How Do You Know if You Need New Pipes?

It is easy to forget about your plumbing system until an issue occurs. For many people it is out of sight and out of mind, but the longer you let an issue progress, the more costly and extensive it can become. The piping throughout your home or business can last for a long time, but it is important to recognize when it may be time for an update.

Some of the signs that you should call EJ Plumbing include:

• Discoloration of water
• Flakes of rust in your water
• Reduced water pressure
• Stains in the tub or sink from yellow or brown water leaking out

What Is Involved in Repiping a House?

Just like everything else in your home, pipes are subject to wear and tear. But usually, because they’re out of sight, they’re often out of mind. But if your home is older than 50 years, it might be time to replace your pipework. Repiping involves removing the old pipes and installing new ones. This can include everything from the kitchen and bathroom to the water supply line and drain lines.

Depending on whether you need only a section of pipes replaced or the whole home plumbing redone, the project can take anywhere from a day to a few weeks. At EJ Plumbing, our San Jose plumbers have the tools and knowledge to accurately inspect your pipes and deliver reliable repiping services.

Does Pipe Relining Work?

Pipe relining is the process of repairing broken pipes and drains without digging up trenches. The treatment involves using epoxy and resin to reline pipes that have cracks or wear/tear. It’s an affordable alternative to full on pipe replacements and can last a long while.

Advantages of relining pipes:

• It’s non-invasive and doesn’t require digging trenches
• It requires less time to complete (usually done within a day)
• It is more cost-effective than other replacement methods
• It’s an eco-friendly procedure

How Long Does Pipe Relining Last?

On average pipe relining lasts for50 years, which is how long the warranty usually lasts. But high quality epoxy and proper installation can extend the pipe relining lifespan to over 60 years.
