Why You Should Schedule Pipe Repair Early

 

Folks do not realize that procrastinating on getting pipes repaired is going to cost them a lot of money in a short amount of time. Depending on the size of the leaking pipe or corrosion, hundreds to thousands of gallons of water can easily be wasted in a matter of weeks. Moreover, the longer your pipe goes without repairs, the more likely it is to burst completely, resulting in a much more expensive operation known as property damage restoration. By scheduling repairs with Angle Stop Plumbing, you will be saving yourself a lot of time, hassle, and dollars, so schedule an appointment for troubleshooting immediately.

 

What are Signs Your Pipes May Need to Be Replaced?

 

Generally, the first step for resolving a pipe issue is seeking out professional repairs, rather than taking the more drastic measure of arranging for a full replacement. Eventually, however, your faithful pipes will have undergone all the wear they can take and will need to be removed and replaced with completely new ones.

 

Total pipe replacement should be considered if you notice any of the following:

 

•Water pressure is low, even after a repair.

•Water pipes show signs of corrosion, i.e., rusting pipes, peeling pipes, pin holed pipes that continued to be repaired.

•There continues to be a backup of dirty, contaminated water in your toilet.

•Faucet aerators continue to clog from sediment, mineral deposits, or rust.

•You find yourself keeping your plumber on speed dial in the last several months.
