Lead and Galvanized Pipes

If your home is older, then you probably have lead or galvanized pipes. One issue that we see all the time with galvanized pipes is rusting and discolored water. You’ll be able to taste it in your water. Lead and galvanized pipes typically have a lifespan of 50 to 75 years. However, these types of piping are dangerous because they are prone to rust. It’s common among homeowners to replace them with newer materials.

Copper Pipes

The most common pipes used in homes are copper. Copper does not typically need to be replaced as long as it has been maintained. One of the worst elements of copper piping is hard water. A lot of the time, in city areas, you will have hard water because of all the minerals and metals. The minerals and metals contained in hard water can lead to blockages and possibly burst pipes.

Quest Pipes

Quest, or polybutylene, pipes are plastic pipes that were used in construction and remodeling projects from the 1970s up through the 1990s. They are prone to developing fractures and can even burst under high pressure. If your home has a Quest pipe, you should have it replaced with higher-quality materials.
