Pipes can break down for many reasons. Here are the most frequent causes we see in homes:

• Corrosion: All piping materials eventually wear out. Corrosion slowly eats away at metal, causing pinhole leaks or pipe failure. Older systems are especially vulnerable—especially when water quality or pH is unbalanced.

• High Water Pressure: While strong water pressure can be nice, it puts added strain on your pipes. If left unchecked, it can lead to cracks, leaks, or even a pipe burst.

• Worn Seals: Over time, rubber seals between pipes and fixtures can dry out or degrade, allowing water to escape through joints and fittings.

• Shifted Pipe Connections: Natural soil movement, foundation shifts, and seismic activity can pull or bend pipes, weakening or disconnecting joints.

• Frequent Clogs: Repeated blockages don’t just slow drains—they stress your system and, combined with chemical cleaners, can erode pipes from the inside.

If you’re experiencing any of the following, your pipes may need repair or full replacement:

• Low water pressure at faucets or showers

• Frequent changes in water temperature, especially in hot water lines

• Reddish or brown-tinted water coming from taps

• Unusual sounds like banging, gurgling, or knocking in pipes

• Trouble using multiple fixtures at once (e.g., flushing a toilet affects the shower)

• Moisture under floors or signs of a slab leak

Even subtle issues can indicate a growing problem. A full system inspection can confirm if repiping is the right solution.
