Signs You May Need Repiping
It’s often hard to tell that you need repiping because many issues can be solved with repairs. The only real way to know is to call a professional plumber to make the assessment.
However, there are some signs you can watch out for, particularly if you have an older home, that indicate you may need whole-house repiping. If any of the following problems exist in your home or building, give us a call:
- Rust stains on your laundry
- Rust in the sinks, tubs, toilets, & other fixtures
- Low water pressure throughout the home or building
- Slab foundation wet spots

Repiping For Old Lead or Polybutylene Pipes
Lead and polybutylene pipes should always be replaced if they are still a part of your plumbing system in Bend, Oregon. They are not recognized by the building code authorities as safe in the United States. As we know, lead is a toxic poison.
These pipes are more likely to fail than about 30% to 40% of all the other old plumbing lines. Both the plastic resin used in water pipes and the lead pipes are unreliable. If your home was built from the 1970’s through the 1990’s or prior to that, it’s highly possible you need repiping. Call us today for an assessment.
