Damaged or problematic pipes can cause many issues for both your water bills and your home. It’s important to resolve the issues as soon as you notice them. However, you will have to choose between a pipe repair and replacement. Fortunately, you can rely on us at Wake Forest Plumbing Company to help make sure you make the right decision for your property and pipes.
Here are a few tips on how you can determine whether you might need a repair or replacement for your pipes:
- Consider the age of your pipes: If you have older pipes in an older home, they might be at the end of their lifespan or potentially clogging with corrosion from the older pipe materials. When this is the case, you will need to replace your pipes instead of having them repaired. However, a pipe repair may be a valid option still if you have newer pipes made of less corrosive materials.
- Consider the frequency of past repairs: If you have had to schedule pipe repair services more frequently than usual, this is a good sign that your pipes could be deteriorating. Most often, you will find that a replacement would be the more cost-effective solution than continuing to schedule more repairs in the future.
- Consider the extent of the issue: If you have simply reduced water pressure or only a slight leak, you can likely resolve the issues with a pipe repair. If the issues become more extensive and result in more severe water damage, you might need a pipe replacement instead.
