Repiping

Signs You Should Repipe

If the idea of repiping your home is daunting, consider this: in many cases, replacing older pipes with a new, more efficient system will result in considerable monthly savings. Some signs that you need to consider replacing your pipes include:

Smelly Water

CHANGES IN WATER COLOR

Witnessing a change in water colour often indicates corrosion or rust within your pipes, signalling that the integrity of your plumbing may be compromised.

Young Woman Drinking Water

BAD TASTE OR SMELL

If your water starts to taste or smell bad, it could be due to bacteria buildup or decay inside your pipes, posing a risk to your health and home environment.

Worried About Water Bills Image

RISING WATER BILLS

An unexplained rise in your water bill typically suggests hidden leaks, which means your pipes should be more sealed and efficient.

Clean Water

CHANGE IN WATER PRESSURE

A noticeable drop in water pressure might be caused by pipe obstructions or breaks, disrupting your daily water usage and indicating severe plumbing issues.

PLEX VS. COPPER PIPING

Two main piping materials are standard in the industry.

Both offer benefits and advantages such as removing any metallic taste from your water. There are, however, some differences that would make one type better over the other for certain homeowners.

PEX

  • Inexpensive to install
  • Flexible material makes it easy to install and repair if needed
  • Cannot be connected directly to a water heater
  • Sensitive to UV light and, therefore, cannot be used outside

 

COPPER

  • Lasts longer than PEX
  • Strong and sturdy, joints will not sag
  • Is not prone to leak
  • The upfront cost to install it is more expensive

Sometimes a full repiping service is not necessary. If you have a burst pipe at home, learn about the best options for you by reaching out to us today! We provide the Peterborough area with high quality plumbing services to address any issues people may have with their systems.

MAINTENANCE

Prevent major disasters with regular maintenance.

Your plumbing and electric system are part of the lifeblood that makes your house more than just a shell. Like all of us though, age and use can start to take its toll on the health and function of your piping and wiring. In many cases a small tune-up coupled with an annual checkup can prevent major disasters in the form of flooding or fires. We have seen too many cases where a devastating situation may have been prevented with a properly maintained system in place.

This is why we have created our Cardinal Care Club which provides our clients with a free annual maintenance inspection as well as a discount on services to help keep repairs and maintenance affordable and easy. Let Cardinal Plumbing & Electric maintain your home so you can enjoy your time in it with peace of mind knowing you’re safe.
