe, spending money on frequent leak repairs is a waste of money.
Here are a few signs that your home may need repiping:
If your home still has old pipes made of unsafe materials, such as lead, you should get them replaced as soon as possible.
Three main factors contribute to you needing to hire repiping specialists.
Galvanized steel pipes were the top choice for water supply lines until the middle of the twentieth century. Galvanized steel is strong, but it begins to weaken from corrosion over time. By 1970, it was no longer the top choice for piping material.
Homes built more than 50 years ago need to be repiped. However, newer homes are still susceptible to piping issues and will eventually need repiping.
Are you constantly calling a plumber to repair your leaky pipes? Have you noticed that your water pressure has decreased? These are issues commonly caused by aging pipes that need to be replaced.
Consider taking the money you spend on frequent repairs and investing it in plumbing services to have new pipes placed in your home.
As water travels through your plumbing, it carries rust and minerals. Over the years, these materials accumulate in your pipes, and the buildup restricts water flow.
It takes quite some time for this buildup to become noticeable. But once you have low water pressure or poor quality water, it’s time to call us to replace your pipes.
If you have frequent plumbing problems, older pipes, or water quality issues, contact one of our experienced plumbers to establish the best solution for your home in Greenville County.
Depending on the size of your home, repiping an entire home may take as little as a few days. Smaller homes may be finished in two days, with larger homes requiring up to a few weeks. But not to worry; you’ll still have access to your plumbing during renovations.
Replacing your current plumbing system with newer, more durable pipes can help you avoid catastrophic damage to your home.
Updated pipes also increase your water pressure, making it much easier to complete the following tasks:
Not only will repiping your home save you time, but it can also save money on your water bill!
Remember those minerals that enter your pipes? They can seep into the water supply you use for cooking, drinking, and brushing your teeth. These minerals might cause your water to have a foul odor or funny taste. New pipes can eliminate these two unpleasant and possibly unhealthy issues.
Older pipes can also cause your water temperature to fluctuate. Sometimes water fluctuations are caused by a faulty water heater. But if your water switches between hot and cold quickly, it’s more likely due to old, rusty pipes. Updating your plumbing can help resolve these problems and keep your family safe from unexpectedly hot water.
When your entire home needs to be repiped, the waste drainage pipes and cold and hot water pipes will be replaced. It’s a significant undertaking and will be one of the most extensive renovation projects most homeowners take on.
Before starting the job, we will thoroughly assess your home to determine the best solution. This solution may be a simple repair for some homes, while others will require upgraded pipes.
Our repiping specialists will decide whether repiping a single area will be sufficient or if your house needs all new pipes. We’ll review the free estimate with you and answer any additional questions you may have.
After the best solution has been determined, our professionals from Ethical Plumbing will begin replacing your plumbing system. We’ll also take appropriate measures to protect your home. For example, sheets of plastic will be used to protect your furniture and other belongings.
During repiping, a hole is cut into the wall so the pipes can be accessed. Once new ones have been installed, we will patch and repaint any openings in the wall to restore your home to its previous condition.
If you’re considering selling your home, then repiping may be a rewarding task. Older plumbing is a liability on the housing market. A potential buyer may pass over a house without updated piping in favor of a newer model.
Outdated pipes can break, causing leaks and water damage that isn’t immediately noticeable. Replacing older pipes lessens the chances of a plumbing disaster that could decrease the value of your home.
Upgrading your plumbing can increase the market value of your house, making it more appealing to potential buyers. It allows you to increase your asking price, giving you a better return on investment.
