What Happens When Pipes Are Damaged?
Pipes can become damaged in a variety of ways, from external factors such as a burst water line or a tree root that has penetrated the pipe to internal problems such as corrosion or a manufacturing defect. Regardless of the cause, damaged pipes can result in a number of problems, including:
- Low water pressure
- Water that is discolored, cloudy, or has a foul odor
- Water leaks
- Floor, wall, or cabinet damage
- Unpleasant odors from the water
It is important to address a damaged pipe as soon as possible, especially if there is a leak. Water damage can be extremely costly, especially if it affects the foundation or the structure of the house. If you are unsure whether your pipes have been damaged, give us a call for Ottawa County repiping services. We can inspect your pipes, determine if they have been damaged, and provide you with a cost estimate for repiping.
Modern Materials for Long-Lasting Pipes
Pipes are made from a variety of materials, including copper, steel, and plastic. Many homes have PVC pipes, which are resistant to corrosion and are easy to install. Other homes have galvanized steel pipes, which are also resistant to corrosion.
Copper pipes are more expensive and more difficult to install. However, they offer the best performance and are more resistant to corrosion. If you have a choice, you should use copper pipes for your plumbing system. We can help you decide which type of piping is best for your home.
