Frequently Asked Plumbing Questions
Why are pipe leaks harmful??
If a leak isn’t stopped quickly, it can cause costly water damage to your home. Plus, it can create the conditions that allow mold and mildew flourish, and some types can have severe impacts on your health, causing everything from nose and throat irritation to lung infections or central nervous system damage. And, if the leak lasts long enough, it can cause components like wood beams or floor joists to rot, compromising the safety and structural integrity of your home.
Can I thaw a frozen pipe?
You can thaw a frozen pipe with a hair dryer or rags soaked in hot water, but if there is damage elsewhere in the plumbing, thawing the pipe may lead to water damage in other areas of the home. To thaw pipes safely or repair damage from a frozen or burst pipe, it’s best to call a professional.
Should I repipe my home?
If you have good-quality, modern piping like copper, PVC, or PEX, and you have no major leaks or other plumbing issues, repairs are likely the most affordable way to tackle the occasional leak or damaged pipe. But if your pipes are over a few decades old, you have had multiple leaks or plumbing issues, or they are made from defective materials like thin-walled copper, polybutylene, cast iron, or galvanized steel, repiping may be the most cost-effective long-term option.
