While Seattle is one of the best places to live, it does offer a lot of plumbing challenges for homeowners, especially since 50% of the homes here are over 56 years old (and counting!). And many of these homes still rely on their old plumbing of galvanized steel pipes. These pipes originally had an expected life span of 40-50 years, so for many homeowners, this means the clock could be ticking for a repair to their home’s main waterline.
Is it time? If you live in a home built before 1973, your home’s water supply probably still relies on out-dated galvanized steel pipes. Over time these old pipes will break and leak due to corrosion or clogs due to rust, chemicals, roots or our ever sifting soil. While you can’t see the damage underground, there are signs that you may need a water line replacement:
• Unexpected Water Bill Increase
• Low Water Pressure
• Discolored Water
• Soggy Lawn (Ok, its Seattle; so more soggy than usual!)
