When people buy a new house, sometimes they don\u2019t have the luxury of waiting for a home with completely updated\u00a0plumbing systems. They just feel lucky enough to have landed an older home at all. However, if your house was built before the 1970s or hasn\u2019t been remodeled at all, you likely have old pipes that need\u00a0replacing. Here are a few tips to know when you might have a problem.<\/p>\n

Look for Trouble Signs
\nIf you have exposed pipes in your home, such as in the basement or crawlspace, take a look. If you see stains, flaking, discoloration, dimpling, or anything out of the ordinary, these signs might show erosion. Likewise, yellow or brown water coming out of sinks or tubs means your pipes are disintegrating and filling your water with small flakes of metals and debris. If your pipes are made of lead, this could be toxic, so it\u2019s paramount to get this checked out by a professional.<\/p>\n

Remove Hazardous Material
\nHouses built in the early 1920s likely have pipes made of lead and polybutylene. Before people understood their toxicity, they were used as fairly cheap building material, much like asbestos was until the 1970s. However, these pipes are extremely hazardous and should be\u00a0replaced immediately. Lead can seep into drinking water and cause dangerous health issues.<\/p>\n

Best Time to Replace Pipes
\nIf you\u2019re already remodeling or renovating your home, this is the best time to replace your plumbing. Houses on raised foundations are even easier to handle, as the pipes can be replaced with minimal damage. When you\u2019re ready to\u00a0replace your pipes, an experienced plumber can help you choose the best option for your home. Copper pipes and PEX pipes are both materials that people have chosen to replace their old and aging pipes.<\/p>\n
