Signs You Need to Repipe Your Orange County Plumbing System
It’s not even Labor Day, and you’ve already dealt with more pipe repairs in your Orange County home than in the past 15 years you’ve lived there. Not only has it made simple actions like starting the laundry machine stressful as you wait to see if the floodgates open, but it’s also a strain on your wallet.
When pipe repairs become your new normal, it might be time to consider repiping the plumbing in your home.
Signs Your Home Needs to Be Repiped
A mother knows that the shower is sacred, a rare moment of peace amid chaos. But if you’re dealing with sudden temperature swings, low pressure, or pipes that scream every time someone flushes, it’s time to listen to what your plumbing is telling you.
While pipe material naturally wears out over time, age isn’t everything. We’ve replaced five-year-old piping that failed under pressure and left fifty-year-old copper standing tall. So it’s not about the number, it’s about the symptoms.
Here’s what to watch out for:
- Persistent Leaks
- Low Water Pressure
- Rust-Colored Water
- Sudden Temperature Changes
- Banging or Noisy Pipes
- Higher Water Bills
The best way to handle plumbing problems is to be proactive rather than reactive. If your home is showing signs of plumbing distress, don’t wait until you’re cleaning up water damage from burst pipes and leaks that bring more headaches than a teething toddler.
How Does Repiping Work?
If you’re imagining floors ripped open and walls torn down, don’t worry. At Barker and Sons, our repipes are efficient and minimally invasive.
We reroute plumbing through your attic instead of underground, which protects it from wear and allows for quicker access. That means less mess, faster service, and safer pipes.
A repipe also opens up the doors for newer, and dare we say better, plumbing materials. Rather than sticking with copper, we love PEX piping. Not only is it less expensive than copper, but it’s also more durable! It bends more easily, making leaks less likely, especially around joints and bends that give your copper piping the run around.
Pair it with a water treatment system, and you’ll enjoy clean, sediment-free water that’s gentle on your pipes and your family. That’s the kind of smart plumbing that pays off for decades. And that’s priceless.
