Leaks- Waste & Water

Old piping may contain many leaks waste and water alike in your home.  Your pipes maybe full of old gunky build-up and corrosive materials. These build-ups will cause water to leak through any means necessary for it to escape or continue to build until you home has water where it should not be! Clogs not only can cause water to flood or be a drag when trying to flush but the water sitting in your old metal pipes will cause it to erode away causing leaks as well. Galvanized piping contain short bends in the waste system making it harder for materials to pass through to the sewer main line. These clogs and leaks may cause raw sewage to enter into your home.
 
These are problem areas and are even harder for snakes and such machine to pass the bend to clear the blockage. Re-piping these leaking, problem causing pipings can be cost effective if done with the proper contractor and worth while when selling or adding value to your home.

Different Water color & an odor

Pour yourself some water in a clear glass and check out the color or contaminates. If you get anything other than clear, like a rusty murky color and foul odor do not drink it. It may not be safe until boiled and even then a potential health hazard. You most likely in need of a water re-pipe to remove all the contaminates out of your potable water. Old rusted out pipes full of gunky build-up can add a strange color, foul odors, bad taste and health concerns and should rarely be used for drinking purposes.
