Unless you live in a fairly modern, recently built home, you probably won’t know a lot about how your plumbing system is getting on. Yes, it’s working, and you know a bit about certain parts, but not many homeowners know the status of their water system. If there seems to be a bit of trouble, this might indicate a system overhaul, and you may need to call a plumber to discuss the benefits of installing a new plumbing system.
The Signs that your Plumbing System needs to be Replaced
Home catastrophes are unpleasant surprises, so it might be a good idea to know what signs to look for before you are confronted with a burst pipe.
Colour of Your Water – If your water supply through the tap starts to look a bit reddish or rust coloured, it might indicate some corrosion in the older pipes. That’s not something that can be ignored as that may lead to a burst pipe, and then you are looking at emergency plumbing repairs rather than a planned installation. Foul smells can sometimes detect deteriorating pipes due to rust or mold.
