Do You Have Pipes That Need Replacing?

It’s not the most exciting upgrade a homeowner can make, but it is a very important one: replacing damaged or bad pipes. The key is hiring a trained, licensed professional for the job. Many online videos make all kinds of plumbing repairs look very easy, but in truth, they are complicated and tend to make for poor DIY choices. The plumbing experts from Bell Plumbing and Heating can replace any and all problematic piping in your home, making your plumbing system efficient and durable.

How Do I Know They Need Replacing?

Some signs are pretty obvious: leaks, excessive corrosion on the outside of a pipe or an actual broken pipe. Other signs are a little less obvious, such as discolored water coming from both taps. If all the water in your home has a brown tinge to it, you likely have rust inside the piping, which is never good. This kind of corrosion will continue to eat away at the pipe until it is replaced. Another reason pipes need to be replaced is if they are made of lead. Typically a professional will need to inspect your piping to tell you this, but if you are informed that you have lead piping, it needs to be replaced with safer pipe immediately. Lastly, poor initial installation may require new piping so that your system works as it should. Problems like recurring leaks and clogs in one particular area of your plumbing can indicate that the initial installation was not performed properly, and the best way to eliminate the recurring problems is to re-pipe the area.

It is important to understand why you need re-piping, but the bottom line is that you need an expert to handle the work. We are those experts, and we can make sure the plumbing system in your Denver home is repiped properly. Call us today!
