Why You Might Need to Replace All the Pipes in Your Home

There are a few reasons why replacing all of your water pipes would be needed instead of simply repairing or replacing a few of them.

  • Very old pipes will need to be replaced eventually, and it may be smarter to get all of them replaced at once. While a full replumb may seem like a lot of work up front, it will save you time and constant repairs down the line. Old pipes may be leaky, rattle noisily, or be corroded.
  • Unsafe pipe material such as lead needs to be replaced immediately. The lead in pipes can get into your water, which is unsafe for you and your family. Other materials, such as galvanized steel, should also be replaced.

Signs Your Home Needs to Be Replumbed

There are some signs you can be on the lookout for to tell if your home needs a full replumb. Common signs include:

  • Discolored, smelly, or bad-tasting water
    This is a sign that your pipes are corroded, rusting, or that the metal is wearing down and seeping into your water supply. The water will usually appear somewhat red, brown, or yellow. It can stain your bathtub or shower, and the smell can be very strong.
  • Unusual water pressure, like faucets spitting and sputtering
    If your water is coming out of your faucets in fits and spurts, it’s another sign that your home may need a replumb. Unusual water pressure can indicate broken or damaged pipes somewhere in your home. The breaks in the line allow air to get into your water lines, which causes the water to sputter out.
  • Several clogged drains, such as sinks, tubs, showers, and toilets
    If your drains are emptying slowly, it’s a sign that there’s a problem with the pipes. It could be that you have multiple clogs, cracks, or breaks in your pipes which are making it difficult for the water to empty. If you only have a problem with one drain, it’s usually a clog; but when it happens to multiple drains all at once, it indicates a piping issue.
  • Sudden loss of water pressure
    This can happen due to rust or mineral deposits building up inside your pipes and clogging the bends. As the buildup grows, the amount of space inside your water pipes shrinks. This makes your water pressure go down, and the only solution is to replace the pipes.
  • Leaks in your pipes in multiple places
    If your pipes are leaking, you may or may not notice it right away. Low water pressure, puddles of water on your floor, and dripping sounds are good indicators. Other signs of water leaks are stains and bubbling or peeling paint on your walls, or mold growing on your walls, floors, or ceiling.
