In most cases, the problem you’re dealing with is not a catastrophic or life-changing issue like a complete failure or pipe burst, and thankfully so. These problems can cause tens of thousands of dollars’ worth of damage in just minutes, leading you to have to pick up the pieces in your home. Instead, the majority of pipe leaks are actually small, and some might be so small they’re nearly invisible to the naked eye. These tiny pinhole leaks can sometimes cause more water damage due to their tiny size being almost impossible to detect, especially if the pipe is buried deep within your walls or in the slab beneath your feet.

However, these small leaks can still cause expensive water damage and the need for a major restoration. Leaks can ruin flooring, destroy drywall, lead to mold and mildew growth, compromise the foundation of your home, and so much more. And to make matters more frustrating, a single leak or damp slab is usually not an isolated plumbing problem; there is a strong possibility it is the first symptom of an aging and failing water pipe system.

Repairing old plumbing lines is sort of like putting a temporary band-aid over a gaping wound. It might stop the bleeding for now, but without the proper medical procedure, the issue will never really go away. In fact, it can get worse as time goes by. Instead, you should replace your old and failing pipes with new, modern ones constructed from premium materials. This is a whole-home repipe service, and it’s one of the major services our team at Steve’s Plumbing & A/C Service is equipped to handle. Whole-home pipe replacement typically involves a major disruption, wall and ceiling destruction, and complete rebuilding and reconstruction. However, by putting it off or simply not doing it, you could be exposing yourself and your property to tremendous risk. Pipes will continue to fail, and damage will continue to happen. In fact, the issue is so prevalent that many home insurance companies won’t cover homes with certain types of pipes that are over a certain age because of the risk.

At Steve’s Plumbing, we specialize in all types of pipe repairs and can help you fix, install, or replace the pipes that are causing problems. We make sure all of our services are mistake-free and compliant with all building codes and requirements, plus hold ourselves to high standards for your satisfaction.
