The copper pipes located throughout your home are typically sturdy and made to last; however, over time through daily wear and tear, your pipes may experience more difficulties. Repiping your home may sound like an overwhelming chore, but our team at Gladiator Repipe provides exceptional copper repiping to our clients throughout San Jose, CA, and the surrounding areas. Continue reading to learn the telltale signs you need to replace the copper pipes in your San Jose home!
Low Water Pressure
Extremely low water pressure can be characterized by one or more of your fixtures — typically the hot water side — not flowing at an adequate level. This can happen because the pipes are full of rust that is blocking and restricting the flow of water to the fixture. The solution is to replace the copper pipes to that fixture. Gladiator Repipe can quickly and accurately install new piping that will last for years to come.
Brown or Rust-Colored Water
If your water comes out a brown or rust color when you turn the faucet on, it may be a sign that the pipes are also full of rust and you need copper repiping for your San Jose home. Our team at Gladiator Repipe is happy to repipe your home and ensure you have fresh water at all times.
Abnormally High Water Bill
An abnormally high water bill may be a sign that you have a leaking pipe somewhere in your crawl space, a leak in your slab foundation, or possibly a leak on your main water line coming into the house. This would call for a full repiping to ensure any leaking pipes are not causing any further damage to your home.
Rust Spots on the Outside of the Pipe
Have you noticed white or rust-colored pockets on your galvanized steel pipes? That means the pipe is completely rusted from the inside out, and now the only thing holding the pipe together is the rust itself. This can be extremely dangerous as your water system is under constant pressure and is “pushing” outward on these weak points in your system. It can cause a major water leak and damage your home and property. Contact Gladiator Repipe immediately for copper repiping in San Jose to prevent any leaks or pipe explosions.
