Do you remember the last time your house was repiped? If the answer is “No,” you might be living with old and corroded pipes. In that case, you’ll need a plumber to replace the bad pipes entirely.
Corrosion is a force of nature that’s unavoidable for most kinds of pipes. When left unchecked, corrosion can affect everything from your water’s flow to the taste and color. At worst, it can create leaks that will cost thousands of dollars in damage.
Corrosion is most common in the inside of the pipe, where you won’t be able to see it. But even if you can’t see it, there are a few signs that can help you find out if your home needs repiping.
