What is Repiping?
Repiping is a process that is designed to replace corroded, broken or outdated pipes with new plumbing pipes that are designed to allow water to flow smoothly in your home’s plumbing system. It is a bad idea to try to complete repiping projects on your own because it is too easy to make mistakes that are very costly to fix. As a result, most home renovation experts recommend hiring a reputable plumbing company such as Petri Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Drain Cleaning to help you complete a repiping project in your home in a timely manner.
What Are Some Signs That I Need Repiping?
Most pipes that need repiping in Brooklyn often have visible problems that are easy to spot. Some of these problems include:
Green colored corrosion spots that will not disappear using regular cleaning methods.
Broken or cracked fittings that are impossible to repair using normal plumbing repair methods.
Unsightly black colored spots that are caused by lead fittings or lead plumbing solder.
Moreover, you may need to repipe your home’s plumbing system if you receive a notice from the Department of Buildings that states you must replace your Brooklyn home’s pipework in order to comply with New York City’s plumbing code.
How Can I Keep Pipes From Bursting?
There are many things you can do on a regular basis that can help prevent burst pipes. Some of these things include:
- Insulating your pipes using high-quality installation materials.
- Maintaining your home’s pipework using techniques that are designed to maintain a pipe’s fittings and interior.
- Removing unwanted debris and grease from your home’s pipework on a regular basis.
