What Is The Right Time To Re-Pipe Your Home

A leak here, a clog there – these are normal plumbing problems that occur in almost every home in Toronto. A clogged drain or pipe doesn't necessarily mean that you need to replace all the pipes of your place. However, wise home owners keep an eye on their home's plumbing and drainage system, especially if it is getting old. Every home owner knows that water damage is often a huge and costly issue. That's why it is essential to consult 24 hour plumber in Toronto to check the plumbing pipes and implement the best solution to prevent the problems and keep them in top working condition. You must consider consulting drain repair service in Toronto if you find any of the following signs.

Signs That You Need To Re-Pipe Your Home

Low Water Pressure – Low water pressure is one of the most common symptoms of a faulty piping system. Debris in water, water leaks, mineral deposit build-up, etc. can lead to low water pressure. Professional technicians can identify and troubleshoot the problem in a timely and discreet manner.

Reoccurring Leaks – Consistently reoccurring leaks can be the outcome of a breakdown somewhere within the pipes. There can be one or several leaks that are less visible.

Odd Colouring or Smell -  Odd smell or colour of water is not only repulsive, but it also means that the pipes are corroding due to rust. Even if the water appears fine after a few seconds of running, it is still time to consider replacing the pipes.

Inconsistent Temperature – Inconsistent temperature is a clear indication of ageing pipes that are too old to function properly. If you have ever experienced a warm shower turning scalding suddenly after someone flushed a toilet, it is time to re-pipe.

Loud Noises – Loud noises like banging or creaking coming from the pipes when the water is turned on or off. These noises may be the outcome of loosely attached pipe or expansion and contraction of water pipes. It is advised to consult a reliable plumber in your Toronto area to inspect the pipes and take an appropriate action.

Make sure you never hire an unlicensed plumbing service or attempt to re-pipe a house yourself. It may seem a cost-effective option initially, but it can lead to some expensive repairs in the absence of appropriate equipments and skills.

Excerpts from An Interesting Plumbing Discussion - Read On...

Is there any homeowner in the Toronto area who has never faced any plumbing issue? Aaahh Well! I doubt, there's one. There is a simple logic – you have a house, you will face plumbing problems. Even though, you have a well-maintained house with properly installed plumbing fixtures, you will definitely face some sort of plumbing problem with your toilet, sink or drain. Today, two of our clients took the initiative to talk over the plumbing problems and how they got over with them.


The conversation starts between two best friends who are also our clients, named Rodriguez & George.

Rodriguez – Hi George, how was your weekend? And by the way, why didn't you show up at my house, I was waiting for you. Hope all is well!

George – Don't ask about my weekend friend, it was an awful day. I struggled with a plugged toilet.

Rodriguez – Ohhh, but why didn't you call Santos Water Service & Drain? They would have solved the issue within a few minutes. Those guys are great when it comes to plumbing problems.

George – Santos?? Who are they? I don't know them? I called some other plumbers that my neighbour suggested but they were so lazy. Can you believe it, they arrived an hour late and that too without any appropriate equipment. I was so pissed at them, but somehow they managed to unclog the toilet after a lot of struggles. But, today I noticed that the toilet still drains slowly and I'm really worried.

Rodriguez – Haha, a friend in need is a friend indeed – Remember.

George – Oh Rodriguez, stop it and please help me out.

Rodriguez – Okay Okay, relax, we will call Santos Water Service & Drain to solve your clogged toilet issue once and for all.

George – No, Not Happy … First let me know more about them. This time I'm not gonna waste my money on any of the plumbing services before calling them. Ok, tell me – do they provide emergency services? Like what if I call them at 12 midnight or 4 o'clock in the morning.

Rodriguez – My friend you can call them anytime – they provide 24X7 Emergency Plumbing and Drain Repair services in Toronto and its surrounding areas. And the best thing I like about them is – they always show up on time and are always equipped with the latest equipments and techniques to prevent the plumbing or drain issue in a timely and discreet manner. I hope you are satisfied with my answer.

George – Well, quite impressive. But.. wait ...I am not COMPLETELY satisfied yet. I have another question.

Rodriguez – Aaahhhh ….not a problem...you just shoot it.

George – Oh Man! You sound so confident. I hope those guys haven't bribed you or hired you for their promotion ...Haha. Ok, I am thinking of getting my household pipes inspected once as to identify the potential issues at the earliest stage. How Santos Water Service & Drain will inspect my home's pipes? What equipments they will use to reach the problematic areas?

Rodriguez – George, Santos is known for providing high quality plumbing and drain services. They always strive to do better and maintain excellent relationships with their clients. Their technicians are highly professional and factory-trained. They use the latest drain camera inspection technology to reach the problematic areas within the pipes without any hassle. The CCTV camera allows the plumber to pinpoint the problem and undertake an appropriate solution to eliminate the issue. This inspection will also uncover the hidden issues, including broken underground pipes, tree root infestation, water infiltration, etc.

George – This sounds interesting! Do they also deal with frozen pipes? Every year I have to spend hundreds of dollars to replace the pipes that are damaged because of the cold weather.

Rodriguez – Yes, my dear friend, they will not only unfreeze your pipes, but will also guide you about preventive measures to prevent frozen pipes. They implement different techniques to thaw your home’s pipes, including hot water, propane torches, heat lamps etc. Just give them an opportunity to handle your frozen pipes once.
