Time to consider replacing those old plumbing pipes. French Connection Plumbing is the best plumber in Auburn! Get the job done right!
Older homes have a wonderful charm, from the curbside appeal to the exterior details. Most older homes were built custom, offering unique features and historical value.
Young or first-time buyers may be more interested in purchasing an older fixer-upper home because it may be a more affordable option than a new build.
If you purchased an older home, you may want to look at the age of the plumbing system. Most older homes have old pipes that need to be replaced and upgraded not only for the stability of your plumbing system but also for the health of you and your family.
The most common pipe replacements in Auburn:
Lead
Lead pipes are extremely dangerous to your health and should be replaced immediately. Lead can enter drinking water when a chemical reaction occurs in plumbing materials that contain lead. This is known as corrosion – dissolving or wearing away of metal from the pipes and fixtures. This reaction is more severe when water has high acidity or low mineral content. - cdc.gov
Polybutylene
Polybutylene pipes are likely to rupture. It’s believed that oxidants in the public water supplies, such as chlorine, react with the polybutylene piping and acetal fittings causing them to scale and flake and become brittle. Micro-fractures result, and the basic structural integrity of the system is reduced.
It’s not all doom and gloom though!
