Plumbing pipes will let you know when they need to be repaired or replaced. It’s important to pay attention to three major signs that repiping or repairs are necessary in your Wichita area home.

Low water pressure: Low water pressure is one of the clearest signs that your home needs repiping. If you notice that the water pressure in your home has been declining and that your sink or shower has been emitting water at a slower or drippier pace, you could need repiping. It’s extremely common for food particles, hair and other materials to clog a pipe, no matter how careful you are.

Noisy Pipes: While some noise may be normal when flushing a toilet or turning on the shower, other noise such as creakiness may happen even when water is not being distributed. This could signal the need for repiping. If you are not sure about what a particular noise in your plumbing system signifies, have a professional check the pipes for you.

Continuous dripping: The first two signs are iffy and may depend on your home’s age. However, if you have leaky pipes or a faucet that simply will not stop dripping, this is obviously cause for concern. Not only can leaky plumbing be annoying with incessant drip-drip from the bathroom faucet, if a leaky pipe bursts before you have had your home repiped, it can ruin your belongings, damage your home and result in large amounts of wasted water.
