Fast And Reliable Repiping Services From Lion Home Service
A complete pipe replacement, or repiping, is sometimes necessary for old and malfunctioning plumbing systems. Aging and exposure naturally impact your pipes over time, but some materials are more susceptible to corrosion, like galvanized steel. If you last scheduled a plumbing service a while ago, you might not be aware of your system’s current condition. But at Lion Home Service, we can help inspect your plumbing and bring it up to code. If our assessment reveals deteriorating and damaged pipes, you can rely on our repiping services for help. Old, corroded lines can introduce harmful substances into your plumbing system and water supply. So if you suspect piping problems at home, don’t hesitate to call our specialists for a potential repiping appointment.
The Importance Of A Repipe
Most plumbers install pipes consisting of material that can last for years, even decades. But older commercial and residential lines need a repipe to continue functioning. Old piping, left unchecked, can lead to the following issues:
- Leaks and water damage
- Fire risks
- Sewage backups
- Rising utility bills
- Lead poisoning
- And more
As you can see, a repipe is essential for outdated plumbing systems. Otherwise, the above problems can wreak havoc on your home or business, not to mention your family. But you can turn to Lion Home Service to avoid these risks. Our plumbers offer cost-effective repipe services backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee. And when we work on your lines, we use high-quality replacement materials that last. So you can expect a comprehensive, thoroughly planned pipe replacement with the help of our team. We want to ensure your new system is safe, up-to-date, and ready to meet your needs.
When To Call Our Repipe Specialists
During an inspection, our repipe specialists will examine the state of your lines and determine if they need replacement. Some issues, like small leaks, can be fixed with quick repairs. But signs of extensive damage, corrosion, and aging are more suited to repiping. So let’s review some of those signs:
- Rusty or brown water: As pipes age, they can rust and corrode, discoloring your water. As a result, your water may be unsafe to drink and have an unusual taste or smell.
- Recurring leaks: Frequent, widespread pipe leaks can indicate a problem with your entire plumbing system, while individual leaks are only specific to one problem area. If you’re dealing with the former, you may need a repiping service.
- Low water pressure: Leaky pipes and mineral buildup impacts water flow through your pipes, resulting in water pressure issues at home.
- Aging pipes: Older homes tend to have galvanized plumbing that rusts and corrodes over time. If your galvanized pipes are over 50 years old, ensure their safety with an inspection.
Do You Need A Galvanized Pipe Replacement?
Many homes built before 1960 used galvanized steel as piping material. At the time, galvanization improved durability and kept steel intact. However, today’s plumbers no longer use this material, opting for superior materials like copper. That’s because galvanized steel develops rust, corrosion, and leaking problems over time, endangering your plumbing system and water supply. So if you live in an older home with galvanized plumbing, consider scheduling a galvanized pipe replacement with Lion Home Service. The health problems and expenses attached to galvanized steel pipes aren’t worth risking.
