Often times, owning an older home means dealing with older fixtures, including plumbing and pipes. Just as with other things in your home, pipes can deteriorate over time and require replacement. While repiping isn’t necessary often, if you have an older home that hasn’t been upgraded, chances are you’ll need to do it soon. This is especially true if the pipes in your home are 60 years older or more. At Puget Sound Plumbing and Heating, we can help you upgrade your home with our repiping services in Seattle, WA and the surrounding areas. Please reach out to us today to schedule our services at your home.
Just like many other components in your home, your pipes will not last forever. Unfortunately, this means repiping is necessary when your home reaches a certain age. Over the years, your pipes undergo a lot of wear and tear. Not to mention that today’s plumbing needs are much different than that of generations past. Repiping is a natural upgrade your home will inevitably have to undergo. It’s often needed for one or both of the following reasons:
It can be easy to ignore the needs of your home and put off repiping. Many homeowners may find themselves doing this because they are afraid of the cost of replacing all the pipes in their homes. But the truth is putting off this important task could end up costing you more money in the long run. Old pipes that fail could cause expensive damages to your home interior, so it’s usually best to replace your pipes before this becomes an issue. You should look for common signs that your home is in need of repiping services to help you identify when it’s time to call a professional. A repipe may be necessary if:
Perhaps one of the best things about updating your pipes and replumbing your home is the potential savings you could see. If your pipes are old or they aren’t equipped to handle the requirements of modern plumbing, you likely need frequent services from a plumber. You may be calling a plumber regularly to fix leaks or unclog drains, and the problems just continue to come back. All these service calls add up, leaving you spending hundreds of dollars to maintain a failing system. Rather than throw this money away, why not update your home to prevent such issues from occurring? Though replacing your pipes will come with an upfront cost, you will no longer have to pay for frequent repairs, which will save you money in the long run.
When you upgrade your house plumbing, you have the option to use galvanized or copper piping. At Puget Sound Plumbing and Heating, we highly recommend using copper piping when you repipe your home. Many homes often use iron piping, but this isn’t the best choice as iron can wear out due to rusting. When the iron pipes rust, it can lead to weakened pipes that could leak or burst. Failing iron pipes can also lead to health concerns as rust can get into your drinking supply. On the flip side, copper piping does not have these issues and is also incredibly efficient, helping you save money. Making sure your plumbing system is ready to handle all the modern needs of your family is essential to the functionality of your home, and copper plumbing is an excellent way to do so. Though copper pipe prices are slightly higher than other materials, the extra investment is worth it.
