Pipes play a significant role in your home, they supply clean water to your home and take away wastewater from your home. But when is the right time to call a plumber in Norwalk, CT for repairs? And when is it appropriate to replace them? Questions about whether it’s wise to repair or repair plumbing are among the most common we receive.

Here at JNR Plumbing, we want you to make an informed decision about repairing or replacing your pipe, and that’s why we’ve listed the major factors you should consider when weighing your options.

Are your pipes made of out-of-date materials?

If you got “yes” as an answer to this question, consider enlisting plumbing services from a professional. Old plumbing pipes are inefficient, prone to breakages, and dangerous to your family’s health. An old pipe may not work as efficiently as a new pipe, so in this case it’s best to completely replace your pipes. 

How often do you experience pipe problems?

The occasional leak is a minor issue, but experiencing multiple recurring leaks within a year is a cause for concern. Monitor how often you schedule plumbing repairs. Pipes that regularly clog, leak, or get corroded are best replaced. Determine what type of pipe issues you face and how often you experience them. Repairing a pipe doesn’t make sense if you will get the same problem in a month.

How much longer will it serve you?

Although you might be confident that a repaired pipe will not bother you for quite some time, it’s important to consider how much longer it will last to avoid emergency plumbing situations. Plumbing pipes have a finite service life. Considering how much time you will use your repaired pipe before it breaks again and what might happen the next time your lines fail will help you make an informed decision.
