Nothing lasts forever, including the pipes inside your house. Over the decades, the tubing gradually corrodes, rusts, and decays. Unless you replace plumbing, you’re eventually going to get leaks—and possibly a flood of water or raw sewage into your home that causes thousands of dollars in damage to your building and belongings. A homeowner will never know if a plumbing disaster is eminent without understanding how to check for compromising areas of your plumbing system in your home.

 

Here’s how to assess your plumbing system and know when it’s time for replacement.  The type of plumbing in your house determines how long you can expect it to last. So check you homeowner’s report you received when the home was purchased. There you should find what type of pipes you have.  Alternatively, bring in a trusted plumber to do a free inspection of your plumbing system. Your trusted plumber will know upon inspection if you’ll need a whole house repipe.

There are two other types of water supply pipe that should be removed immediately no matter how old they new they are; Lead pipes, used in the early 1900s, have a life expectancy of 100 years, but they can leak lead into your drinking water, a serious health hazard. Polybutylene pipes, used from the 1970s through the 1990s, are extremely prone to breakage.  This means your home could suffer a leak at any time.
