Pipe repair service may not be on your list of fun activities this fall, but it is definitely more important than carving any pumpkin, especially if you suspect any leaky pipes in your home. When pipes begin to leak or experience significant physical damage, the problem will only get worse if repairs are not made in time. This may cost you gallons of water and significant money loss due to higher costs on plumbing bills. Other problems include low water pressure, water contamination, and even damage to walls and flooring. What makes these problems seemingly unstoppable is that pipe problems are often difficult for homeowners to locate, mostly due to the fact that pipes are located in areas not immediately visible. That means a homeowner can carry on with their day without having the slightest idea of a problem, even when that problem is something that could ruin your entire plumbing system. With a situation like this, it may seem like identifying any warning signs would be impossible and you’ll just have to settle for a life of high plumbing costs. Not so fast- there are still plenty of ways you can identify a problem within your pipes, perhaps ways you may not have even expected.

When Should You Call for Repair Service?

In addition to our repair service, we can also show you what to notice the next time you suspect pipe problems are on the horizon. If you notice any of these 7 warning signs, please call us immediately:

1. Multiple Leaks: One leak may be easily repairable, but you should definitely call for service when you notice leaks seemingly coming from all angles of the system. It is doubly concerning if they occur in areas that are heavy on plumbing, especially near any essential plumbing fixtures, which may indicate that something is seriously wrong with the system.
2. Unexplained Cracks and Holes: If you are able to see piping anywhere in your home, it will definitely be outdoor or basement pipes. This will allow you to notice any damage like cracks or holes. Damage like this is much more common in older pipes, and it may be better to consider repiping services so you save money on repair costs.
3. Corroded Pipes: You may also be able to inspect outdoor and basement piping for corrosion. If piping appears rusty to the point where it looks like a plumbing problem may break out at any moment, it’s a sign that pipes inside your home are corroding as well and will need to be replaced immediately before they break apart.
4. Low Water Pressure: With faulty pipes comes low water pressure. This may leave you unable to take a shower or wash the dishes, which can be highly disruptive to your everyday routine. This could be a sign of pipe failure and that you should call for service as soon as possible.
5. Unexplained Dampness: Are you noticing your walls and floors becoming inexplicably damp? Then it may indicate you have a pipe problem, which should be fixed immediately or else you risk facing high costs on water damage restoration services.
6. Contaminated Waters: Tap water may get murky every now and then, but it usually goes away after a few seconds of running your water. However, if you are noticing murkiness on a much more consistent basis, your water may be contaminated. Damaged, leaking pipes may allow contaminants to enter your water supply, putting the health of your entire family at risk. It’s a sign that there might be a serious problem with your piping, and prevent you from having water for a wide range of purposes.
7. Outdated Pipes: If you have older pipes made from outdated materials, you may just be better off seeking a full-scale pipe replacement service. Any piping made of polybutylene, clay, or cast-iron will be much more likely to break apart and leave you to pick up the mess. Also have a plumber from McHales inspect your plumbing system if you live in a home built before the 1960s.
