Frequent leaks and low water pressure throughout your home could mean that it’s time to consider repiping. At Mr. Rooter®, we offer professional repiping in Norfolk, VA, and can give you a solution that lasts for over 50 years.
Here are some of the signs that you may need repiping:
Recurring Pipe Leaks
It’s not uncommon for water lines to spring leaks on occasion, and these can be patched fairly easily by a professional. However, if you have many leaks in a relatively short space of time, it may mean you have damaged or corroded water pipes. In such cases, you may need repiping, and if the damage is extensive, you could require whole-home repiping.
If you have recurring pipe leaks in Norfolk, VA, call Mr. Rooter® to schedule a visit from one of our technicians. They can patch leaks to prevent further damage and then discuss further repairs and repiping if required.
Low Water Pressure
Low or inconsistent water pressure is often caused by a buildup of minerals, but can also occur when pipes are misshapen. You don’t need repiping to fix all problems caused by low water pressure, so when the issue strikes, contact our experts, and we’ll put the pipes through their paces to diagnose the issue and recommend a solution.
Discolored Water
If your pipes are producing brownish, rust-colored water, there’s likely a buildup of rust. The inside of the metal can rust and deposit rust flakes into the water, which then comes through your faucets. It’s usually safe in small quantities, but it’s off-putting, and it’s not something you want to be washing in or drinking on a daily basis.
Your Water Bill Has Spiked for No Reason
There are many reasons why your water bill may increase. Your rates may have increased, or you may simply be using more water inside (baths, showers) or outside (irrigation, watering the lawn) the home. But if your habits or rates haven’t changed and your bills have spiked, it may mean that you have an undetected leak somewhere in your home
The leak could be underground. You won’t necessarily see it or even hear it, but it will keep ticking over your meter and could eventually damage your foundations. Our expert technicians have a range of leak detection tools at their disposal, including thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices that can detect leaks even if they occur underneath your floorboards or behind your walls.
Your Drains Emit Strange Noises
If you’re hearing banging or rattling sounds, it may be caused by high-pressure water forcing its way through loose pipes. Those pipes rattle and bang, and the noises can be very concerning. The problem could be an easy fix, but in some cases, you may need repiping.
You Have Very Old Pipes
If your piping was installed more than 50 years ago, there’s a high chance they are made from galvanized steel, which is prone to rusting. Even if other materials were used, they can still degrade with the passage of time. All that high-pressure water rushing through your pipes will leave a mark over the decades, and you may need major repiping to remove corroded water pipes and install new, efficient pipes.
