4 Signs You May Need to Replace Your Plumbing

Plumbing problems in the home can create a lot of damage if they are not taken care of right away. Some leaks or cracks are obvious and can be fixed without much cost to the job. Other problems are not seen so easily and may take longer to find and fix. Any water dripping from a faucet may cause other problems such as mold or mildew in your home. These problems should not be ignored as they may cause health problems to the family. Professional plumbers are well trained to find leaks and replace broken lines for the safety of everyone concerned. Following are 4 signs you may need to replace your plumbing:

1. If your kitchen or bathroom faucet makes a high pitch screech sound when you turn it on, it could be coming from the bleed-off structure in the pipe that is not working properly. The screech noise is caused by air that is getting into the pipes and keeping the valve from shutting down.

2. Water pressure is another sign that will tell you that the plumbing fixture needs replacing. A number of different problems can cause pressure problems. Your pipes may be old and have a leak somewhere down the line or the pipes may be of the wrong size and are causing insufficient water pressure. You may also have a clog in your pipe. Some of these problems can be fixed and sometimes the line needs to be replaced. Professional plumbers will have the proper tools and knowledge to replace your pipes in a timely manner.

3. Toilets that are backing up all the time may have problems of tree roots growing somewhere in the lines. Plumbers have lines with small cameras on them to help them locate the problem. The pipes that have been invaded with tree roots would need to be replaced professionally.

4. The best time to replace any plumbing in your homes is when you are going to remodel that room. Remodeling a room without updating your plumbing fixtures may cost you more in later years. While your kitchen or bathroom is torn apart for its new appearance, the plumbing is easier to get to and replace. If you had to tear up your kitchen or bathroom after remodeling, it would cost you more in money, stress, and time.
