For multiple reasons, fresh, pipe replacement will elevate your water quality.
Did you know that replacing your water supply pipes can solve your issue with rusty tap water? Pipe replacement has many advantages. For instance, it can prevent possible maintenance problems or enhance your property’s resale value. For multiple reasons, fresh, new water supply pipes will elevate your water quality.
Corrosion-Free Water
Corrosion happens when minerals and water scrape against and wear down the inner walls of your water pipes. It also affects pipes in various ways, such as rust accumulation, bottlenecks, mineral clogs, leaks, pressure buildups, and even ruptures. When minerals or rust build up inside the pipes, the water that slides through those pipes will chip it off and carry it downriver to you. Consequently, the rust or mineral buildup may be responsible for your water’s smell, taste, or appearance.
Even though all plumbing pipes wear down over time, some last longer. A water line replacement from W.H. Winegar & Son Plumbing and Heating should ensure you don’t have to worry about corrosion for a long time.
Better Piping Materials
Lead was the most prevalent plumbing pipe construction material during the 1930s. Chances are your water pipes are more recent than 1930, but that does not mean they are lead-free. In fact, lead-based products were used to solder copper pipes until they were banned in the mid-1980s. If your metal plumbing pipes are from before then, this signifies they contain lead.
Unfortunately, lead is less robust than modern plumbing construction materials because it corrodes and chips away at your water supply as it ages. If you discover lead in your water, we strongly recommend that you have a professional plumbing company perform a water line replacement in your home.
Properly Well-Done Construction
While all pipes break down over time, they tend to break more often if they are made of different materials. When various metals come into contact with one another in the presence of an electrolyte, they may begin to break down faster than they should because of galvanic corrosion.
The older your water pipelines are, the more likely they are made of different materials. For example, the previous homeowners may have completed a pipe replacement or not have considered the pipe material. Fortunately, our professional water pipe installers can ensure your pipes resist galvanic corrosion, even if you are replacing part of your water line system.
Clean Water Supply Pipe Lines
The average homeowner possibly never thinks about the cleanliness of their water supply pipes. After all, how can their pipes get dirty in the first place? However, corrosion and mineral accumulation can occur despite you doing everything correctly.
Having our plumbing company complete a pipe replacement in your home is an excellent opportunity to inspect the cleanliness and health of the rest of the plumbing system. In addition, cleaning the inside and outside of your water supply pipes will prevent possible leaks, ruptures, clogs, or mineral build-ups.
