Since you can’t easily see the condition of your pipes on a daily basis, it’s sometimes difficult to know if you need to replace them. Look for the following signs it’s time to book whole-home repiping services in Cedar City, UT, then give Iron Mountain Plumbing a call:

Decreased Water Pressure

A decline in water pressure may stem from old and worn pipes, but it isn’t always the cause. However, corroded pipes, sediment buildup, and leaks are all common reasons. Upgrading to better pipes with the help of an expert plumber can make a noticeable and money-saving difference. 

Leaks or Cracked Piping

You might not notice cracks in your pipes until leaks are causing water damage throughout your home. Leaks are frustrating and can lead to unsafe living conditions, especially if water provides the perfect breeding ground for mold and mildew growth. Even slow leaks can lead to you spending a large chunk of change on repairs, which repiping can resolve. 

Frequent Repairs

Repairs aren’t going to restore your pipes to top shape if they’re old and corroded. Waste less time and money by finally making the leap to replace your old lead or galvanized steel pipes. Although you may not look forward to replacing all the pipes in your property, the age of the piping could indicate that it’s inevitable.

Costly Water Bills

Are you paying a usually high amount of money for your monthly water bills? This alarming situation suggests your plumbing system has an issue, and more specifically, your entire pipes. Why settle for an inefficient, expensive set of pipes when you can easily switch to PEX or copper?

Some other signs you need new pipes may include if your water looks or tastes strange. Discolored or distinct-tasting water can come from rust, sediment, or mineral buildup, making an unhealthy drinking, bathing, or cleaning experience. New pipes can create clearer and safer water.
