Buying an older home can be sometimes advantageous and disadvantageous. The affordability can be the leading factor in buying an old home and it may come with a lot of other characters as well. There is a good possibility that the home has already been altered or was a custom home. Buying an old home doesn’t necessarily mean that everything is in good condition, though it may be modified – like its plumbing system and electrical system. If you are thinking about buying an older home, it is important to notice the signs of the plumbing system and when the replacement is needed.
When you see stained water
If you happen to notice the water that comes out of your taps or shower is tarnished, it can often be the sign of corroded pipe. The pipe may contain the buildup of the residue of the rust which can result in blockage and bursts. You can get rid of this problem either by drain cleaning or replace the older plumbing pipes completely. You can get it done with the help of professional plumbers.
The leaking of pipes can be obvious. Look for the stains in ceilings or walls or signs of mold or algae. And if your home has multiple leakages, then it’s time to replace the piping system.
If you smell bad water
Smelling water that comes out of your pipe can be due to the buildup of bacteria in the pipes. There could be a chance that this smelly water may inadvertently enter into everyone’s mouth when taking shower. This could be a potential hazard to your and family’s health. If it seems that the foul smell is still there in the water, it is good to replace the affected sections of pipes to solve the problem.
If the water smells like rotten eggs, your water supply has the buildup of hydrogen sulfide. Though the water is safe to drink, it could be the sign that the pipes are suffering corrosion. If the issue is present only during hot water use, it is a sign there is something wrong with your water heater. If it is present at all times, then check to see if your water is treated. However, you can contact a professional plumbing company to check if it is required to change the piping system or not.
When you find mold and water damage
When the plumbing pipes have the leakage, mold starts to buildup and cause the water to damage. Remember that some leakages are difficult to identify. You could have leaks behind the walls that result in mold and water damage over time. If you a notice large brown stain, it is already too late to replace the leaky pipes. Don’t get late to repair or replace the leaky pipes or else it will do more damage to your home.
