Outdated Water Lines? Avoid a Plumbing Emergency With Timely Pipe Replacement

Question

Accepted Answer

You may think your plumbing is safe, particularly if you haven’t been experiencing any major plumbing issues, but if you live in an older home that still has its original water pipes in place, chances are the pipes are suffering from deterioration. This can eventually result in major water damage if the pipes suddenly burst due to freezing weather or severe decay.

Avoid unnecessary plumbing emergencies and have older water pipes replaced as soon as possible—particularly if you have galvanized steel, lead, or polybutylene pipes.
