If you are in need of plumbing in Lubbock, our services such as updating or replacing the pipes in your home, can keep everything running smoothly. After many years of use, the pipes in your house, especially older, galvanized pipes, will gradually corrode, rust, and decay. Pipe deterioration is also accelerated if the pipes have never been maintained. If you have constant leaks in and around your home or experience problems with your water pressure, chances are the pipes in your home are outdated and need to be replaced. Avoiding this, could lead to a disastrous water intrusion that will cause thousands of dollars in damage to your property and belongings. Signs Of Trouble Older homes, especially those built in the 60s and earlier were often built with galvanized pipes. Over the years, galvanized pipes tend to corrode and become plugged, to the point where the space left for water to flow through may be only a tiny fraction of the original diameter of the pipe. This will, obviously, significantly reducing the water pressure in your home. Homes built earlier than 1986 are also likely to have lead pipes, fixtures, and solder. Lead poisoning can cause developmental issues in infants and children, and adults can experience increases in blood pressure or possibly kidney damage. If your house is more than sixty years old, we highly recommended that one of our professional plumbers do an annual inspection of the pipes in your home. This includes checking any exposed piping in your home’s basement, crawlspace, or utility room for possible signs of trouble. If any of the piping shows signs of discoloration, stains, dimpling, pimples, or flaking, it may mean that the tubing is corroded. Water leaks are another clear sign of trouble. If you have experienced sporadic leaks in various parts of your home, even small leaks that are easily repaired, it may be an indication that the time for a whole-house pipe replacement is approaching. It is important to realize that all the other pipes in your home are likely to be made of the same material as the pipes that are leaking, and have been subjected to the same water source and patterns of use. Small leaks are very often an indication of a much bigger problem, and usually mean it is time to change your water lines by calling us for plumbing in Lubbock. Old water pipes can also rust, which can severely impact the quality of water that you receive. A clear indication of rust from decaying pipes is when the water in your bathtub is yellowish or a light brown. Signs of rust in the water is especially noticeable after taking a vacation that is when the water has been sitting in the pipes for a while. If left untreated, rust can cause hard water problems and cause the drinking water in your home to taste awful.
