Has the water in your home or office turned a disgusting rust-like color? Has your water pressure dropped significantly?
These are two of several symptoms that you probably have worn or corroded plumbing pipes. Call and schedule an appointment with the professionals at James Lane Air Conditioning & Plumbing Co. Each fully-trained technician is a seasoned plumber who can fix your piping problems and ensure that your piping system is working safely and properly.
Damaged or deteriorating pipes can cause serious issues in your home or in the office because they may cause water leakage, which leads to more serious problems. Here is a three point checklist of warning signs that your pipes may be damaged or deteriorating.
One: brownish water. This discoloration is the result of rust in the pipes, and can spread and corrode even the thickest steel pipes. The discolored water, when consumed, can cause severe health issues. It may also lead to sink, countertop and fixture stains as well as damaging leaks and floods.
Two: low water pressure. This is usually the result of a leak, clog, burst pipes, or flooding on your property. When you notice a significant drop in the water pressure, the problem will quickly escalate.
Three: the water turning colder each time someone else uses a faucet or flushes a toilet.
One or more of these issues mean that your pipe system is not working correctly and needs to be addressed immediately. Your professional James Lane Co. technician will replace pitted or corroded copper pipes with a new system that is quiet, energy efficient and corrosion-resistant.
The technician will also review with you the different options that are available, including cross-linked polyethylene plastic, copper or galvanized pipes. For instance, polyethylene is a strong, flexible style of plastic that can be installed quickly and affordably. The plastic resists scale build-up, is easy repairable, lasts for decades and is a wise choice for the budget-conscious home or business owner.
In addition, copper is frequently a preferred choice because it lasts for a very long time, resists corrosion and enhances property value. It does take longer to install and is more expensive than polyethylene.
