WARNING SIGNS
Your kitchen and bathroom plumbing perform an essential task for your home, albeit an unglamorous task. Since your home’s plumbing is not a glamorous thing to upgrade or improve in your home, you may opt for more cosmetic renovations when the time comes. However, you don’t want to neglect your home’s plumbing. Here are some indicators that your kitchen or bathroom plumbing needs to be replaced:
Whether it’s an appliance, air conditioner, or yes, your plumbing system, anything in your home that needs frequent repairs is likely to have a shorter lifespan. As your kitchen and bathroom plumbing system ages and needs more repairs, you should begin to think about replacing it.
Lead pipes are more common in older homes, but if your kitchen or bathroom plumbing system utilizes lead pipes, you should consider replacing them. Lead poisoning can be dangerous with repeated exposure.
In the event you begin to notice a mold infestation in your kitchen or bathroom, your plumbing system likely needs to be replaced. Signs of a mold infestation include mold spores on the walls or ceiling, dark spots near pipes, or crumbling drywall.
Sometimes old age is good enough of a reason to replace your kitchen or bathroom’s plumbing, especially if rust has begun to take over the system. Kitchen and bathroom plumbing systems should last upwards of 30 years.
Any visible signs of water damage is a telltale sign that it may be time to replace your bathroom or kitchen plumbing. Visible signs of water damage include puddling of water on the floor and wet spots on your drywall.
